I was curious too why we were off a bit from the other ST classes. The Roger Johnson-designed courses were tough, very busy, and a bit dirty with lots of off-camber stuff so I think it favored the smaller momentum cars. Heck, BS (Isley in a RX8) almost beat AS. Both courses also had about the longest sweepers (both off-camber) I've seen. All in all though, both were a blast to drive and I'm glad I held on for the win.
Now, did you notice which tires the winners of STS, STS2, and STU were on?

Isley is always our target out here, as BS has a close PAX to STU.

Yeah, good job Jason. Good to see another Evo win, the first STU win on Bridgestones this year and another Jason winning 
Rick, you know Isley lurks on every forum known to man. I'm sure he'll be on here soon now complaining about out PAX

As far as Ron "learn how to race autoxer" Baur, he wasn't there in a brand new pretty yellow Solstice GXP so I'm thinking he didn't win
Of course he was being pretty tight lipped about it (I figured he was under contract to) but he did a good job announcing for STU-L (without slipping in any acroymn jokes).

First off it's "Bauer". Ron's one of the few ppl who pronounces my name correctly so I gotta look out for him too
It's about 50/50 who's faster, the fastest STU car or Isley. If STU is faster it's usually within .5, if slower it can be much slower, like 1 sec or so (I'd guess that's because on some courses race tires can be a much bigger advantage our power advantage, but that's just a guess). Isley is at a disadvantage since he's up against up to 5 fast STU drivers down here... But I think we have a PAX disadvantage

Jason (C), here's some pax results from early this season when I could still drive. We paxed 3 in a row behind Jason (I).

Now as spaf mentioned, STUers Hayter, Simanyi and Jason (U) can be quicker than BS depending on the course. Isley does drive the wheels off that RX8.

Congrats on the Tour Win. I really wanted to go down there for that event. I love Texas(lived there for 5 years). Was hoping to get to spend some time in Galveston... it just wasn't going to work out. I think we are headed up north though to play with Dave in Milwakee...
Evo's are kickin' butt this year...and they say Subies are the cars to have...psh
