Default Add another Corvette to the NASA Nationals

I just did my first race and two more Time trials a Summit Point to meet the qualifications for Nationals. Add a tired (but light ) C4 to the TTB and PTB entry list. See ya in a few weeks!!

Matt,
you ought to get with the Corvette guys in VVC , they might be able to include you in their group to have a field and prevent the others from going PT or SU.........................

I was just about to call you and see if you would let me drive your car in an additional class in TT , just to make people mad..........Glad you got your events in, I know that was a pain in the a## for you.

How did you get stuck in TTB ?????? I may either run my second entry in TTB or TTD, we will see how that goes.

Thanks to all the well wishers and yes, I will try to fly the C4 flag proud Mark!

Hi Danny, that would have been cool to see you drive my car but now that I busted my a$$ to meet the requirements ole Nelly is going to be stuck with me behind the wheel. I actually signed up for PTB and TTB because in my imaginary world I was going to have time to add a spoiler, relocate the battery,revalve the shocks, cam, heads,etc........but reality is setting in and I will be lucky to bleed the brakes and put on fresh pads. Now that I know you may be running a B car that makes my decision easier and just change to C in both classes. I've pm'd James and I am still holding out for one of the PT groups-A-B-or C. I think I'll have a shot at one of those but VVC and 250hp won't cut it. If the other classes don't have enough entries then I will fill in with the VVC group so they can have a class. If I thought my car was reliable enough I would enter V1, PT, and TT.

Special thanks to Jesse for basically telling me to suck it up and find a way to make the event

Matt,
Really glad that you are doing your own thing, I would have lobbied for you to do that too , if I knew you had those intentions to run at Nationals. I was just thinking you are close to MO and it would be interesting............I'd rather have you run your own car and I think that it is cool that you took the initiative and got yourself qualified. If not it would have been my pleasure to take your "implement of destruction" out and wack on some of those weenie boys in their class....

Look forward to seeing you again and chatting in a few weeks
