Thats a great benefit to running in STS or other street tire classes! Your
always on your race tire! (Note no tire squeal on course either). Once had
a girl hit her head on the windshield during braking, didn't notice she
wasn't wearing her belt! Also did great on my driving test except the
evaluator said I took corners way too fast, and that was in an 84 Ford LTD
and I thought I was driving so slow I could've taken a nap.
