It's amazing how fast the rgualrs are getting in their $500 cars.. The last race in Houston (Feb 25-26 ish) was running 1:56 lap times. That's decently quick for in IT car standards. (ITS lap record is 1:51 there) and they're doing it for 7 hours at a time.
Then there's the 1951 Mercedes battlewagon out there cruising at 40mph you have to dodge mid-corner. and it's as wide as the entire corner!
The first year, the "racing" was pretty atrocious since probably 80% of the people had never run W2W. ever.
3 years later, many of these guys have more seat time in heavy traffic than the average club racer.
And yeah.. don't even think about going off or spinning if you plan to win. I was goign around the carousel at the last race and was driving around some slow traffic. got my tires in the marbles (more like shrapnel from exploded cars) and drifted wide. I took the corner in the grass, never had to slow past about 40, and got back on. no big deal right?
It cost us about 40 min in the pits and about 6-8 places overall. not to mention someone made me eat some of the clover I had collected in the grill. man that's some bitter ish!
