Long day... many changes just trying to get it right.
Bryan got the stickers which netted about 1.5 seconds for him in the second session.
We kept him in the car for ptc to get him more seat time.
The track has been changing... the weather changing so lots of adjustments.
P3 is at 9 am tmrw and then quali will be right after.
Our weight is 2900 lbs smallest NA engine in the field and smallest tires 245 front 275 rear
V8 cars are all 3200-3350 275 all the way around.... All making 415-430 @ the wheels.
Porsche is the sleeper as the teams are running GTS engine and only have another 50 lbs over us.
I keep joking (but not really)... We could use more front bar!!!
And the current bar is massive!
I still haven't gone out on fresh tires.... Soo maybe tmrw am I will get Bryans 3 lappers.

We are looking to be inside the top 6 for quali tmrw but we shall see.

Eh just weld a piece of angle iron from one side to the other . Those big front sways (e.g. Hotchkis) really are one of the best handling mods for this car, even on our little street-legal vehicles doing HPDE runs.

Good luck tonight
