[National Event] Open Track Challenge

[MistressMotorsports]

Don't be insulted. There is not a single Cobra on this board or anywhere that can run with the cars in the Unlimited 1 class. You basically need to have an ALMS spec car like a C5R to run up front. We're talking serious, not street legal, carbon fiber, wings, slicks, etc. stuff. I had been planning to enter one of a couple possible Vettes in this race, but now that Cobras have a shot at their class title, I may need to think about running my own car. Even with the reclass, there are some pretty serious pony cars running around Socal. It's no given a Cobra can win that class either. This is all road course stuff, no drags, no autocrossing. For comparison, we figure U1 will need to run about 1:22 at Willow Springs and also run 6 other courses without breaking to win. Pony Car classes will also need to run sub-1:30 at Willow. How many of us can do that and stay reliable enough to run 7 days in a row?
