In your previous posts you said you "had brake issues".. Something up with that prototype setup? If you can't (or won't) say due to an NDA, that's fine.
As far as the brakes go we think the master decided to crap out on us. But im all ears on penske tuning or advice!

Yeah, I have to go check one out some day. Unless they plan come to Hawaii for one event...kind of like the Pro Bowl used to.
These are trackspecs vents they make for the e36. The ones they make for the c6 i thought were too small.

Thanks
Each OUSCI qualifier are two-day events. Day one is the Detroit Speed Autocross, Lingenfelter Design & Engineering Challenge and LucasOilRacing.TV Road Rally. Day two is the PowerStop Speed Stop Challenge and the Falken Tire Road Course Time Trial. Each segment is worth up to 100 points, with first place getting 100, second getting 99, third gets 98, etc... and the field is sold-out at 75 entries.

A perfect score for a weekend is 500, but the closest anyone has ever gotten is 494. Once points are distributed, cars are split into one of five classes, so even if someone in the GTV class for cars built before 1990, only has 389 points, if that's the most in his class that weekend, he gets an invitation to the 2017 SEMA Show and OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational.

Invitations are also awarded at the end of the season to the top-three non-qualifiers from each class and the next 10, regardless of class. There is also a regular season points championship in each class and the point totals from a competitor's best three events count toward their season total for both the championship and OUSCI qualification.

Here's a link to Super Chevy's coverage from New Orleans.
