Easily a recordbreaking event for the SP classes.

The count does go down for the enduro some.

That's a great idea. Could you mention that to PCA officials. What's the point of throwing in a handful letter cars anyway, their such an annoyance.

I think they use a 65.3% factor so if 60 944's start they plan on 39 to be available for the Enduro...

Is Full Contact Blocking legal for the Spec Classes? That may help explain the 65.3% factor.

Cup Daddy

As a letter car drover, I find this unnecessarily hurtful.

You don't hear any of the letter car drivers borrowing a term from our esteemed federal government, and referring to the Watkins Glen SPEC 1-2-3 race as "The Clash For Clunkers" Program.

No sirree! That wouldn't be in the spirit of gentlemanly competition that PCA CR espouses.

Pretty funny Mike. No, the enduro is not a Cup points race for the North Chapter, so not all SP cars will register for Sunday, save some money and get home early.

Me too!

Seriously. (>> But only this once)

That was all feigned "hurt".

Actually I thought "The Clash for Clunkers" Program was pretty good trash talking

Mike,

I look forward to the Enduro so I can harrass a bunch of "Letter Car Drovers" with my "Oil Dripping, H2O Spitting, Spec-Tron" utilizing my "Mr Momentun" Skilz for 85 minutes or more.
