And thanks also to bith8791, I appreciate the kudos. But take a good look at it now, because you never know what's around the corner (sometimes literally) in a racecar!
Sure, but you still won. Heavy wheels and ballasting disadvantage says even more.

One way to look at it is slightly heavier wheels are less of a disadvantage in the rain. The Z actually handles pretty well in the rain for a RWD car, but the AWD cars like the Audi A4 3.0T and Acura TL AWD (prepped by the Honda of America team) would have walked me if they had entered the ARRC. Thanks again!
