As an SP3 racer the 951's in our class "vary" quite a bit. The S2’s and S models in super cup (AKA SP3) have little reasonable modifications that could be made IMO. I feel pretty comfortable running with the letter classes in PCA. As far as what PCA recognizes has varied from track to track, region to region. In Sebring this year we had to tell them what the class weight was, but at Lime rock, CVR was well aware of the rules and class spec.

That's an accurate observation, Steve. At last year's WGI club race the 951 SP3 winning car was very obviously illegal. I think the car was either 1st or 2nd overall and blew away Karl Poetl's "F" 944S2. '07 was the first year for the class and I believe none of the scruts were too familiar with the SP class rules and there wasn't a dyno at the race anyway. That same car showed up at Sebring in February and Ken did lodge a protest concerning the car. The answer he got was the driver (don't remember his name) was a former IMSA racer and the car [I]was[I] legal. Again, there wasn't a dyno, so who knows?

Bri,
I dunno. At this year's LRP club race, a legal (as far as I know) SP3 car did a 1:00 lap. So in the hands of a gifted driver perhaps the cars can hang with GT3's? All I know is there were some pretty good drivers at both the WGI and Sebring races, and that car just flew bye them.

Jupe, as to your comment about never going thru lightbulb two wide, I have to say that I made two if not three outside passes up there, but: they were in early practice sessions when the track was probably still clean, and perhaps my victims didn't yet know the circuit so well.

Yes, I was talking about the outside at the end of the turn. It was covered with marbles and it was all I could do to stay on track when I hit out there attempting an outside pass in the enduro. Earlier in the enduro a GT3 Cup was trying to pass me on the outside and spun multiple times when he hit that section.
As for the best line through there... Sometimes shorter is faster...

mylaps has the results
I finished 3rd in the White Enduro. Not bad for the 260hp 964 with the big GT3 Cups and GT cars. Kind of like the tortoise in the Tortoise and the Hare. Sure and steady wins, or in this case, gets on the overall podium. (It also helps that 1/2 the field DNF'd!!)
