Tony,
It was nice seeing you at SP.
My car has firm and soft suspension settings, and I found the "soft" setting was better through T5-T6 with all its new bumps. Problem is, I liked the firm setting for the remaing track and I didn't want to fiddle with the buttons during the turn-ins - - so "firm" was the setting most of the time.
I stayed for the last day and I was out for the first run session of the day @ 9:00 am. Track was cold and damp, but no rain at that time, so I kept the suspension setting on soft in the 3. By the time the second session for me was staging, that's when the snow showers began, so I went to get the subie. The subie did awesome in the wet with mild drifting in the wet turns. I could feel the AWD was on most of the time and I could smell the brakes from the hard braking. After the end of the 2nd session, I called it a great and safe weekend . . . packed up and went home.

Gone is our perfectly smooth asphalt. T5 and T6 have had asphalt "patches" installed. T5 does not give you the klunk like the old SP but it is very bumpy now from the apex and for about 20 feet after apex. T6 has the patch start just where you tap the brakes and is also very bumpy for about 20 feet.
I guess they could not (and did not) do the proper prep work before repaving last year. If they would have handled the water problems in these 2 corners maybe the asphalt may not have been ruined and thus patched.Nice weather today but I bailed out and drove home since it is to snow and rain most of the day Saturday.
