Are you sure it wasn't an ES330?  Not that it would matter....

My GS300 wasn't that bad at Putnam Park.  I didn't expect much from it, because it
doesn't have any midrange-up power (relative to a SHO), and because of that it would
be left in the dust at Thunderhill.  But with short straights and predictable
corners, like at PP or maybe Blackhawk, it was a contender.  The worst thing was the
tires....they slid all over the place.  If it'd had a set of RE730s, like Lowrider
did at Summit Point in 2002, I think it would have done VERY well....point and
shoot!!

It probably won't go on the track again, but it WILL get some good wheels/tires, and
maybe some Tokikos, down the road.  I'm very pleased with it.

Then, all it'll need is a turbocharger, then I'm ready for Kirby, Mark, and Josh!!

...yeah, RIGHT!!!
