Kurt Roehrig from Roehrig Engineering (shock dyno's) will be there in his new state of the art GTA car. This car cut a 1:57 at VIR, and 1:12 at Roebling running in GT-1 trim.
(meaning he used a Hoosier Radial tire not legal for GTA and a slightly bigger spoiler)

That is gettin' it done in a 500 flywheel hp stockcar on 10" rubber.
