Default Who's Going to the NASA Mid-Ohio Event?

Just found out our 2 ALMS cars are not ready for LimeRock so I think I might be able to play next weekend.

I don't have the extra money right now to buy the center net and kill switch to run ST2, so I may just run the TT's

Look forward to meeting a lot of you guys in person finally.

I'll be there, except TT is full so if you're not already signed up you are going to have a hard time getting in. I did hear that a certain TTers isn't going to be running so one spot may open up, that is if there isn't already a waiting list.


I also heard that if your car passes tech with another org. like SCCA that NASA will let you run, I'm sure there is room in ST2. I would look into that.

Well Crap, I hope that my SCCA tech would let me run in ST2 then. I just put an email out to John Graber, hopefully he can get me in somewhere.

Heck, I just want to run so I really don't care where they put me.

See you then Bill! I just got a reply from Graber that I can run. I just ordered the kill switch and C5R net for monday delivery.

My better half is going to kill me.

Sorry I didn't get to spend more time with you at VIR, but I was pressed for time.

TTS was full so I broke down and ordered the center net and kill switch to run ST2. Should be here tuesday to install before heading down friday afternoon.

I will have the big silver Kumho semi trailer with all the fixens, so stop by and introduce yourself and help yourself to air,tools or cooling off in the lounge.

The last time I ran NASA was at Mid-Ohio April 2006 in my old C4 car. Looking forward to my first NASA race with the T1 car.


David,
Good luck at the Vintage Grand Prix and make sure you post pictures and a story on your weekend.

Great, guess I'm now shifted back to third place behind you and Forbis...



I remember the red C4, that was two years ago? Seems like only last year...

I just want track time and could care less where I finish, so I will be more than happy to bring up the rear
if it makes you feel better.

The OLD Red C4! I ran it one time in NASA and then got the C5 and never looked back. It is still a fun fast car and is ready to run at anytime, I just don't have any interest in it anymore. I thought I would sell it to get more goodies for the C5 but the better half says no.

See you friday!

Aaron

Are you running Friday? I'm trying to decide. Most likely I'll be headed down Friday morning, it makes sense to drive but it also makes sense to not have to get up at 5:00 am

Feel free to bring up the rear, however I don't see that happening

I looked at the ST2 field for the M-O race and you guys are going to have a ball. Wish I could make it, but I'll be at Carolina Motorsports Park fighting with some other ST2 guys!

You guys be safe and keep the dirty side down!

I'll be there ........unfortuneatly still without car.....Engine machinists decided to send my crank out for heat treating/nitrating and the heat treat shop must be in Cambodia.....F#$% !!!!

Looks like a great ST1 and ST2 field.......Ken Smith jumping into ST1 , after crying about the costs of new tires for his TTA car and buliding a CMC car ????? WTF?????......Welcome into ST1 Ken !!!!

I'll be relagated to running TT in the Forbis machine and taking my two race starts in some other significantly less powerful vehicle (have to get qualified for Nationals)

Look forward to seeing everyone in a couple of days.

The Blue Rocket will be ready shortly thereafter the event. Wont have to much time to sort out the new mods......
