Glen:
Have you seen the rules pertaining to the Supercups in GT2 yet? I would be interested in reading them. I do know that a fuel cell is required. Previuosly,these cars were eligible in regional classes. Rules for the regional classes SPO, P1, etc., aren't as specific as the National GT rules. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Gentlemen, I was just made privy to an email from an SCCA bigdog sent to Alwin Springer, Jeff Stone and some others that the cars will be eligible for GT2. They are working on a fuel filler neck change that may allow us to run without the fuel cell change also. I have asked that guy to post here so hopefully he will soon with additional details. We looked on the SCCA results and the fastest lap in GT2 at TWS on the 2.9 course was about a 1:50 which is the same area as a well driven Cup runs....so it looks like we have now 4 places to race our cars. HSR. PCA Club, PCA Cup Challenge and SCCA. I know Grand Am is out there for those that want to make a few more changes to the cars. Karl sorry I dont have much SCCA knowledge either but I will have a guy who does post here soon.

But no need for you to apologize, Glenn. Your quick wit more than makes up for tendency to be fast.
"Out front", oh yeah, I know what that is... Haven't been there. Haven't done that.

Technically you are "out front" right before the leaders pass you, right??

"Technically you are "out front" right before the leaders pass you, right??"
Absolutely.
Which is why I love enduros. Common wisdom is to pit as soon as a full-course yellow comes out.
Not me.
If I play my cards right, it is my opportunity to lead for a few laps. Plus those flashing lights on the pace car can be mesmerizing.
However, I find my vision is affected when the lights go out. I see nothing but colorful blurs going by when they turn them off. Including a certain black one.
