Interesting how many yellow flags will fly on the Pro course at T2.

One car in the pea gravel.:scratchchin:

I would argue that no local is winning anyway! :banana:  Run whatever course you want and several of us out of towners plan on kicking your asses  regardless of the configuration :)

 SCCA majors has run the club course and will likely continue to do so, the  Runoffs has always been the Pro course and will likely continue as such. If anyone can't learn the pro or club course in one test day, they are a non factor anyway.   It's Friday.. what can I say :)

Your greatest threat is having Stearn's knock us off the track, after that bring your brown bag lunch.  :tipsy:

 

DO not disagree with the learning curve, its not learning COTA we are talking one corner. I am suggesting with the crowd we will have all year, start on the back run the pro course.

See the title of the thread.......    My  comments about running a certain configuration refers to Indy.  Frank, If you have 1000 laps at Indy, I would be surprised.

Yes indeed it was 2003 when the Pro course was first used for the Runoffs. :bigsquaregrin:

I believe they said that the Runoffs configuration will not be used by anyone until the Runoffs so that everyone will have the same opportunity of learning the course.  Otherwise it would give an advantage to the local racers.  Don't take this to the bank, as I am not 100% on this.  The actual map will be released shortly.

I am talking Indy, not MidO here.

If that is the case, that is a great idea.

Don't get me wrong on my comment.

I think it's awesome that SCCA can race on these hollowed grounds.

I can only assume it cost quite bit to use the facility and you guys need to recoup.
