Saskatchewan's Fastest Streetcar Shootout

I took my 90 coupe to Saskatchewan's Fastest Streetcar Shootout in Swift Current on the weekend and won the Quick Street class. Here's a little video from the event, which includes some in-car as well:

It's the Swift Current Airport. The car definitely was running slower there than usual, but everyone else had the same handicap. At least there is a real long shutdown if you get in trouble!

Well, when you have a guy covered by 4 seconds like I did with that 2010 Camaro with the blower, you might as well let them out first and be sure that you are not red. I always look slow on the tree in the early rounds because of that strategy, but I did run a .104 on the .400 Pro Tree in the final and got the hole shot on Bryce Hungerford who is a quick starter.

Seems like valid points as when I watched you did take the start in the final, great strategy.
