For me, at least, it took a few events to get my mind around the fact that these tires grip like mad. I found that I overbraked WAY too much.
I can't speak for everyone, but I am not one to cry 'foul'. I just want to compete, and have fun. It is a 'Pro' class. Pretty much anything goes. I am going to be in GS trim, but don't expect everyone will be.
Nope but as you said.. we should have an advantage as we have the experience.
BTW as for can of worms.. someone with a blower and a LSD has a bigger advantage that we ever will with race tires.
You have to understand.. allowing race tires allows those of us who compete in the GS for SCCA or one of the NASA classes to come and compete at the level we are accostomed to. I think we're in general more out to beat each other than the guy with H&K's and LSD's. We're basically equal so that we know it's driving skill and not some gimmicky mod that we've done that gives us the advantage.
Personally I don't think we'll have the fastest times. But for us, whoever wins the class will probably have the most prestige.
