I can't imagine the opportunity cost of closing the Glen for most of the season.
Great to know you will have vehicle/setup/driving support from a former Driver of the car. That would have been a critical component to me. I would be completely lost otherwise and I am not a fan of circulating around 20 seconds slower than the capabilities of the car when setup and driven properly.
Have a great time with it!!

Neat! I designed your shocks. Is that a spare that isn't going to the Action Express team?

That should be Coyote chassis #001, which was run from Daytona up till Watkins Glen, when they ran a newer chassis for the rest of the season.
