Adventures in PTE/TTE
#761
This weekend will be the biggest run group ever for PTE @ Mid Ohio. 16 or 17 cars.
Two very fast aero/vvt dyno reclass NAs (Montgomery and Leicty)
At least one full points Nb1 (Kopitski) in the old 949racing "Bubbles" car. Basically running the Mt.net/Trackspeed/949 paper theory points build. I think. He posted a Facebook pic with an airdam. So we'll see how he shows up.
Three PTE* NB1 (myself on brand new-to-me 1000/500 setup and Killian Jr/Sr)
One PTE* na8
a points Sentra (PT director)
a BMW 318
and a focus
a handful of other unknown to me Miatas.
It it is my first PT race after earning my provisional last month.
It will be decided at morning meeting whether we standing start or rolling start.
Im so excited.

Best of luck but I think you're bringing a knife to a gun fight. (sorry).

There might be better ways to use your points. My paper build is 192whp, 2410 lbs, 205 A7's, splitter, air dam and wing. Power level hit with ginormous cams. It would be a 30hr grenade motor but yeah, 192whp.
If 2320# @170whp on SM6's got a low 1:48 at Sonoma (no splitter) I'd venture 1:46's in good weather for the above build.

Crusher was the only PTC car we ever ran. Sonoma record was after nationals when they closed the MSM loophole. I lost some points so got rid of the splitter, took points for the LSD so added the OS Giken. Could no longer run A6's so SM6's only. New dyno class from Greg was 2320# IIRC. I ran 2350# at 2012 Mid-O nats I think. Ended up being just as fast after a few tuning tweaks to suspension and OS Giken. In Mid-O lap record videos you can hear lots of wheelspin with the stock MSM diff (ugh).
