What is the beef with fully bodied race cars? I can understand excluding open wheel cars, but we have had lots of sportsracer types run with the club before, both on big tracks and in the parking lot. We aren't talking about racing here, it's a controlled passing environment in both DE and TT. Closing speeds shouldn't be an issue. If a pass can't be completed safely in the designated zones, then the driver has to slow down and wait for the next one and a signal or be black-flagged-- no diving under the car in front for a corner, going around the outside in a sweeper, etc. I don't see what the problem is with speed differentials in that environment. Tracquest has run DEs for years on almost ever major track in the country with open passing in the fastest run group (with hand signals preferred, but not required), and a wide array of car types (sportracers and yes, even open-wheeled cars) without any major incidents.Jad wrote: I think only street style sports cars

Kary- by "major incident", I meant "no serious injury accidents or deaths". Can you agree with me now?kary wrote:. I run in the open passing group there and have not had issues myself. So go figure
