I signed up for RA in ST1. I'm looking forward to playing with the number 9 again. 1:27's huh???? I don't think so.....see you guys in a couple weeks.
Gee Bob, I didn't think to check with you first about how fast we might go at RA.

BTW, we don't count fast laps run during qualifying (especially when the required ballast is lying in the paddock). So it's actually a full 2 seconds faster than your best lap run during (legal) race conditions.

Incidentally, we were on Hoosier R6's. We wanted to run the Michelins, but the brakes are still not quite right, and we didn't want to ruin them.

BTW, what size is the restrictor on your engine?

I know you forgot to check with me....its ok, you're forgivin!

It sounds like you really have the car flying!! Congrats on a great time! We should have a great race....sounds like I'll need to step it up a notch or two.

Oh yeah....we run a 75.3mm restrictor for STO.

Unfortunately my stint in Alabama is over so RA is no longer convenient for me. Its okay though, I have about 5 tracks within 5 hours here in Texas to play on even though I still dont have my car back together yet.

I hope you get your car back together soon

Basically I got the run around by a "used parts salesman" in Houston and after 2 months of no parts, I just gave Gene Culley and GM Parts House a call so hopefully Ill have the parts late next week. Wasn't much more for new and I know Ill be getting the right thing.

Oh, and I still need a TR right rocker and rear bumper cover if anyone has one.

NASA-SE proudly presents the annual Santa's Toy Run! at Road Atlanta in Winder, GA on December 3-4-5, 2010. This will be a fun filled event that promises to exceed all previous levels of NASA-SE quality events. We will have our annual 8 Hour Endurance race on Friday evening and continuing through out the weekend. This event includes:

High Performance Driver's Education (HPDE) - drivers of all makes and models of cars can sign up and begin at the novice level (HPDE 1) and work their way to advanced driving skills. All drivers start with classroom instruction as well as an in-car instructor to guide you to drive your car at the limits. All of this takes place with the safety of a racetrack under controlled conditions.

Time Trials (TT) - Drivers will compete for their fastest lap times and win all types of contingency money and prizes. The beauty of TT is the fact that you can do all of this with only your street car and a helmet!

Sprint Races - All of the standard NASA classes will be participating, 944Spec, SpecBoxter, American Iron(AI), Factory Five Racing (FFR), German Touring Series (GTS), Honda Challenge(HC), Performance Touring(PT), SpecE30, SpecMiata, Super Unlimited(SU), Super Touring(ST), etc. Cars will be split up into groups and the racing will be intense to watch and participate in!
