Default B16 EK @ Lake Superior Performance Rally

Just finished the Lake Superior Performance Rally last weeking up in Houghton Michigan. Finished 3rd of all 2WD entries.

Lots of DNFs over the weekend, and I almost DNF'd myself the second to last stage on day 1 hitting something on the side of the road (knocked the wheel all the way back into the fender).

Here's a bit of video I posted so far, I'll add more once I'm done sorting through everything.

See you in the snow in January at Sno*Drift in Michigan!

Well, it's a bit less crazy than you think. I'm running a 1.14 5th gear with the stock 4.4 final @ 8300rpm limiter which is a bit over 100mph, but still crazy doing those speeds on dirt roads. If I was hitting the limiter on an OEM 5th gear, yeah, I would need to check my pants after the stage.

Updated first post with a nice "kick" picture which was the moment at 1:15 in the video in the OP. Was totally a jump, but it was awesome one.

The notes called it out as a R5/kick (Fast Right 5 over kick) which a kick won't get you that far off the ground. A kick typically will do this to a car:
