Swift Springs Does it Again!
Just got back to OH after running the Saginaw Valley Region SCCA event at Barstow Airport in Midland, MI. Had a great time (as always) running with that group. And I got a ride in the Showcase Mitsubishi (Voltron) with Andy at the wheel. Wow, is that car fast. The g's you feel in the corners is nuts! And I was reminded that I need a good 150 more hp 
Otter came along and co-drove my car. And did a great job! Had launching down right off the bat. (Numbered as 108)
In MI, we have a street tire classing. For Detroit Region its TSM (only SM cars), up in the SVR Region its a street tire indexed class. So any class that allows slicks you run with your class but are indexed. So example, my car is SM (sti).
I had the fastest raw time in the indexed class with a 48.3. Otter had a great run of 49.8 (awesome for the first time in my Evo!). A well prepped STU Evo ran 50.6 for reference.
After all the indexing I took 3rd in class and Otter had 4th. A CSP and DSP car indexed higher with 50-51s runs.
To have won I would have to have run a 46-low 47s run. But with the national level Showcase car laying down a 43.x run in SM. I am happy to run sti

Mr Brightside: The front two are the Star Specs and the rear are the org Z1s. I killed 2 tires earlier this season at Winged Warrior. But the tires are great! Tons of grip and really nice manners. (PS - mievo.net is the MI Evo club)
Thanks Jim!
