just looking for a little confirmation, does NASA TT still allow completely stock street cars, with no safety equipment??? Basically just go through HPDE tech, then hit the track????

Reading the rules, it looks like the Recommend a fire extinguisher, and you need a transponder, but otherwise just run???

Also, looks like the C6Z06 would run in TTU....anyone confirm that??? Looks like it would take nearly 600hp to run TTR.

Thanks!

pretty much

You are correct sir, TT is set up for street cars

Varkwso can answer all you questions about NASA TT. I know that you need a check ride but I doubt that is an issue for you.

I would fall down laughing if the TT director made david do a check ride.

I'm signed up for TTS next month at VIR

Nothing more required than HPDE tech.

L98Terror

I would expect a check ride but I would if he failed.

davidfarmer

I have a NASA competition license, and have run TT in my race cars, but was thinking of taking the Z06 to Lowes.............however I need a sponsor to pay my $200 entry fee

I live 4 miles from Lows, so I hate to miss it.

This year in Texas Region they issued us TT'ers a log book and we go through tech at the beginning of the year. After that we take our log book and a HPDE tech sheet to tech and they sign off and give us a tech sticker. We don't have to take our cars through.

This past weekend they didn't have enough cars for seperate TT so they put us in with DE cars. But it worked out ok. The DE guys saw us coming and got out of the way most of the time.

My first time to run TT last year, they didn't require a check ride.
May be different in other regions.

davidfarmer

yes, I saw that about optionally doing an annual tech...... that's a great option, and would be great if they did it for DE as well (at least one of my local clubs does, and it's very handy)

Again, I have a NASA license, so no "check ride" should be required.

So anybody confirm the classing. It's completely stock except for tires and brakes. It's just for fun, but I prefer to work it out BEFORE getting protested!

wallyman424

if its a stock Z you'll be in TTU, however they will require a dyno sheet. If theyre sticklers, and you don't have a dyno sheet, they throw you into TTR.

TTU is the same as ST1, so its weight/hp >= 5.5

L98Terror

If it's a C6 Zo6 you need a dyno sheet and if it falls into 5.5 :1 than it's TTU, 8.7:1 TTS

Stock C5 Z06 = TTA

davidfarmer

I think I have an old dyno sheet....actually makes LESS power now, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks!

L98Terror

A dyno sheet is good for 1 year and is required for TTs & TTU otherwise you get put in TTR

sperkins

Good luck David.

Actually I just pulled this from the time trials rules:

"Certified Dyno reports are potentially valid for up to a maximum of three years (provided that no changes have been made to the vehicle that would alter Dyno readings). However, at his discretion, a NASA TT Director may require an updated certified Dyno report (at the driver’s/owner’s expense) after one year from the date of the previous report."

I don't think it'll be a big deal, since stock C6z is nowhere near the limit for TTU

David, a check ride should be waived, but be aware that a comp license doesn't mean you can drive TT. In other words, you'll probably have to spring for a separate TT license. I ran TT last month to shake down a new build, and had to buy an annual TT license even though I already have a valid 2009 comp license.

Perhaps you can get it waived since you're in a different region or for one event, but just a heads up.

wallyman424

really? is it different in the great lakes region? that didnt happen to me in mid-a... strange.

davidfarmer

I'll as Julie if I decide to register. I did TT's a few years ago, and they never made me get a TT license. I've never heard of a group that didn't allow a wheel-to-wheel license to cover TT/Solo etc, but NASA is a money machine after all!
