I did not realize it was this weekend. They ran one course yesterday and results are posted. The Mark in his SVT Contour, and Eric Ford in his Cougar are running neck and neck in 18th and 19th in G Stock. Andy Hohl (SVTSTS) from Java's St. Louis region is in 9th in a 97 Ford Cobra in SM.
They have one more course today and then they combine the best of the two course times to determine the overall winners. Highlights:
Super Stock
1st Z-06 John Ames....42.544
11th Z-06 Mark Sipe...44.774
12th Z-06 Robert Lewis 44.789
I've run agianst both Sipe and Lewis finishing about 5 seconds behind their times on a minute course or 2.5 seconds slower on a 30 second course...on street tires.
D Stock
4th Integra Type R Matt Grainger.45.762
12th IS 300 Al Aberson...........47.477
Grainger is the one dominating JavaContour/SVTSTS St. Louis region.
G Stock
1st Celica GT Rob Foley 45.738
2nd 99 Camaro RS Ed Martens 45.850
3rd Celica GT G.H. Sharp...45.898
4th CRX Si Rob. Carpenter..46.337
5th Celica GT Whittaker....46.388
6th Celica GT Ken Rupp.....46.563
7th Celica GT M. Hirt......47.022
8th Celica GT John Darrow..47.171
11th Celica GT Charles Wright
14th Celica GT Clay McCool 48.174
15th SVT Focus Alex Long...48.645
18th SVT Contour Mark Bishop 48.949
19th Cougar.....Eric Ford....48.989
There are 23 cars total. Note that 8 out of the top ten GS cars are newer Celica GTs. They are dominating the class and should possibly be in D Stock where times are similar. The Mark and Eric Ford are neck and neck with the top placing SVT Focus...and the Focus driver is a national caliber driver so this shows it is not appreciably faster than the Contour.
H Stock
1st 02 Mini-Cooper...46.654
The new Mini should probably be in G Stock!
STS
1st 89 Civic Si Jason Tipple..45.327
2nd 99 Subaru 2.5RS Richard West..45.869
6th 02 Civic Si....47.299
15th (last) 97 Maxima.....49.118
The STS and G Stock classes (both our autocross classes) have nearly identical PAX indexes. So pick your poison. You can stay stock and run sticky autocross tires in G Stock, or lower and sway bar your car in STS and run nearly identical times in theory.
STX
1st Integra Type R 46.560
Street Modified
9th 97 Mustang Cobra Andy Hohl (SVTSTS)45.689
