I'm out as well.

Hmmm... this is very very interesting. What if you keep the MN12 trans? What's the weight/power then? This opens up a huge can of worms for me.

RX-Ben

The drop-out rate is depressing.

My guess is that you can run 364hp with an MN12, at 3120lb, per one of my reclass options.

Here are the options, all with C5Z suspension as the base:

364 - MN6 - 3190
364 - MN12 - 3120
354 - MN6 - 3120

I have a wounded car due to driver abuse and a wounded wallet due to physicians that I am more than thankful for.

All that aside, no one wants to bring a knife to a gun fight.

but wise choice.

I bring my knife to the gun fight every NASA NE event thick headed

Man I leave for a few months and the world gets turned inside out.

I couldn't believe how dead the NASA road atlanta event was.

Racing Rory

To answer the question of this thread, I am signed up for PTA for Nationals and am excited for my first Nationals Race. I will just be hanging back behind all you fast guys hoping you all get DQ'd for passing under yellow. Either way it will be fun I am sure. No TTA for me as PTA built car and slow driver not so good for TTA.

No matter what, it will be a fun time getting together with everyone and talking cars and racing around the track. Oh yeah beer always tastes better at the track after a busy day of racing.

It would seem all that "MOO COW" beer we been supplying the flaggers with should get us a couple favors Roar. You will just have to hold back at the right places and I think we could get a bunch of them DQ'ed!!!

ScaryFast

You're just lucky the cheater C4 won't be there...

And congrats to Geoff, holy crap 1:30.2?!?!? That's flying.

Rory if you PM me your email I can send some video from when I was following you.

GAS

Thanks, I have always said it is better to be lucky than good! It was GREAT to put a competitive time down the event before NATS as opposed to the last two years where I crashed at AUTOBAHN in 2010 and Joel, Rory, and I rented a garage in Utah to rebuild the car finishing third in TTS. And then the fond memory of MID "O" in 2011 where I totaled the car out in August thereby making it impossible to compete at NATS. The bright side of totaling the car out last year....it allowed me to get one of those PHAST BLUE CARS that the Raft gang runs and "voila" the next thing you know ya got yourself a 1:30.2!

Congrats to Geff for an awesome TTS lap. Definitely a much happier ending than a year ago!

Kubs

Care to share with the rest of the class?

Awesome job Geff!!

davidfarmer

I'm coming up to help some of the SE guys, cleaning windows...cooking lunch....etc

If anyone needs a hand, I may be able to help out.

I was going to do the opposite this year (didn't get enough PTA races in) was going to focus on TTA since doing both last year made for a crappy effort at either.

Alas, my work schedule isn't going to permit nationals this year (doing nats would put me gone 19 of 24 days during the bulk of sept) which is not appealing to me or the wife and kids.

Looks like a "mini nats" is ramping up for VIR in Oct, so that is shaping up to be a fun looking weekend with a big fast field

ScaryFast

What's the date on that event? Maybe it's time.

Can I run with you PTA guys even though my car is technically SU (unclassified)?

Cobra4B

We need to start a VIR October thread and coordinate if we're racing or TTing. I know you want to gun for the TTA record, but I'm itching to race. We should all just race ST2.

drivinhard

don't we have to do 4 races/yr to keep our comp license? if so, I will (need to) bum around in ST2 or PTA possibly.

but yeah, there to chase your TT record mostly

PushinTheLimit

I was told no, you don't have to race a certain amount of races each year to keep your comp license.
