They have an entrants list, just doesn't seem to be many people on it, and it's divided into separate lists by group. Hopefully more attendance than their Texas event which looked awfully thin.

This is total speculation and fueled by my personal opinion, but if you thought the change from PTA to ST3 hurt entrants, I think the spec Pirelli tire is killing NARRA (unless NARRA's entry system/web page updating is very slow). 14 GT entrants and 15 TT entrants, across all classes.

29 total TT/GT. And less than 20 DE registrants. 3 SRT Cup entrants. I am not sure of the SRT Cup tire situation and obviously DE is unaffected, I don't have a theory to explain those since NARRA puts on a good event. I assume that Radical Cup entrees are handled differently because none are showing.

Pirelli tires are not required for time trials.

If you want to win tires, they are needed. And they need to be purchased from the official supplier to fulfill the contingency requirements.

It's no different that Hoosier. The price of the tires is much higher, but the contingency is much better.

That being said, not sure with only 2 planned NARRA events this year that I have a need for a bunch of Pirelli slicks (assuming I can win some) that I won't really use other than running with NARRA.

I do agree that it's taking a huge toll on their attendance though. I don't think you can race at all without the Pirelli's. On that note, there are some (quite a few) people coming that aren't on the registration list, that much I'm sure of. If they can't pack Road Atlanta, they need to revisit their game plan.

I think the second line of what you wrote is key - viewed in isolation the change isn't a bad thing but the DH is not (I think) useful outside of NARRA.

Thanks.
Here's the TT list. Too bad it doesn't specify what class folks are registered in.

For some reason, I can't see the updated entry list as of today.
Can someone post it please?

They took the list down. No one can see it.


I know there are quite a few names of people who are coming that weren't on that list. Sharif will be there in his GT-R (TT3 last year). The RU Faster GT-R guy will be there (TT2). Some Mid Atlantic Guys in TTU,TT2 and TT3 should be there. Mark Nunnally will be working I guess?

I can't understand the logic in that.

Me neither. Maybe because they are closing registration? The list didn't seem to include all of the people supposedly coming anyways. If it did, NARRA would be in trouble.

Well I made it here, but I can't find any details about the weekend.
Does anyone know what time the morning drivers meeting is?
