I must say that I am impressed at the large TT turnout that NARRA gets in the NE. They do run an excellent event and $100 cheaper than a NASA NE event, with significantly better contingency, certainly helps.

big track, lots of straights so it should be fine. I thought they would cap at 45 or so (~10 cars per mile). NASA runs 50+ cars at Mid-Ohio and things work out well (for 2 laps).

That's weird. They're usually $100 more down here. What are the normal fees for each organization?

NASA NE is $540 for a TT weekend, regardless of the track. And there is generally no BBQ. $695 for 3 days! Almost makes me want to instruct but events are already busy enough.
NARRA is $445.

The price is absurd given that a Porsche Club event at the NJMP is $300 for 2 days and NASA is $540. I guess the market can bear it to some degree, but it makes it hard to compete for DE'ers (or get them to come back).

I'm having tpms issues if anyone can help me out tomorrow am it would be most appreciated! I've tried everything I could search and had access to. I'm bringing my street wheel as extra sensors. I couldn't get them to pair with the tool or with the fob method.
