I think the article said the driver was from somewhere east, like Riverside.

I drove my '95 for 6 years and never took off the ASR unless I was at the track.

On my '03Z the active handling is going to come off. It is nice that it has a competition mode for the track.

Well, all your "complimentary comments" about AH need to salute.
NOT the "AH system".
Salute the team that developed the algorithim that makes it work.

Thanks for all your hard work, boys and girls.

And, of course, road-racing is an entirely different story.
If you are learning, running the competitive mode is REALLY not all that bad.
And, if YOU are running a race car nearly as fast as Fellows, it's not even on the car.

Or, closer to "our cars", if you pass John Heinracy in "the T1 or AS runoffs",
you have definitely earned the right to "turn it off totally".

Am I the only one that loves the fact his last name is a combo of "Heine" and "Racy".
That man has had one fast *** for years and years in "near production cars".
