Not that it matters, this thing won't be tied at the end.

Here check it out... Class points are only based on entries in the class. In class were up 15 points. Overall points we are tied right now, in the event of a tie it defaults to who has the most class points. Which is us... hence the reason even with the tie in Overall points we are listed as 1st.

But like you said it doesn't matter because tomorrow all that will change

I'm blind (and stupid). I loaded up the class points page, but then just looked to the right at the O/A number. They should have the class number there! I'm with you now.

Update: We again took 1st place in this mornings session at Hallet. This time by about 5 seconds. The GTR moved ended up taking third with the Z06 squeezing between us. This now puts us 10points up in the overall.

Maybe temporarily, but unless one of you guys can launch and shift like crazy, that GT-R is going to win the drag race. Might have to hold off on that until Tuesday.

Here are a few pictures from Mid America. I don't have any from Hallett yet, but I will get them up ASAP.

The guys are doing great, car is running awesome! The drag race should be very interesting. That GTR should do really well in the bracket race....I hear they are pretty easy to run down the 1/4 mile.

The dragrace will be interesting for sure, the bracket race is for sure gonna be pretty tough.

We do have 9 events after that remember, so even if they pull a lead we still have a long road in front of us.

From the Road America video, and removing the chicane on the back straight (standard Road America configuration) Leh ran a couple of 2:24 on street tires.

Put Hoosier R6 on that GT2 and it would run sub 2:20s, faster than the top qualifier in the T1 class at the SCCA run-off last year.

Fast GT2, but even faster driver! Leh is one of my favorites! Nice job.

Plus he has pretty limited seat time there. Give him a few laps to get warmed up to it, and I'm betting he could drop a little more time.

And imagine what he could do if there had been a panini-maker in the pits with something cookin...

Oh without a doubt, you guys are thrashing everyone on the road course. The Wet Skid Pad, Drag Races and even Dry Skid Pad plus a few wet courses have been what have made AWD the champion for the last 7-8 years or so. I was just saying that you might have to hold off on running away with it until Tomorrow because it will be very hard to beat that GT-R in a drag race.

As long as the car stays healthy and you guys keep it on the track, you're golden.

Leh is awesome! We are very happy to have him as part of the team.

Here are some new pictures from today at Hallett.

Clever !!!

Remember, remove all the compression from the rear shocks, and leave some rebound. Good Luck!
