I think It's called Grand Touring.

My tech speed is 140 and target speed is 125. Due to my lack of experience, they won't allow me to achieve the potential of my car and I respect them for looking out for me.

I believe I have the safety equipment to do 168.

The other thing is, in fifth, I'm bumping the rev limiter at 170 due to my 4:10's...

I know this from the texas mile.

So it's probably a good thing.

I don't know if sixth is up to it.

I have had a lot of fun getting the trailer ready.

I feel sure Ted will be there in his Z. Probably several others too. I believe you are correct about class: 125 is in Grand Touring. And I think the 145 tech is correct, too. 4.10 gears are just fine in that class with that tech speed. I ran Super Sport one year with 4.10 gears 160 class and 180 tech. Not the correct gears for that speed. I ran 180 in 5th but I was turning lots of rpms. Just make sure you have very good tires and you should be OK. The rules have changed since I started ORR racing. My first time in 1999, I ran in Grand Sport 145 class, 160 tech. Next time you can move up some in class. However, 145 and 150 classes at BBORR at the Spring race are a fairly interesting classes (hard). Remember, the course record is only about 169. 130 up to 140 are more fun without have to try so hard. Tech for Grand Sport is now 165 I believe. Have fun and drive safe.

That's what I meant, I should have been more clear in my post. I was hoping you'd pop into this post Curtis.
