Last-minute change, I'm warming Matt Grainger's tires at the Toledo Tour this weekend, #23 DS. I get to be part of the first proof that the SRT4 is indeed the fastest car ever when Daddio beats me by multiple seconds. At least now multiple seconds might not mean I'm definitely out of the trophies like it would have in DSP.

Maybe he'll cone trying to roll the rear windows down by hand.

Rich, who knows he can hang with Matt but knows hanging is only really relevant at a lynching or while decorating for the holidays

 

I'm starting to think you all have me blocked.

 

Give us free car parts and you'll get more attention.

Good luck in Toledo, I had planned on running all winter but I decided not to when my school bumped tuition up another 10% for the fall, so its better to save the money. I'll just be chilling at the SVRA vintage races at Mid-Ohio on Sunday, getting to see the GTP cars that got me into racing in the first place as a 5 year old.

 

With 75+ whp advantage and Daddio at the wheel, you gotta wonder what can beat this combo.
In any case, I will be there with my ITR and hopefully give the Acuras a good showing.

 

There's also a 400 lb advantage and suspension geometry advantage working for us, as well as lots of develoment time. There's no stopping the Alien though. At least we can give Per a good fight. I'm more worried about the 330's. GH Sharp beat my co-driver and bfitz by .040 and .100 respectively at the Pro. Hopefully an NT course can be exploited better by an ITR, but I doubt it. Can't count out the Talon either.

The BMW was getting the holeshot on the ITR and it was a power course at the Pro, so I don't think the DS ITR, with a good driver, will have a problem dispatching the DS BMWs at a tour.

Just IMO.

 

I hope you're right. Everybody's telling me I'll be fine but I always self-deprecate a lot before I go to a big event so I don't have anyone rubbing my nose in it afterwards. So, I predict 12th of 25 for Matt Grainger, and 25th of 25 for me. Somehow, Daddio will manage to take 1st thru 11th.
