I might be wrong but there are a ton of guys over on this side of the country that would be interested in this "East Coast Touring Series" than would travel across the country to race @ Miller.

You guys have had all nationals out your way forever!

Now that's its out west, east coast guys can't make it?

It's honestly about my budget. I can race 4-5 weekends here on what it would take to do the Nationals on the west coast.

Nope...'cause I'm going to drop the weight to about 3350 and stick a restrictor on this thing. Anything over 3350 cripples the T1 springs. Hell, I might even go for some coilovers.

I would, I like running a different track or 2 every year. Maybe TCC will see the light and just follow the AI schedule with all NASA races, then we don't have to plan anything.

Why doesn't everyone come down to Road Atlanta for the ARRC in November? I tried to rally the troops for this last year with little success. This is an awesome event. Fall weather in Atlanta is usually great. Big crowds, lots of cars, 20 lap races. Good to get one last race in for the year. It is an SCCA regional so you don't need a National license, you just have to join SCCA and run on your NASA license.

We'll see, I may make an attempt to go to Utah. If I do then I'll park the car afterwards for the year if not I'm planing on it.


Wish I was on my way to Mid-O
