Because we have nothing better to do that week, we're bringing the GT350 and Taxi too. Sonny will drive the GT350, Dan in Taxi. Not sure what classes. Doesn't really matter as all three of us will get our asses kicked by proper time attack builds. Should be fun just the same.

If the GT350 has 100TW or higher tires it will slot into Limited. Street has to have 285mm tires or smaller. And if the sequential is still in Taxi then that goes straight to unlimited. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars lol.

Sounds like a party.

If allowed to run in ERWD, Sonny in the GT350 with 285 wide 220 TW tires has a real shot of podium IMO.

I'll be watching from my office chair on youtube 1000+ miles away. Looks like a good turn out. I'd like to see that GT350R on 200TW's run. I too bet that could run podium if the conditions are right.

If only we had wheels narrow enough for 285s...

I'm stoked that you guys are going! It's a great show to be a part of, regardless.

Indeed, the GT350 would have a very good shot in ERWD with the right tire size. Podium last year was 2:00-2:03.

Everyone here qualifies as a pro driver by their rules so, no Enthusiast class for us. Besides, it's not really appropriate for a team with our resources to be running that class.

I will be there with Hyper. There's about a season's worth of prep/fab/test/tune to do before that car's actually where I envision it for the class (Limited RWD) but this event will be a good baseline, and maybe by SLB 2018 I can bring some heat.

We're most definitely probably maybe also bringing the ND. I just added some aero to that car so now it won't stick out like a sore thumb at SLB being the only wingless car. Will likely run it in Street RWD just to have fun and chase a new PB.

Yes I'm speaking more in terms of just that car on paper. It's probably the right call for you guys to not run in Enthusiast

Same issue, Creampuff is going to be as green of a build as it gets, hoping to cram one test day before SLB but as it is it's a fight to the finish line... I'm still missing most of the bodywork, might have to do a very uncharacteristic thing and run an unpainted car with mismatched, well, everything.

They have wrenches at 949. One could presume it has been removed
