Always a shame to see how much of a choke they put on our V10's WTH

The Comp Coupes at the World Challenge races had like quarter size hole over the intakes.

It's like running a marathon breathing through a straw.

I wonder if there is anyway to get into the SRT area without the full package? I am working the race and won't have my car or anything and obviously don't need tickets.

 

[02ViperTodd]

I'm there, in the corral. Gonna be great!

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

My brother lives in Atlanta and owns an NSX so I'm sure he'll stop by and see you guys. He's goes to the races every year. Take it easy on him thoughHe's short a few cylinders.

BoP adjustment for the Vipers at Petit, -20kg, and 75mm higher wing. Haven't found an official link yet, just twitter traffic, and insider info

I'm driving from New Jersey. I still have to disassemble my entire suspension along with brakes, drive train, and hand it off for blasting and powder coating before I leave on Friday.

Sounds good now let's hope it will bring good results despite the intake restrictors. Speaking of those are they getting a bigger opening next season?

Got an email from Dominik last night.

He and the boys are doing great.

The cars are running GREAT!

"We are very very close to the top spot!"

 

[InjectTheVenom]

So this means they are in second place then

Just remember the displacement limit in the series. The only way Vipers were allowed to run an 8 liter engine is that they were grandfathered in the original series. It may sound unfair but they might be better off to run V8's in the cars to escape the restrictors. They would probably be more competitive too because they wouldn't be so choked down. Can you imagine one the NASCAR style V8's in the new Viper! It is a shame that such fine handling cars can't use the power they were designed for but I guess some of the other competitors feel the same way. Any series that tries to equalize cars by displacement, restrictors, weight, or other means is fighting a constant battle to keep things even.

Our team is always FIRST in my book!

Mine also, it is just a matter of time before they turn "very very close to" into "ON" the top spot Just being happy with the good news

We're running the largest restrictor opening of all the GT2/E cars, that I know of, ie per the rule book. I haven't looked at all the waivers and BoP adjustments. I don't know if it will get bigger or not, but I suspect Petit will help determine what the team gets for Sebring, regarding weight, aero, and restrictors.

Mr. Gunman, you must be associated with our friends from Riley Technologies. Correct?

Looks like they were within a second of the group leaders during the final practice session Wed.

Yes. I probably met some of you during the VOI tour.
