That's the thing with the multi events. You don't have much time to figure out the course, let alone memorize it. Road racing is repetition and once you find the lines and set up, you can shave some serious time. Not taking anything away from him, just stating the facts.

All true points. And my comment about RTTC was not very serious.

Yeah it's a dry sump 387 making "only" about 600 crank hp.

He's got it in the sweet spot because it's motivating that car plenty. I bet it's in that 3100-3250 range.

Fiberglass front end and doors. No side glass and lexan. I think he said 3100.

thats what makes auto x fun, you don't usually get enough runs to memorize the layout. It mostly comes to driver instinct and setting up the car right. You can only get so much walking a course...unless your a Pozzi.
