Great weather, great racing, great event.
NASA Texas knows how to run a smooth and fun weekend. If you haven't run with NASA in the Texas Region give it a try.
44 cars took the green flag about 36 of them SM's. As you can see there was plenty of big names and talent at the race.

Also you can see we have quite a few up and coming yougsters mixing it up with the old dudes.

New weights and plates? Yes and every car was in the mix. 1.6 1.8 NA and 99 each had chance to win if they were on good tires.

thanks for posting the results - All the usual suspects with a couple of wrinkles

PS - how does the Hoosier fare on that track? I know you run Toyos for NASA but has anyone run Hoosiers there?

PPS - your new car paint scheme rocks!

You are welcome. The wrinkles mean we are getting faster as a division, especially NASA. Some of the kids aren't old enough to race SCCA.
My personal experience with the Hoosiers at MSRH show quite a bit of advantage. 1.5 ish

Appreciate the compliment on the car. Chris Haldeman did most of the creative work. I gave him the colors and told him to make it look good! We are still tinkering with the vinyl, it should be 100% at the BFG Super Tour Event at TWS in March. Come on down if you want to have fun and air it out. You came to our most technical track, now try our track with the most smiles per mile.

I take it there was a bit of gamesmanship at the ARRC?

I liked the 1.6 power. Pulled Aaron's 99 at the bottom of 3rd.

Yep, the 1.6 was easily as fast as three of the fastest 99's in the division. Especially when the restrictor kicked in at top of 4th.

If your motor is tired, then everyone else's must be suffering from pure exhaustion :)
