Default NASA TT at Road Atlanta in March

Looks like there are only 5 spots left in Time Trial at Road Atlanta next month already. Instructor is already closed out. I am hoping the tornadoes stay home this year.

Who is going to make the event?

guess I should decide...

If we run TTA this event (jury still out on the FRC motor) we will be on one event RA1s - I expect to get smoked but the CMC car needs new tires much worse.

What if any was the diagnosis and have you figured out a way to blame Jake for it?

I can ALWAYS blame Jake - failing that I will blame my wife....when I come out of my coma the problem will no longer be relevant.

I think it may be a lifter making the noise - it is intermittent now and quiet when warmed up. Of course bearings have been known to do that also...

I gotta find you guys. None of the "On the hill gang" that I hang out with is comming from VA.
I need to figure out if its worth it to try this TT stuff with my stock 92.
I'll be there Friday for the instructor clinic, gonna figure out if that is something I want to do as well.

Well I have 3 choices for tires:
Stock 275 sumito on 17x9.5 rims (stock street)
275/315 front rear V700
315 on 17x11 old v710's
I'll search you guys out on Friday cause I'll need to change from the streets to the v710 set. Got to wear them out before I can buy a new set

The split paddock and grid makes it tough for Teams both TTing and W2W racing at Road Atlanta. My guess Jake will just have to make the long drive to the pro side every time since I will be on grid so much for TT.
