Dunlop Treads Lightly
How badly do you want a free set of Dunlop tires? Are you hard up enough to sign up for Dunlop's Treadhead program and let a hair stylist shave the tread pattern of the SP Sport FM901 tires in your head? Don't worry; it's not Jonny's stylist. These stylists know what they're doing. A bunch of lucky people stopped by the Dunlop booth and got free tires, a haircut, and $50 cash from RASR. RASR even donated money to charity in the name of each participant. See, Jerry, they just write it off. For more info, check out www.dunloptire.com.

Can't Beat Super Street
You know we always bring the sick cars to IAS, so what makes you think this year would be any different? Shame on you. We had a mean display in the Primedia booth with the Signal Auto 350Z, Daigo Kasami's HKS S14.5 Silvia conversion, and Rikdaddy's never ending project car with in its new platinum coat. What will we have next time? We don't even know.
Tarzan The Super Street Man
There's no doubt that you've seen this crazy blonde Asian dude before. No, not Jonny Wong. We're talking about Eiji "Tarzan" Yamada, the one who can actually drive. Tarzan is going to be doing a lot with Super Street in the future. Driving impressions, installs, blowing stuff up-you name it, he'll probably end up doing it.
Word To Your Mothers
Mothers Polishes Waxes Cleaners was in charge of picking two cars for the Top Tuner Award. One of the winners was Seth Rowan and his insane Science Of Speed carbon-fiber widebody Acura NSX (shown). The other was the Five Axis Scion xB DJ car (not shown). Both of these cars are well deserving of this award. You can count on seeing increased coverage of the Five Axis xB in an upcoming Super Street issue. Still not satisfied? Check out www.mothers.com for more information on these cars.
