I do not believe the penalties the SCCA gave to the Audis are sufficient to make them finish out of the Top 10. I bet they are still potential race winners right behind the Caddys.
For now I see no competition for the Caddys, which is why I am absolutely confident the SCCA will come down hard on them either by Infineon or just after.
What I don't understand is why they would put a 20% restrictor on every other car out there. There is something else going on that we don't know about, but I'm still saying it's not a conspiracy. (IMG:

The most logical thing to do would be to remove this new rule for 20% restrictors on everyone else, keep the new restrictions on the Audis, and make the Caddys run a car that at least looks like the street car. I do believe that was an absolutely asinine call by the SCCA in the beginning to let the Caddys run like this. However, now that Caddy has sunk this money into the series, they've sponsored the series for this year, etc. I bet there is huge pressure on the SCCA to figure out how to keep the current base car legal and make the other cars competitive. That's where they just can't get it right. They were on the right track after Sebring, but it's obvious without some weight the Caddy will still run away.
