I know Steven personally... Tara on the other hand, I saw her drive and I wasn't "ultra impressed"... Yes, they were driving Steven's car and put down some pretty good times... I think the fastest times that Rankins managed was something like a low 36 second run... The FTD was set by a guy in a Blue 350Z that had one hell of a Titanium exhaust on it!! He made it himself and it sounds like a TRUMPET!!! His time was a 35.05something... He just baerly beat Rob Falkner in his A-Stock Porsche Boxter S (Silver one)... I believe Rob got something like a 35.3something...

I am very satisfied with my 37.xxx run

Too bad it was an unofficial run though

... Still managed to pull off a 38.717 for my fastest official run

Tara can be unimpressive at times - I think I've beaten her times on a few occasions. But at other times, she can be an extremely tough competitor and hard to beat.

Steven is a real class act and a great guy to watch. He was testing out some new tires at that event and all were brand new at full tread depth (8-10/32). With shaved tires (3-4/32) he definitely would have been faster.

What class was that 350Z in? B-Stock? BSP? SM?

Missed your autocross by a few days, but I am in Roxboro, NC right now. This rental Jeep Liberty would be interesting on a course too!

The 350Z was in BSP... He ran R compounds on his stock wheels... It is a Blue car with a single titanium exhaust... Believe me, you'll know it when you hear it... It sounds simply amazing!!!
