I've gotten word via the SR20DE forums that first blood has been struck: Steve Linn has scored the first official ITA win by a B13 Nissan. It happened over the weekend in the Indy Region; I'm guessing Steve will show up and give us the scoop.

Let the grousing begin!

Well, let me clarify. Yes, it was most certainly a B13 Sentra SE-R win in ITA on Sunday, but it was at Gateway in St. Louis. I'll also qualify that my car is no where near prep'd to the limits. Original 133k motor and a set of old KYB shocks (the rears of which are leaking) on Hyperco springs that are no where near stiff enough. I don't think I would call the field extremely stout either as there were only 5 cars: a Saturn (novice), an RX7 (novice), an MR2, a Spec Miata running ITA, and me. BUT, the SM/ITA and I had a spectacular battle. He was quicker than me thru the infield esses but I could horsepower him with my whopping 125whp on the oval section. It came down to traffic - first me getting held up allowing him by me with two laps to go, then him getting held up with less than a half lap to go. Got him with an outside move in NASCAR 4 and beat him to the line by a few car lengths. It sure as hell was a lot of fun!
