Drew,
Craig Stanton won at Thunderdust doing @ 1.26's. First timers at the track in street/track cars are only 6-11 seconds behind, often with less power in a DE format.
Now with you getting into a fully set up race car, the reduction in weight and more consistent group speed, I think you'll find yourself right in the mix. It's good there running the full circut as it provides lots of places to seperate yourself from the ST cars without forcing the issue. It's an induro so take 3 deep breaths, relax and get settled into a rythem. You should have spoters to narrate you through your stints, which should help keep you grounded.
Looks like there will not be any TV coverage with Petit LeMans going on so try to get some video if possible. We will be following from hopefully live timing on line.
Kick Ass and drive well.
