26 PRO3 cars at Portland Int'l Raceway May 5-6

[Lance Racing]

A strong field of 26 PRO3 cars will be racing at Portland Int'l Raceway this weekend, May 5-6. Admission is free. The cars will be paddocked in the South area this time (not in the Pro pits) and you can enter through the Main Gate.

Of special note... R3V senior mafia James Crivellone and John Parker will be running their PRO3 cars in their first Novice race on Saturday. The Green Flag for the Novice Race drops at 4:30pm, good luck guys!

How is pro 3 different from SE30?

How is pro 3 different from SE30?

Main differences I know of between PRO3 and SpecE30:

PRO3:
Open suspension (remote reservoir shocks not allowed)
no spec Exhaust
minimum weight with driver 2,650lbs
Diff ratio choices and lock up % more liberal
Most of the cars are on Toyo RA1 225-50-15 or RA1 225-45-15 (small percentage still on 225-50-14)

I don't know the SpecE30 rules that closely. But these are some of the differences I am aware of.

The two types of cars are more similar than different actually. That being said, a SpecE30 can legally run in PRO3 I'm pretty sure, but a PRO3 would be over prep'd for SpecE30.

Yeah sounds like we'd get totally smoked in that class. Looks like fun though.

The upgrades equate to about 2-3 seconds per lap is my guess. We've seen a couple of SpecE30 cars purchased and brought into the area and converted to PRO3 specs. So we were able to see the difference in the lap times.

SpecE30 does allow for mods to front airdam Lance, and addition of splitters.
