That's Vic Sias from San Francisco Region SCCA Solo2!! I'm from there too, and I see him all the time at our local autocross events. He is insanely fast!! Thank goodness my S14 is in DSP, and not SM with him, or else I'll be losing all the time. haha. SM is a very competitive class. DSP is actually a competitive class too, because the national champion Ben Martinez is in my class... but I like the competitiveness because it makes me work hard to become better.

Current DSP national Champion is Mike Shields, and I still owe him and his co-driver beer. In SM, Vic Sias and Bob Tunnel are pretty dominant, except on the tighter courses where Chris Travis' (from my region) EG Civic can keep up (and lead). He's (Travis) actually building an EF Civic that should be faster, so I've got a decent SM mark to gauge my own car to around here.

If the DSP Bimmers stay in DSP (and don't get moved to BSP) you can blame me and the co-driver (Chris Franson). The argument was submitted that a 240sx could be equally competative in the class (200rwhp'ish, bigger tires).
