I really should have talked to those guys more when I saw them at Sebring.

Not sure if it was the same drivers, but the cars were there the year before last, that I remember.

I definitely took a few pics of the Caddy's. Don't know where they are at the moment though. Awesome cars!

That was likely the 1st gen CTS-VR, as the new coupe CTS-V racecar didn't exist two years ago.

The first gen was quite successful, and great looking:

Are you laughing because you don't understand how race classing works? The CTS-V should blow by that Mustang - they race in completely different classes. The GT cars were 6-7sec per lap faster than the GTS cars at Mosport.

I imagine you're correct about the Mustang's wing - it's almost certainly the biggest wing possible in accordance with the rules. Much like the CTS-V's wing is almost certainly the biggest wing possible. lmao

Yeah, when you do Grand Am, Gran Touring, and those types of racing, you don't just race with your own class grouping, they throw ALL classes out there on the track at once. That's why you see some cars that are slower/faster.

I'm sure if the LMP cars were on the track, you'd see them blowing by the CTS's no problemo.

I'd like to see how they do against the the corvette teams. Corvette runs a car in two different series.

If you've ever watched the Le Mans series, and wondered why they have different colored headlights, it's so during night racing, when you see the color of another class of car coming up on your ***, you know to get the hell out of their way!

It's also for the corner worker and officials to keep track of the different classes.

Its easy to scoff at winged cars ... that is until you driven a ground effects car. They can do unbelievable things.

To me their footwork is the most amazing part of their skill. I wish they had a box with a view of the heal toe action going on.

Yeah, those guys are SLAVES out there on the track. And I think that working the Auto-X is hard

When I replaced the front end of my Miata with a Racing Beat one, it was a night and day difference.

Stock nose, it felt as if the car was going to flip end over end. Add a few holes and a lip, and it's glued to the ground.

I was at that race cheering them on. Not bad, Johnny O took 2nd place in the 1st race and 3rd in the 2nd race
