Thanks for the reply. Curious why you say rear tires were key to this race? Sorry for so many questions....I’m always trying to learn. Thanks again.
Sonoma's pavement is worn out. It needs a repave badly. Turns 4, 7 and 11, all tight, and very low speed, (50mph and below) corners which where very slippery. New tires for a few laps was fine. Also lots of cornering while on throttle, ( turn12, 1, 5, the esses) That puts a lot of energy into the tires. And on a big heavy, under-tired car was not a good mix. If we had run the Indycar/PWC layout, things may have been a little better as that pavement, and the traction areas were not as worn out as the "standard layout" places.
