STG,
As the electric ass wipers are a "track only" option, they cannot be used in this event.
(Please note: They are very expensive as they are part of our optional data logging and telemetry equipment. They can be activated manually by the race engineer if certain "G" loadings are exceeded. Or the system can be programmed to activate them automatically by biosensor readings of galvanic changes or elevated gas levels.) Please call for details on this option.
Scott,
I do agree about the wheel size problem. But I do not know what to do about it. I picked the Hoosier tires as a way to equalize tires by type. Street tires are all over the place as far as traction etc.
Maybe the thing to do is to run the cars on their standard street wheels and tires for 5-10 laps. Then change to whatever rims are standard options offered by the manufacturers. These will be fitted with Hoosier DOT tires (same compounds on all cars) and run another 5-10 laps.
Either way is OK with me.
