Looks nice…maybe I’ll get motivated to start on mine when the temps cool down.

Good catch on it looking a little lowered – Chris had converted it to the ’99 Sport package, which means slightly shorter stiffer springs, rear spoiler, Torsen LSD diff, and front strut tower brace under the hood. He did leave the power windows and A/C (thank goodness!)

And to follow on what Wei said, Tire class is basically where you start running once you get kicked out of Novice, so you’re not that far away from being a direct competitor!

Tire class is a PAX class open to cars using standard street tires, with these two exceptions:

1. Soft compound, DOT approved racing tires don’t count as street tires.

2. All street touring cars aren’t allowed to run in this class.
