Charles, congrats!
What configuration was that in? Can you give us any details on the setup? I'm thinking of running NT01s and wondered what it takes to make them work.

It's #13 CW.
I'm jealous as I was planning on doing some damage in the mod class with my street car. Looks like the track had very poor grip.
Charles, can you give an un-biased opinon on the tires vs. others you have run? Seems like all the mod guys are using those or toyos. I had actually purchased kumhos as they had a much lower treadwear, but that doesn't always mean they have more grip. It would be nice to know what the best tire is for next time around.

Welcome to the forum, Charles and congratulations on the win. Very nice looking lap there and very cool of Oli to let you drive.
The car looks mean in "high-downforce" configuration!

Nice lap, I looked at all the pics and then watched the video. I think I understand where the hole in the rocker came from. lol.
I've dealt with Emilio on a few occasions, nice guy, and I can't wait for him to release the Corvette wheels!
