VIR Full w/ NASA Feb 23rd and 24th... who's going?

My father and I are signed up in HPDE 2 and HPDE 3, we'll be "breaking in" the Panoz

Anyone else going to be there?

Started getting her ready... a few things to do:
1. Nut/bolt the car
2. Setup paramaters for PI digital dash and replace wheel speed sensor
3. Install untrashield seats and new harnesses
4. Fluid swap

Hmmm... can this Panoz eventually qualify for ST2? It's tube frame just like the FFR cobra.

I duuno. They allowed the Mazda RX7 tube frame cars into the class. Email Greg Greenbaum over on the NASA Forums about getting them in some NASA class.

Panoz GTS right?

already is, with the following modification: "Panoz GTS (-0.2 modification factor)"

this means you can run the panoz but with an 8.9 weight/power instead of 8.7

plus whatever modifier you have to put in their for the light weight and such.

^ No GTS is the full on GT2 race car, this is a GTRA, smaller motor, konis vs. penskis.

I registerd on NASA forums and have posted. Maybe jump into some racing later this year.

well, motor and shocks dont matter as they are free in super touring. If the chassis are the same, i'd assume its good to go.
