Loren,
First, a friend called to check on his entry (in ST) and was told
by Denver that there are now 21 cars registered in ST! Great!
Second, STL is not empty (Linda Duncan is driving my Prelude in
STL). However, it would be a lot more fun with more ladies. I wonder
if you and Wendi Allen would consider switching to STL? 'Any other ST
ladies out there who might run STL?
Third, referring to another ST thread, it is likely that the top
Street Touring class in 2000 will be STR. We were hoping some of the
non-R tire manufactures (such as Michelin) might want to become actively
involved is ST. Since that now seems unlikely, STR will likely take the
top spot. To paraphrase Howard Duncan: "With ST, if you really do a
great job in preparing your car with all the legal engine and suspension
goodies and you really drive well, you might be as fast as a top H Stock
car. Groan. You can imagine the rest. Now none of this is set in
concrete, so if you have a constructive suggestion, one way or another,
make sure you let Denver know.
