I don't think that anyone has forgotten about the Audi. They'll be there come race day.
But, the old 675 cars are qualifying specials, especially at a track like Road Atlanta. Actually, Champion only have one pole this year, which was at Lime Rock (I'm excluding Sebring as there was no official qualifying). In fact, Champion have been shut out from the front row three times (Mid Ohio, Portland and Mosport). But I also think it's fair to say that Champion have always focussed on having a great racecar come race day, which is backed up by their win record.
Oh, and I just looked, Weaver posted a 1:11.241 in the Spring Road Atlanta race on Michelins.
