*****This is my car behind the opposition who is also in D-Stock. It's a 2005 Subaru Impreza with the standard four-wheel drive. The driver said that the only mod he had were the Falken street tires all around. I knew that I had to drive perfectly because I was at a severe disadvantage! Being front wheel drive was okay with me because I've been driving that all my life, but the all season Kumho ASX's was too much of a handicap! The only thing that I could rely on was my driving, which I was pretty sure improved a lot since last year.

***** While we waited at the grid, I was worried about how I'd know whether or not I was doing better than him because he was in front of me on the grid. That meant that I would never hear his time because I would still be on the track by the time he finishes his first run and the announcer announces his time. That sucked. So on the first run, I ran the best I could. But on the second run he came up to me impressed with my time and told me his time. It turned out that I was about four seconds faster than him on the first run! Whew! By the final (5th) run, I beat him by about 2-3 seconds and took first place!
