      Lynn Proctor has been doing the Viper Nation proud. He competes in the GTS class.

      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.

      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..
