You guys coming up the the Enduro or you just going to let me win the E3 series????
Bring it, let me know.

RJ, remember if I have to drop a TH race you're 10 ahead in points.

I'm fired up for this next event! Much like the Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari three way battle in F1, we have our own pointy-end development programs underway:

Charlie is getting his car all sorted for the Nationals. Jaime has gotten some Rebello-Love since the last event. Aaron went the ghetto/cheap route and just got some driver coaching from yours truly. My money is on Aaron... :)


Given that the WERC enduro series has sessions at the end of Saturday and Sunday morning, there's a low probability that we'll do any sort of extended-session racing in Group A this weekend. Look for a pretty standard WarmUp/Qual/Race on both days.

Who else is in?

Cheers,

Dean

Also, it should be pointed out that the NASA norcal website sucks pretty hard.

If the discount shows up and is good, it's likely the purple gopher killer will make it.

Wow, nice.
Maybe I don't know how to use your SoCal site but....
I found more stuff that was out dated from last year than current.
You have like what 3 in 2011?
Speaking of this site of course.

If you want to start a NorCal vs SoCal war, at least start it about racing and not website design!!

I'm going to ask about a discount for "supersizing" by adding the enduro.

I don't ask much from websites, but I like it when the "contact us" link works

http://www.nasanorca...cials/Index.htm

404 oh yeah!

By the by, "sucks hard" was being generous. I had something more colorful in mind, but I might get strafed by black gunships here so I toned it down. I'm not saying the socal site is great, but it does what I need in a clear format (standings, schedule, contact info).

As for starting wars, I like to start wars I can win. :) I have no illusions about presuming to kicking anyone's butt at thunderhill.

For those of you still interested in racing instead of website critiques, I'm working with NASA to arrange for a price break on the sprint-racing + enduro combo. Don't give up hope just yet!

PS - I won't bother to forward all the of the negativity in here to the people (the same people) you want the discount from... ;)

Dean, there's not much negativity here. I didn't say NASA Norcal sucks, I said their site sucks. This isn't exactly a rare thing in amateur motorsports either.

If the combo deal doesn't materialize my feelings won't be hurt, I'll just spare myself the 10 hour tow. :rolleyes:
