* - The reverse grid is being used in an effort to maximize competition giving the slower drivers the advantage and having the fast guys work through the field and keep the racing tighter for a longer period of time. This will also go a long way towards increasing the likely hood of all drivers finishing in the allotted post race completion time. If we can keep everyone within three minuets of the race leader it would make organizing the official results much easier should this event spill out into a multiple room layout. I know it is an odd request but I do ask that drivers put in a legitimate qualifying effort. With the recent bug fixes to the live timing monitor there is no reason this can not be pulled off. The penalties listed are there as an added incentive but still real.
** - Duplicate cars are limited by the number of different numbers they carry, for example the RX-7 has a different number with each different color (However Blue 202 car and any other three digit iteration are not eligible) so there are at least five eligible RX-7 LM's, the Team Oreca Viper has two different number cars so the viper is limited to two, The Ford GT LM has three different variations The Camaro LM has four variations but only one number so the entry of those cars is limited to one. To prevent overwhelming with RM, TC and Stealth cars with personalized numbers are limited to four and can not bare a number found on a non personalizable car.

Reversing the grid in order to keep the group tight will work for the first few laps, but I don't think it will help much after 200 miles.

Yeah, the fast guys are eventually going to find their way to the front.

That is the point. The fast guys will make it to the front, but the reverse grid will slow down the spreading of the field. Long races get very boring when you are running all by your self after the first lap. Making it take longer for the fast guys to get away changes a lot in the demeanor of drivers, especially drivers like me who are middle of the road kind of guys.

As I said yesterday, i'll pass on Laguna.
