Yeah. The group 5 situation is weird. I'd have no issues racing with the production guys. Wonder if they'll welcome racing against ITRs and STUs?


However it shakes out, racing is still racing.

I would think they may be happier than racing with SRF. A few comments have been made on the prod site's about that.

Hmmm, I guess I missed something... Is it really the pro course both days?
And if so, for what possible reason?
And how about lets not do that.

Dude, you're like two years too late...it was decided after the first event in 2007 - when, prior to that event, there was a large contingent asking to run the pro course instead - that it would alternate years.

See you next year, I hope...

Aaron,

Yes its Pro course both days. Also for the test and tune on Friday night. The reason was that the out of town ( long tow) folks desired a chance to run the "pro" course. So the Cincinnati Race Committee decided to start alternating the format. Odd years pro, Even years club. Nothing more than that.

One very good reason is the track is a better race track with the longer straight. In the club configuration, it's more of a lapping track.

Having that straight be that much longer facilitates passes set up out of turn 1. I know I had passes set up, and was 1/3 alongside cars on multiple occasions that couldn't be completed going into the chicane thing there a half dozen times. Having just 300 feet more track would have been sweet.

Since racing is what we're there to do, it makes sense to add a possible passing section.
