I sent in a letter with it saying basically "sorry didn't see any instructions or any place to pay if there was a fee for this, please contact if so". Never heard back on anything, but a card showed up 2 weeks later.

I dunno.

Yes the event is the 10-11th. Hope that some of the attendees give us a detailed report on the track, surface, runoff areas, pits, etc.

As far as the hardcard for instructors, I have one also. Mid Atlantic is enforcing it. I will be down at NCCAR instructing as well. We will be roughing it at the track with the camper.

PS, Wally, Nancy has requested you as her instructor.

Seems odd there is no place on that form for your NASA membership #?

If I were NASA, I'd issue a card based on all of your qualifications: One card for just being a member, i.e. DE's etc. An endorsement for instructors. And another endorsement for racers.

This would be just like just like a driver's license.

The way it is now, I have to show 2 cards sometimes to register at an event.

You should also have to show your weekend pass from the funny farm! Where were you last weekend, Buttmunch? It was my birthday and you didn't even show up with my present!!! I am severly depressed now.

I had some stuff I had to take care of here at the Big Pine Key Mobile Home and Adult Theme Park. The Mustache Ride was colgged up, and the stalls needed cleaning with disinfectant.

Hell, Wally & Ross got all that aero installed and set the track on fire, so no one else had a chance in ST2. Glad I saved my money.

BTW, I got you a present for your birthday. I'll give it to you at the next event.

Here is the latest

I suppose apex markers will be pylons as well, in place of curbing at this point.

This looks like it is coming together nicely. Still no metion of fuel. Better plan on brining your own high octane stuff just to be safe. 93 will be radily available down the street.

For those of your going to NCCAR this weekend, here are two videos of the track, one from a Formula Ford and another from an MX-5 (Miata) taken by Stan Vann (a local auto-xer and hillclimber) during his track testing sessions:

Caldwell FF

Miata

Please keep in mind that NCCAR was built for testing a single car at a time, not racing, so don't be too bold this coming weekend!
