    That's a fast 60 time. Almost a 1/2 sec quicker than mine on stock tires. You'll beat most cars with that time.

    Matching an STI

    Something happened to the guy in the STI at the start. I've raced those cars and they'll take us at the start but we'll pull them in the 1/4. The 1/8th will be scarry with an STI. We need the second 1/8th to let pull them for sure.
