On the first day of the 2011 Tire Rack One Lap of America, the first challenge was the wet (with sprinklers) 200' skidpad g-load competition.

Before the start, Brock Yates Jr. in a 550 BMHP BMW X5 M took to the skid pad to demonstrate how to do the run... First two green flag timed laps counter clockwise and then two laps clockwise. Lowest elapsed time (and therefore highest grip) wins. He set a baseline just over .80 g.

This very competition set off with the top-seeded cars going first. This included Modified Subarus, EVOs and GTRs...

Our car was #18 and it came our turn. I was the first in the entire field to beat Brock's score with a g reading of .826. We took first place in this competition, briefly leading the entire event.

PILOT SUPER SPORTS are REMARKABLE in the wet... They seem to be holding up very well in the overall competition this week as well.

Bravo, Michelin.
