Yes I am running it in SSP. I did not have any issues running Hoosiers this weekend. Put it in Sport mode and turned the traction control off and stability control off as well and car worked well. Was hoping to scuff the Hoosiers in but barely got the mold off the tires. Ran on sealed asphalt and it was a little slick and not easy breaking them in. Sorry I do not have any videos to share because I forgot my card this weekend and did not use it in the past events. Really hoping BFG or any good 200 treadwear tire would stop playing games and come out with a 19 inch or 20 inch tire that fits the Z06 otherwise I do not think I'll be running it in SS anymore. I'm sure I am not the only one wanting that though.

I haven't used my trailer in a few years (been running ST or Street classes) & I don't want to have to break it out again.

When you put it in Sport mode you can hold the button down for 5 seconds or so and both lights will come off. If they don't then resort to pushing the button down twice. Yes I did run into the problem of the car having the same problems you did. I learned at Spring Nationals in Lincoln, it was the second race I took it to. It was not fun at all. The first autocross I took it to the car handled great. It was a local event and I messed around with some of the traction controls and absolutely loved the car. Then when I took it to Spring Nats for the second race I had all kinds of problems. Then when we switched to Sport mode it made night and day difference. Don't forget to use that PDR in your car. It will be very useful!
