What's up with those wings. Someone told me "all the guys in Ohio were running a big wing" He wasn't kidding!
If you think the wings are big on those GTS2 cars wait until you see the wings on our GTS1 cars.

Yep there were very few GTS class cars not running big aero at the race. I'll be at Nationals for work and can't wait to watch the GTS race. Going to be some serious competition in 2,3 and 4.

THe specifics of the penalty are between GTS and the driver, if you remove the consequences, the more serious incident was in madness as it was blatant avoidable contact.

Watch it and be careful out there folks!

GTS1 too. In the July Saturday race the first 6 cars finished within 3 seconds of each other.

The other driver is not a rookie just running the ""R". I am currently working on getting the car ready for Nationals. The fender and bumper cover are on order from a Heavenly in CA. There is some bend metal under the body work that will need straightened, The radiator was pushed back a little. Everything in the front end will have to be checked out. Do yyou think I will need a front end alignment??? lol

Mike,
Considering you go some "air" I would check the follwoing items to be safe.
Front shock rods for straightness
Front Sway Mounts - may have pulled out
Suspension Bushings
Front Wheel bearings
Overall Nut & Bolt

Glad to see she's coming back together. Stuff happens, move on.
