Laid-back yet well-organized, great schedule, close racing, cheaper than a test or track day. I don't understand how these events don't sell out every time. What's everybody else doing?

Good luck to everyone who will be racing!

Exactly. What's everybody else doing? See you there...

If any of you guys have all the Safety required for racing and a descent amount of driving experience, come talk to me Saturday morning or PM me here.

We may be able to get you racing on a provisional license ;-)

If I do it, my car will explode right before NASA West Champs.

If I don't do it, my car will explode at NASA West Champs.

 

I have already paid for champs so I choose to explode then  :bigsquaregrin:

 

 

 

It is a great deal though, how many cars usually show up to these events? And two races per day??

You still have time to fix it before the Champs f it explodes!

 

Yes 2 races per day! It's awesome. Field is usually ~10 cars but this Weekend could be 15+

Because we can sign-up last minute, it's hard to know exactly until the morning of ;-0

To the campers: Give a call to Dave Mills. He may be able to negotiate a deal with Thunderhill for camping inside if there is enough demand...

It doesn't hurt to ask!

Tires? :rotfl:

Greg - Yeah thanks.  Next time warn me that my $10 part is going to knock me out of the race and possibly blow up my engine.  The belt is replaced, and it seems like I didn't do any damage, but this next race weekend will tell me for sure.

Todd, can you give us the details for camping outside?  How do we reserve a spot?  Can we drop off our trailer/car at the track Friday night, or do they not let us in until Sat morning?  If not, does the campsite have enough room for our RV + Trailer?

NCRC hasn't had camping in the paddock in the past, not sure why, too much electricty ? IDK.

Todd's trying, and I'm with him to try to let us stay.

You can camp outside the gate currently but...

Pull up on the right outside the gate. Park. Open your door and put out your chairs. Cocktail hour starts at 5!

That pretty much sums it up,, it's $400 a night for campers and I can't see getting 10 people or so to commit to $80 for the weekend,, I"m in if we could,, but I can't see the math at this point.
