ya gotta have a good team , that is for sure. and a good driver. but
it sounds like these cars take a bit of a learning curve for all, and
that's where I think they will be at a disadvantage for most if not
all of this season. top it off with having to run DP-01's at Long
Beach (and elsewhere?) and I think the CCWS teams are definitely at a
disadvantage. I think that overall this was a piss poor decision, but
what else could be done? as I said before, they should have been
working this issue at the end of last season and not NOW. I blame TG
for that as I think he did this on purpose when he saw how poor his
series was doing and that CCWS got a decent TV contract. I also
place some of the blame on KK as he should have thought of this
earlier, but CCWS looked pretty decent around the end of the year and
just needed a couple of minor changes to make it work.
