Wow, to be that new at it and doing that well is fantastic! It does help to do it every weekend. Then you get several years of experience in one year's time.
I did not research the tires of the Type R. I just assumed they were 16" wheels and similarly sized. My bad.
I don't think any of us doubt the SVT is outclassed in G Stock now. But what about next year? Add a second to your times and you still have a good performance against most non-Type Rs. Maybe we can convince Dave Andrews to buy race tires. As you mentioned you have numerous nationally competitive drivers in your region, so judging Dave's times vs. his old times and those of the national competitors..like you could be...would give us a point of comparison.
