NASA Nationals Main Information Thread
Let's use this thread to coordinate everyone who will be at Nationals at Mid-Ohio in September.
We'll be pulling out of Salt Lake on Sunday the 7th and arriving at Mid-Ohio on Tuesday the 9th in the evening. We plan on running the practice day on Wednesday.
We reserved space in the middle paddock and would like to have as many of the Corvette competitors as possible in our area. We'll get set up as quickly as we can on Tuesday evening, so just look for our flag and trailer.
We've also been talking to Kevin Mixon about having a cook out one night. I don't know if the NASA regions are planning any hospitality, so stay tuned and we'll let you know the day. Much to Robbin's dismay, it will likely be burgers, brats and beer, rather than a proper sit down dinner.
Most importantly, we are offering added incentives to our contingency program!

You know, I actually prefer being out in the grass. It is cooler, quieter and it adds to the "park-like" feel.

Being far away sucks less when you have a matching golf cart to ride around in. Hoofing it gets old fast since they don't allow bikes.

He he he he, matching golf cart...
I have three 4X8' sheets of heavy painted plywood to lay down on the ground, plus a 20X20 canopy (and maybe a second one) to cover the area. I am also buying indoor/outdoor carpeting to lay down on the ground, all done to make the environment more pleasureable. The trailer w/power and air really makes a difference. Remember, this isn't my first rodeo at Mid Ohio.
BTW, if you paddock near me, you can borrow the golf cart. Trust me, that bugger gets a lot of use at the track, and not all by me.

For our paddock space, Pfadt Racing Team Members can park in the paddock for beer. Anyone else interested in parking with us can score a spot for $50 for the weekend.
Team members get dibs, so please let us know!
As for mooching power (or pretty much anything else) you're more than welcome!
