You put race rubber & aftermarket suspension on your car when you don't have the horsepower or the skill to compete with the other racers out there.
Matt: I re-read your post and you have no idea what you're talking about... The TT division of NASA runs all classes of cars simultaneously... So when you watched me race with everything from GT3 Cup cars to whatever, we are all running on the track together at the same time, but we are not necessarily in the same class or competing against each other... If you had some experience, you should have realized that the 600 hp Corvette Z06's I was on the track with were not racing me... LOL They were passing me...
Before you start spouting off, you better understand what you're talking about...
There are multiple classes of cars that run at the same time, start at the same time, but obviously finish differently...
Let me give you an example... When you visited the Cal Speedway event, there were about 50 cars running in TT... But there were only about 10 in D class which is where the Crossfire is placed. Even though all 50 cars were on the track together at the same time. There is TTA through TTF and the cars are classed by very specific HP / WT ratios and modifications. The terrific part about running these types of events is that you are on the track with much faster and much slower cars and must really refine your skills to allow passing and pass...
So, if you can understand this slight brain challenge, you'll be OK !!! LOL In the meantime go to the NASA website and look up the rules for TT and you will have an epiphany. I'm actually the fastest Crossfire running road courses in the US as far as I know...
