Well it is time for me to drag out my soap box....

 

If you want to participate in this event PLEASE go register NOW.  This event sells out at 35 entires.  Period.  Not 36 entries, 35 only.  First come first severed.  If you wait there is very strong possibility you will be a spectator.  I have ZERO pull in getting ANYONE in this event.  I have already registered to avoid problems for myself

 

This is also a Socal crossover event.  The event is put on by NASA Socal.

 

This is also a West Coast TEEN MAZDA CHALLENGE event as well.  Round 5 and 6 will be scored for this event.  This will further impact registration as the first race of the series was very well attended.

 

Registration can be found here:

 

http://www.nasaprora....com/event/1859

 

Notes form the website:

 

Early discounted registration will be open to Race and TT classes until May 30th. We are capacity limited to 35 cars per group. *IF* space remains availble after May 30th, HPDE 3 will be made available. Acceptance will be granted based on order of entry. First come first served.

Race & TT Entry will increase to $599 May 31st if space remains available

 

Anyone that has not run with NASA that needs to get a NASA license can contact me for assistance or Dave Ho at NASA National office.  If you have a SCCA License will need a copy of the front and back of that license and to sign a 3 question medical form (no exam required) in order to get your NASA license.

 

Oh and did I mention DO NOT WAIT TO ENTER? 

 

Ready, GO!

is a "group" a class (example; spec miata), or is it combined race classes, example; spec miata + spec e30?

Thanks.

Last year it was 30 SM cap and we ran with PTE, I don't know the case this year besides 35 car cap.

 

Also, just pointing out if you missed it, it's $60 more to reg after the May 30th.

If we get, and I expect to, 35 SM it will be sm only.

 

However if everyone waits to the last minute we could have a shared group again.  Morale of the story. sign up now.

I spoke with NASA National today regarding this race.  If the numbers do not improve we will have a shared group.  If that occurs and the schedule is made there will be no more room for late entries.  

 

What this means is if you try to wait to the last week before the race, you most likely will not get in.  Period.  As of my conversation yesterday, not a single TMC participant is currently entered.  I know several plan on attending.  If entries close and you are in the TMC series and have not entered, you will be watching Race Monitor from home.  

 

Please, get your entry in.  I understand the expense and the problems of pay now, play later.  But if you wait too long you WILL end up watching rather than racing and that would suck.

Craig - I'm looking at this event - is there not an option to supersize into another race group or TT?   Two groups is > $1000?

NASA Norcal posts on FB, usually within the month it's running. I guess you could call the office.

I'm in.

I believe it a "Teen Miata Challenge" weekend too.

 

So if those guys aren't signed up yet they will be. That's a half a dozen or so.

Brian---- I inquired regaurding your question. This was the reply:

MRLS is a capacity limited event and we expect to sell out. Because of this we priced the event low for 2 days and did not plan to offer supersize. However, once we hit 2 weeks prior to the event we will send an email blast to racers with a supersize offer if there happens to be space remaining.  Feel free to pass this message along. 

Thanks,

RYAN FLAHERTY
Regional Director
SoCal NASA


Johnny--- Yes this is a TMC race. I expect 6-10 of the TMC partisipants to join us.

If you need any help let know.

 

On another note...

I'm not sure it would change the head count or how soon, but I really like it. (What SCCA does)
