    Would they fit in the STU class for this region? I will run my car on the DOT 200tires to give the rest of you guys a chance. ..
    Where is the link? TIA, MM
    I would have to see how many of my drivers have the SCCA tag. I can think of 3 that do.
    I also have one of the orginal "12 hr at the point" cars, but it wont be ready by then. Plus it is set up with a welded dif right now. Not the thing to go 13hrs with. IMHO, MM

    We've had welded difs in all of our 12, 13 and 24 hour cars. They don't generate heat and have run multiple endurance events with no problems.

    Unless I get a really green renter, I'll run the spool in my Golf at the 13. It can't break.

    Chuck - yours were RWD, right ? If Mikey is talking about the ratty old "Round Rocco" (I've bought it and sold it twice...he's bought it and sold it two or three times, and there were others involved !), it's the problem with "FWD CV joints w/ a welded diff"...maybe not the best enduro choice.

    Mikey - you got the Scirocco back ?

    Same car, only now it is white. If Michael passes his Thermal class ,he may get a shot @ Sebring with it for Turkey trot. He went 249 with the rental car last time out.
    We have to get the two Chumps to run 14hrs each next week. Than on to other races.
    We could bring one of the Chumpers up to VIR,if either car makes it. You need to try one out, ..

    John,
    Yes my cars were RWD. I just remembered, the Acura I've been co-driving has a Quaif. Kirk says Pablo works with a spool (expensive but lighter version of a welded dif ) so perhaps there's another trick with the CV joints.
