... tomorrow (Sunday) from Mid-Ohio. Same day coverage, just time delayed. 1pm EDT, I believe.

My team, #99 Tiger Racing, qualified 5th today just .2 seconds behind Heinricy in the 3rd CTS-V.

Go Team.

Here's me getting the driver ready at the Sebring race this past March

Ok,
Here is the deal.

Audi= faster than Caddy at present levels.

Caddy faster then everything else at base weight, where Heinricy was

Porsche, Viper, Corvette very close, except that the Porsche and Viper are a little light.

BMW needs Auberlen or Boris to be as fast as last year

Mustang= big power medium driving, but hard to tell if it could be faster. Boris will be in one at Sears point then we will see.

Rewards weight skews the curve. The 2 regular Caddys and Audi had over 100 pounds in rewards weight which should caculate to a 1.2 second slower car at Mid O. when in reality the Audi was faster than the unweighted Caddy. So the Audi should come down to the Caddy speed. But were it not for the Audi, the Caddy would have run away with the show, so it needs to come back to the performance levels of the other cars.

Forget about where and why they finished 6th and 7th, just keep in mind that the unweighted caddy was just as dominant as the Audi that had 100 pounds of rewards weight. And the Viper only had 60 pounds and the Vettes had NO Weight.

An unweighted Vette could not keep up with the unweighted Caddy, period.


The answer is that SCCA has a hard job dealing with the factorys. the real answer is that they should beat the factorys down to the point that only a non factory car can win for 3 races to make up for the Audi/Caddy gifts that they were given at Sebring, LR and Mid O.
