..and for once, at least for Saturday, DE2 isn't scheduled to be in the classroom during the Thunder race.

Can’t wait to find out if the Fuchswanz brothers are running a TT3 trim C5 in ST2 or a ST2 trim C5 in TT3.

Also, can’t wait to hear how a supercharged Viper can get to 9.5:1 in TT3.
Can't believe I'm missing this event.

Also interesting to see a Pontiac Solstice running ST2. Don't think I've ever seen one at an event at any level.

That'll be cool. Is it a ls conversion or no?

Good to see the car lives local.
An aero C5 in TT3 is 9.5:1 before any other adjustments. ST2 is obviously 8.0:1 now. That's a huge gap that can't be compensated for with ballast.
I'm curious to see how they work around this.

Ray Huffmaster is driving the Solstice. It's just an old SCCA T2 car, no engine swap or anything. It may be modified to STU specs, however. It's hard to keep track of those guys and their cars...

I can't wait till NARRA runs there in May. How hot do brakes get on a 3400 lb Viper with 750 hp at CMP in a 40 min race

They actually live in maine! They each have their own aero c5s which might explain being in 2 different classes.

I hope they are stopping at CMP on the way to Fla or on the way back to Maine, because I can't imagine driving from Maine JUST to run CMP
