im confused at why this is the 2011 event?

These are the photos from last years event. I love the shot of me leaving that you got, I had to leave early because I lost my starter bolts and didn't want to have to keep pushing it to start it. Funny thing, I fixed that right after this and just lost my lower bolt again last weekend. Time to tap it out and slide in a bigger bolt haha.

Because I got that far behind in 2011. I'm working on 2012 right now though.

Yep, I was just sitting by the side of the road during the fun runs.

You should check out the video of your run. I captured your backfiring. So why do the bolts keep coming out? Is this a common issue?

Haha stupid backfiring. I've got that fixed... again... haha, hopefully after getting my O2 sensor bung rewelded in a new location, it won't break off again and leave me with a nice big open hole in my exhaust. I'm pretty sure I just over tightened it last time I put it in because it's striped out now. I put loctite on it originally and I'm pretty sure that's the only reason it stayed in there as long as it did. Not a huge fix, but just have to get under it and do it. I've fixed a lot of my little issues, now I just need tires and I can get to autocrossing it again. And headlights too, the ones on it are falling off/fugly haha.

The backfiring is always entertaining, especially in that neighborhood. As far as over tightening, that's why I always use a torque wrench.
