Ha, well, I'd have to say that it'll probably be considerably more competitive in its class. I was about three seconds off a WRX, which is a class above the MR2, but that guy was on race tires. I think with good tires and more experience I can easily make up that gap. There were a couple Miatas there, both of which will be moving to ES next year with me. One guy I beat easily because this was his first event in 25 years. The other was running times that were similar to my own, and he was also on race tires.

Before yesterday I was thinking about running STS2 next year. Now I've changed my mind again and want to run ES. This car would just be too much fun on r-compound tires, and they could easily help me make up the difference I need to, so I think that's what I want to do. Plus ES will be cheaper - I don't know that i can spend what I would have to in order to be really competitive in STS2. I don't want to move into a mod class until I can do everything that's legal.
