Yes, just like road rally stages they will be closed public roads.
I plan on running the soft autocross compound Hoosier A6 tires on the '73, they should be great.
I think loosening the swaybars fully might help too. I once drove a 911T on a really tight curvy bumpy uphill road and it was AWESOME with no sway bars. I just remembered that road, near the old F-Loles shop, I should drive my '73 over there and try it out for some testing. Also a road in Redding, Gallows Hill road? where Mary Travers lived would be good for testing, not far from my house.
The GT3 cup will be tougher as I can't test it on public roads and it's a beast.

Based on their web building skills, I wouldn't be sure of anything that they promise...multiple 8-9 MP images on the front page of a website built with GoDaddy's instant website tools.
Setting up the logistics of filming a TV show involving racing cars on public streets for 10 events in 10 states, and the prizes listed below, but they don't have $1000-1500 to throw at a basic website?
First Prize - a Ferrari F430, approximate worth $250,000
Second Prize - a Porsche 911 Turbo
Third Prize - a Corvette Z51 Convertible
Fourth Prize - your very own set of Steak Knives
Color me skeptical.

The prize list sounds more like a wish list. Any proof they have or will procure those to give away?

I am skeptical too but I have been to the 1st event and I can't see them spending all the money and time for professional TV people, car magazine people, and production just to make a few hundred thousand dollars on a scam. They need drivers to pay, to weed out people who are not serious and to pay for production costs etc. Maybe they can't pull it off but if they do it will be well worth the costs and it's a new way to have fun with my toys, that's the main thing for me. But if the events are not well run (don't get enough runs, too much hassle, etc) I will quit and cut my losses, my time is more valuable than any racing costs.
The $1000 application fee was returned if you were not selected.
The roads are listed as EXAMPLES, they won't run on those roads. They can't tell us the actual roads or we would practice on them and get both unfair preparation, and town officials pissed off.
I have a bunch of Elephant Racing parts on my '73 including their new shock package, I will give Chuck a call.
