How many of you are coming to BeaveRun? Yea small track but a lot of fun. Going thru turn 9 flat out [ if you can will pucker your butt ]. And coming out of turn 10 in American Iron/AL torque is a hoot.

Flies Lo

You're right, Bus...Turn 9 can send the pucker factor right off the chart; I need a slight "confidence lift" just before turn-in there, just to settle the front end...then the moment the car turns in, it's foot to the floor and stick the apex...feels really good on the track-out to the braking zone for 10...

I won't be there, as I still am between cars...in the past I've only driven Porsches (a long story) at d' Beave, and wished for torque coming up the hill through 10 & 11 (just like climbing out of the toe-of-the-boot at Watkins Glen, huh?) ...I hope to remedy that soon though...

The best parts of BeaveRun are the blind apex in 7, the kink (9), and the climb through 10, 11 and 12 onto the front straight...the shortness of the track gets to me after a weekend, but hey, it's only 20 minutes from my house...

Rudy,
After your win at Mid Ohio in April I'm pretty sure some of the other ST2 guys, uh L98Terror, are afraid to make the trek.

I did see a couple of STR2 cars registered along with Davison in his Nascar truck too.

I got first place but I didn't win. Forbis was first and was about two gallons of gas under weight. My car and I could not beat Forbis if he was 100 lbs over weight. Forbis is a great guy. I felt bad for him. He has helped me out numerous time.

L98Terror

I'm working on coming, we'll see.

As for the Race, you were the highest finishing ST2 car, as nice of a guy Forbis is he was running in an ST1 car plain and simple, granted a very, very under powered ST1 car but a ST1 car none the least. The rules are pretty clear on that point.

Hope you can make it. Bring a extra set of brake pads. BeaveRun is a pad killer.

I may run ST2 since there is no one signed up in PTA...

Good. I think Rich Wilson is also coming.

The viper brother just registered both cars for ST1 and the twin turbo monster Faessler mustang for SU. Gonna be great watching all those high HP cars battle the beav.
Just a few spots left in the race groups.

Work keeps getting in the way for me.....Hopefully I'll see you guys in July at MidO. Bring home the gold Rudy!!

Thanks for the vote of support.

See if I ever stand around with a beer and watch you work on your car again - er...I mean help you fix your car again!

mrc24x

I'm rooting for you just to finish! That'll be a win for you.

Do you honestly think my 9.6lb/hp ST2 car can run with your C5 with my average at best driving ability. Thanks for the confidence.

Rudy, if we squeeze together when he laps us we can knock him out of the race.

Here ive been looking for a nearby road course and there's one right in PA haha wow. What does it cost to get in? I have a vert with a 5 point, Think they'd let me race?

Get on the NASA Great lakes Region website and sign up. You get on the track with a instructor. The most fun you can have with your clothes on.LOL

Hey Matt, thanks for the vote of confidence. Wish you could make it. Fly in one of your planes and I'll let you co drive. LOL Actually it would be neat.

ScaryFast

You couldn't "race" but you could time trial or run the HPDE (high performance driver event/education). You need a full cage and competition license to actually race.

Go to:

www.racenasa.com

to sign up. If online registration is closed PM me, I will find out if there are spots open.

I think it's $329 for saturday and sunday.
