The 1600 runs in what, EP or FP? I saw some DP cars out there. Do they lump a bunch of you together?

Yes I am in FP and they run GP, FP, EP and DP in the same run group.

That must be a lot of fun having that variety of cars on the track at the same time.

The run Groups spread out pretty quick. It might be 30+ cars at the start but with several Classes in each Group, by the end of Lap 1 it's pretty much Class vs Class. Great thing about that is if you're a fast EP driver, you can dice with the DP cars, etc...
