Default ButtonWillow with NASA: June 7

I am registered for this event in HPDE4

https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1857

Anyone want to join me?

If you have never run with NASA I get $50 cash for referring you. I will pass this along to you. So in essence you get a $50 discount.

Are you also running June 28 @ WSIR for the CC ? This looks like an increase in your frequency and "track rat" status.

I'd go but they probably wouldn't let me into the hdpe 4 as I only have one real track event...went a year or so ago and been working on the vette since then trying to get the temps down and just recently succeeded. I canyon it every time I drive as I live at 8250' elevation...but that won't qualify me.

Scotty,

You don't need to be in HPDE4. Let me know if you register so I can claim the $50 and give it to you trackside.

Yes there is an Extreme Speed event at SOW on 6/14

Glad you will be joining us for the Corvette Challenge on 6/28

Check in on the event thread that I usually start 3 weeks before the event date

DH,

They have open testing day on Friday, June 6. Essentially, open tracking the entire day with a skeletal track crew.

The last day I attended was wide open, and you could have run two 3-hour stints if you wanted too.

I like running with NASA

It was a little warm. 88* at start and 101* session4 but there was a little breeze and didn't seem too bad.

Oli raced and came in second due to poor luck in lapping traffic. I have some video but have to learn how to get it off my smarter than me phone. I do have him passing me in the Star Mazda.

NASA is very strict. I went out in Session1 without my helmet and even though the grid guy and starter guy didn't notice AND that I put it on before they actully black flagged me they wouldn't let me go back out. So I only got to run 3 sessions

Here is Session2 where I go off in Cotton Corners. And yes no nannies


The NASA head guy bet me that he had an instructor who could take 3 seconds off my best time of the day in session 4. And if he didn't he would give me a FREE TRACK DAY..................... stay tuned for result till I get video ready.

Here is session3 featuring me deciding to miss shift to 1st instead of 3rd in the Bus Stop and Oli practicing his dive bombing in the Star Mazda.

Okay, here is the last session with the instructor who was supposed to shave 3 seconds off my best time of the day or my next NASA track day was going to be FREE. See what happens on the last lap
