This is partially true...But by deleting BusStop, it really challenges the brake systems...and we have the gear to late brake just about anything at the end of the back straight

hehehe.... All I know is, I late braked 2 C6 vette's, a c5 Z06, a porsche cayman S, and a GTR that walked away from me.

At any rate, it's a fun config. Implementing Dog Leg gives your tires a brief second to cool down on the open straight....Come on guys, even this old, slow, non aero, AP1 was able to dice it up with vette's out there on a "HP favoring" config.

Corrected

You run r-comps, we run shitty street tires

Deleting busstop creates the single longest straight on the track... unless you delete magic mountain/lost hill/phil hill

Hey guys, I am sorry but I guess the decision has already been made and it is too late to change the configuration. So it will remain 13CW.

How do you guys feel about some adjustments to the rules being made? **For next year**

I was thinking of changing the rules on wheels allowed in the TT class by allowing up to 17x10" wheels with 255/40's.

In this way a set of 9.5"+ wheels will not throw a non-aero car right into Super Mod.

Also, from what I've heard, running a HFC without a tune is not good for the engine and HFC's are currently allowed in TT, but a FlashPro/tune is not...

Would those of you running FlashPro like to stay in TT? It would make for less temptation to run a HFC without a tune and hurt your engine is what I'm thinking.

I have also been thinking of the R-comp rules as well...I don't want to leave those guys out because of their tire choice.

Mid year rule-changes are a no-no. It'll make people unhappy. Better to address the deficiencies and note them, but make the changes before the next season starts, or announce the changes and make them applicable to the next season.
