Smacked-down a Supercoupe...on Blizzaks!

Yep!


As is so often the case, when you're faced with a two-lane road that merges into one lane a little after the intersection, every car you line up with is willing to run it. Lucky for me, it was a black Supercoupe with a neon plate cover thing, and dumps.


I think if the ground wasn't a little damp, or if it was warmer, I would've been humiliated...but those Blizzaks are ten times better in the wet than any high-perf tire I've ever had, and by the time the kid hooked up, I was easily three cars on him and heading for third gear. I backed off at yellow-line in third, engine-braked a bit, and short-shifted to fouth at about 80mph, too far ahead to judge the distance back to him. It just wasn't there for the kid, but I must say, he would've given me a run for my money if I was on summer tires.
