I hightly doubt there's a conspiracy to have Caddy dominate the series. SCCA made a mistake letting Caddy into the WC with their huge changes from the street car and they realized it. They have rendered the Caddy uncompetitive until this change, and the jury's still out on the end effect of this change. Notice, they hit the Audi on many fronts - rpm limit, weight, and turbo boost. Only Heinricy's Caddy did well at Mid Ohio. With these changes I'm sure it would have dominated that race, but then it would instantly get hit with weight, just like the other Caddys that are now mid pack runners.

Your points ARE EXACTLY MY POINTS.....from ****yesterday**** (IMG:

But the Caddy Base was STILL able to catch the Audis at the end of the last race.....some would say that without the crazy long yellow, and shortened race....the Audi's tires were DONE, and Caddy would have WALKED AWAY WITH IT.....
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE THE SERIES.....penalize EVERYBODY BUT CADDY?????
uh un.....NO WAY!
