    I think - no, I know - the fastest drivers won.

    Delete this thread, not worth it... The topic title might be rude but I am curiose in all classes who was near the front with a "heavy" car. I am wondering how much weight really matters... Does 50LBS or 100Lbs really do anything?

    Raymond "maybe a better question would be would 50LBS on all the winners changed anything or was it all driver and car prep that won the race?" Blethen

    Is there a thread on this forum or somewhere with some ARRC info? Interested in how ITS shook out.

    Thanks,
    Ron

    HI Ron,
    ITS winner "Huffmaster" battled it out with the ITR winner "Kip" for the overall win....both were really smooth and fast. Incredible times...1:37.8 or so in morning qualifing.....ITS... Huffmaster RX-7 had wow corner speed...I checked for some type of ground sucking device in impound for Pro-It to no avail. Great drivers in well prepared cars. The rest of us ITS drivers were battling for 2nd, close battle, I fell out of the race when right rear lug nutz become loose:eek:..... and the wobble was too bad to continue.... Great weekend super weather, learned a few things to try next year, will really bump up the tire budget, but should be worth a second or two.....Dang tires gotta be way worse then crack or meth......Ouch....

    You guys gotta come down to R.A. sometime.....maybe swap cars for a session...

    Man, that is bad news on your wheel lug. If you were running for second you were doing just fine. Who else was in the top five or so?

    We've got to get down to RA for 2010. It is on the list of things to do. This year was a bad year for the TR8 as we had a lot of issues to fight. But, we should be good to go for 2010 and it'd be great if you wanted to peddle my Z around and see how it does at RA. I have a new motor now I've not used in a race yet so I'm itching to try it out.

    Wow on the 1:37s. I've not run RA but I understand that is a heck of a time there. Is that an ITS record?

    Sorry I missed the race David. I wondered what put you out. That ITS time by Huffmaster is insane. It was indeed a record by a bunch. Sounds like they found something......Where was Matt's BMW?

    Yeah a record by bout second and a half...... Insane, not really....extremely well driven car, well prepped, with much softer tires then I thought possible for road course use,,,,,,, Track had a few changes "paving" last year or so, to be a little quicker I've heard. I thought R6s were crack.....what do you cal A6s....?? Really wish I had stuffed my ears with bees wax, to avoid hearing the tale of the A6 magic grip....The Sirens are singing, driving me crazy now!!!!!!!! Argghh...Tie me to the mast as we pass by this island please!!!!!!! Hopefully this crazy urge will pass by spring time.....
    Matt was flying on thursday practice day, looking smooth.....Blew a head gasket to the point of blowing water out the tail pipe......
