Indeed they did, but here's the thing... Roger Penske's not a moron, and he knows that (most of) those guys aren't in charge anymore.
The 2009 BoP was an unnecessary knee-jerk reaction. While IMSA's BoP efforts have not been perfect since the merger, they've mostly only been applied when an actual discrepancy is present.
Even then, the whole debacle may have been forgivable if the BoP had been rolled back after the subsequent race.
Penske will be well aware of all this, as well as one thing that's often forgotten about the '09 BoP debacle; Penske was able to remain fairly competitive throughout it. They were the only Porsche powered DP team to do so, showing the strength of his organization. That'll give some confidence that they can overcome IMSA's BoP.
