What length is the chassis, what tires do you run and could you paint me a body like that , maybe in two shades of blue with BLUE DIAMOND on the side.

I guess I have to repeat a couple of things since I am getting questions.

ALL EXTRA MOTORS AND TIRES HAVE TO BE TECH'D IN AT TECH TIME.

Remember that in GTC you CANNOT TRIM GEARS. You must use production gears for the whole race but you do not have to tech them in ahead of time.

Cars will be tech'd during the race as posted and if anything is wrong, you will have to fix it when the race restarts.

If a pan falls off which in effect makes the car lighter and faster do you have to reattach it?

Do I have to use a guide flag and all four tires?

Do we have to actually race the car? Can we get the parts, put it together and stick it up on eBay?

Can I sell my entry to a faster driver that tried to enter after the deadline for big bucks$$$???

Is there a warranty on the car?

I would suggest anyone having questions also talk to their crew chiefs. That's why they are the crew chief because they have the knowledge of the track, etc.

However, I do not think they have the answers to Tony's questions.:laugh2:

I like Tony's idea of selling it eBay. Should be able to turn a profit, and then we don't have to buy all the extra tires, etc.:rolleyes:

On a more serious note, 6 hours is the equivalent of 15 mains. We'll be putting those motors to the test! And each driver will have run nearly four mains.
