SPLN, I think I've seen you out there before, or at least a very similiar car to yours. Mike's tires were spent by the end of the year and the STi had added a new suspension late in the year. The STi has the advantage of being 15 years newer and obviously is a newer better handling car then Mike's old GVR4, but he has some new mods he wanted for this season this year, so we'll see.
Crystal, that was Scott that brought his granddaughter to autox, he's the guy I bought my Laser off of, and yes the Mini Cooper's are VERY good handling cars!
