Not sure where the hp/wt ratio is on this car but his lap time is within 1/2 second of the GTS3 record. I'd say that's more than pretty decent.

Hey Rob,
I am 270hp at the rear wheels and about 2,900 w/me in it. What class is that for NASA?

Bryan, very, very close to GTS3 - you could run there easily.

Slip into a set of R6s and make no other changes and yer there.

"no other changes" would be a GTS4 car, he'd need 70lbs of ballast to run in 3(not hard), or a small detune. It would be nice to see some SP996's in 3 and SPB's in 2.

Nah...

20hp over is nothing these days.

Not when I was the class director!

The ratio is 11:1 on any R-compound tire, so as Greg mentioned, just add some ballast/run heavy on fuel and you can get there. NASA is a fantastic group to run with and they have 6 events/year all within a 5 hour tow of MSR-C. Despite rumors to the contrary, contact is not an issue in the TX region.

Jay Matus, who has a NASA National Championship in GTS3, owns the track record somewhere around 1:19.3 if I remember right (give or take a tenth).

I'm with you 100%...this was a small dig on the as of yet unexplained extra 20 a certain Boxter had at Nats this year.

Ouch! I've been out of the loop and did not know about the DQ. 20 hp over the limit? No comment from Viking?

Didn't the PCA steward, Jon Crosby, tell us the points races were both sprints and not the enduro? Rennpoints is not reflecting this. I tend to wonder off mentally during meetings so I'm double checking.

You are correct, John did say both sprints were the points races. Think it is just listed wrong on Rennpoints.

He's not allowed to use his computer until my new-to-me turbo passes emissions.
