7.5 lb class for GT

[Fishlips]

Dan,

The front wheel drive conversions like Grossi's won't fit into a 7.5 lb class because it would be more than the allowed 250 lbs above or below their factory shipping weight.

You can not factor a car for aero drag since it increases as the square of the speed. This means a 10 mph head wind will have twice the effect on a on a dirty car as it would on one of the new jelly bean shaped cars. On a calm day your factoring would be fine, but at tracks like Las Vegas, Sonoma, Tucson, Fontana, Fallon... Well you see what I mean, everywhere we race, it wouldn't work equally. At Vegas I have had to dial the Monte Carlo up 2.5 tenths for the head wind. How much have you had to add in your Camaro? See what I mean.

Maybe I should build a new Monte Carlo and take advantage of the new designs, Ah hell no. If I build anything it is going to be slippery!
