Last weekend was a new chapter for the Project SI with the addition of another racing class.   So far the Project SI is holding strong in the SCCA events and the Sport Compact Drag class, now the Project SI is taking on its 3rd challenge at the BoiseDrift Time Attack series.   May 22nd was the first Time Attack session for the BoiseDrift group and it was a huge success, the Time Attack...
