Looks like the VIR event is two weeks before the NASA event. Might instruct and come hang out. A few Viper buddies have been trying to get me to run NARRA for a bit.

Are NASA instructor credentials accepted?

Can you TT and instruct? Looks like they have a decent Hoosier contingency and TT-3 works out nicely for ST2 cars.

You can TT and instruct. Email Rob Morrison for instructor info.

Ouch, where did that happen?
Sorry I couldn't get back over there to hang with you guys. My daughter liked your green track wheels a lot though! You seemed to be holding your own out there - now a couple of those Vipers - that is another story. Here is a quick vid. Just plain overrun the RX7. Thought he would be accelerating more and I was carrying too much speed to get underneath him. 100% my fault. Just glad I didn't touch wall, get sideways or hit anyone.

Wow!! yea he scared the crap outta me one time were I had to lift and brake comin down the hill into 12. I know I wasn't fast either, I even had to go over inside rumble strips on inside of 12 to avoid him once, but that was kinda fun and uneventful! A few of them vipers would give me a point by comin outta 7 and proceed to take off and wanna drag race
