The rules for the shootout are being finalized. Right now it looks like we will have a unlimited class and a street class to keep things fair for all vendors.

I am really looking forward to this event, both as a competitor (In the AMS car) and handling the HPDE portion through SeatTime.
This is going to be a great Event.
