My buddy, and his daughter, run their car in two classes when they go racing. He runs Pro, and she runs Super Pro. The car is setup simple for seat adjustment, and removal of the delay box for driver swaps. Over Memorial Day Weekend, they put a total of 51 passes on the car. She won Super Pro on Saturday, and he made it to the Semi Finals on Sunday.

I have to give a big shout out to Dwayne Porter, as this combo went from a set of cracked/ leaking set of INDY EZ heads, to a Porter Racing Heads prepped set of INDY SR 295CNC heads. The car picked up 2/10's, and a couple MPH, with nothing else changed.

51 that is impressive!
I would like to try the multiple class thing at the right event. My car is ready for another pass quickly, even faster if I leave the hood off. I suppose trans temp would be my enemy in a hot lap situation, but no gauge no problem right? lol

Wow, that's a bunch of runs and they're clearly very good at what they do!
I think I've made 9 or 10 passes in one night.

I'm confused about the logistics of this....doesn't add up in my head. 2 time runs apiece for 3 days is 12 runs (I'm assuming 3 day race, since it was not specified), then they would have to go more than 6 rounds EACH every day....how many folks are that good/lucky? Yep, I'm with you. I usually get in one class. So, on a good day, with two time trials, I may get in 3 runs. LOL! You guys that are getting double digit runs are way too professional. (not to mention the entry fees involved?) Again, LOL !!!!!!
