Any Viper's out there want to try to qualify?

Here's the rules etc- http://www.optimabatteries.com/en-us/experience/optima-invitational/

The actual competition is on November 4 – 6 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, NV

You can qualify at any of these events before the actual compeition:

February 27 – 28 at Thunderhill Motorsports Park in Willows, CA
April 16 – 17 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, NV
May 21 – 22 at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ
June 11 – 12 at National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY
July 9 – 10 at Pikes Peak International Raceway in Fountain, CO
July 30 – 31 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, NC
August 6 – 7 at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX
August 27 – 28 at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI
September 17 – 18 at New Orleans Motorsports Park in New Orleans, LA
October 8 – 9 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA

I'm thinking about qualifying at that last one at Auto Club Speedway. Any other cali guys want to give it a try?

A C5 Vette has been dominating out there. They combine the points from 4 different things: A braking contest, a hot laps contest, an autocross as well as "design and engineering".

I'm sure a stock Gen 5 would do really well, a modded one could take it all with a good driver. I've never done an autocross so would have to brush up on those skills. lol..

What's the difference between GTS and GTL class? I see newer Vettes in both classes.

GTL are cars that has been lightened below 3200lbs, but must still be 95% of factory weight.
