Don't know if we'll get there, but we're going to try, traffic dependant of course. We're carrying too many penalty laps to have realistic shot at a podium, but we're going to have fun. I think the bend adds about 8 seconds, so you certainly have a shot! @red0 must be hitting the reefer.. our fastest time at RA is 2:53.xxx, the engine swap isn’t going to take us down to 2:47.2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indysupra 67 Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 Forecast is starting to take a turn. Still too early to tell. We had two botched race attempts this year so we may have to go to amp to try and make it count as far as weather goes. The c4 could run good at RA. Kinda bummed.

Weather forcasting in the upper midwest in October is laughable at best. It's only even remotely reliable in the 24 hour range. Anything more than 3 days out is useless. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snorman 2,751 Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 I sure hope it doesn't rain. We've had a bad run. Sebring: Rain. It rained day 1 and day 2, less on day 2 but enough to slow us down. Road Atlanta: Everybody knows. It snowed. Then it got foggy. And it was slick and foggy and at the end of the race I thought I might die. COTA: All clear, great weekend. Daytona: My hint should have been when I couldn't get into the track on Friday for 2 hours because they closed the gates due to lightning. PBIR: Sudden downpour on Day 1. @Snake almost took out a slow moving car on the back straight at 120+ mph. @Bill Strong was driving through the puddles under FCY apparently trying to piss us off. Fingers crossed. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 1,561 Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 Anyone have an idea when we might see pit assignments come out? Haven't raced with CCES in a bit and don't want to email MM. He's busy enough as it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure at this point as I am just pulling something out of thin air. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
