Request P1 BOP Comments and Line F Proposed Changes
#27639 from Jim Devenport · Not recommended · Minutes (2019-12 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The Club Racing Board does not recommend these changes. Although Balance
of Performance (BoP) adjustments are used to allow different platforms to race together in the same
class, the criterion for a BoP adjustment is limited to a car's rate of acceleration in a speed range before
aerodynamic drag has a significant effect -- typically between 60 and 100 mph. BoP adjustments are not
used to equalize lap time performance or ensure overall competitiveness, and the Club Racing Board
does not adjust minimum weight or power to allow for differing aerodynamic configurations, brake
systems, or chassis setups. Data obtained during the National Championship Runoffs shows that the CN
car's rate of acceleration was fully in line with and not at any disadvantage to the other platforms'

performance, so adjustments to the car's minimum weight and power are not warranted.
