Great writeup Nam!
Seems like the guys on rcomps usually fare better at CVR. Of course, I've only been there when it was hot. Btw, you've got me thinking about doing the rcomp setup again.
Anybody know how many points my apr bumper is? .25 or .50?

Like I told Chris, the R-comps are only worth their 1.75 point penalty when the track is extremely hot. A good example was at CVR last year where temps were in the 100's and the sun was further heating up the black track. We ran CVR at the absolute hottest time of the year. For this upcoming event at CVR, it will be a gamble. It really depends on how hot it will get, as it may be still cool in March.
The APR bumper is 0.25 points, but it must be used without splitter, canards or wheel spats. Otherwise it is 0.5 points.

Also, the setup should also work well at tracks that reward pure mechanical grip and rely little on aerodynamics. ACS and SOWS would be good examples. Hopefully next year's Spec class will eliminate custom tailored setups for varying tracks and weather conditions.
