I would think they will consider Barber a "wash" becuase of the terrible sportmanship and carnage. As we were leaving the race....and going to the car the announcers came on and said they were working lap 45....and 29 of them had been yellow flag laps...and it was an emabaresment.
How Grand am looks at it is qualifying times...then they take each makes fastest race lap...10 lap average...2o lap average...and 30 lap race average.
This is one part of the Z esp at Barber we thought would be in our favor for a green flag lap.
While we may not have top 10 single fast lap...our car because of the weight and setup...may not fall off as much during a full stint.
The showed last year when we ran the 128's....our car only fell off 1 second on the 20 lap average...and other cars fell off 1.5 - 2 seconds. We came away p2 in last years Barber ST race.
The Porsche 3.8 is making good power for sure...and good power to the wheels ...and has only 50 more lbs than us. I know for sure...the old non direct injection 3.8s were about 320 to the wheels stock....and the new engines are up a lot higher than that.
Im thinking they are making 360ish to the wheels at least.
I bet after Homestead there will be another rules package update....that is if everyone in GS drives better.
