Tentative Schedule for 2011

Here's an aggressive schedule for 2011.  It's basically the entire NASA MW/GL region events minus Brainerd - with the GRM UTCC weekend at VIR added.  I might trim one of the events in June depending on how the car is progressing throughout the year.  We'll have a lot of new parts to dial in!  Should be a good time.

2011 Planning

Happy New Year!

2011 Planning is well underway for the 929 Evo.  We're planning our changes & updates for the upcoming season.  For 2009-2010 the car was maximized for NASA TTB; abiding by the modification point system and a modified 10.25 power/weight ratio limit.  This proved to be a good class for the Evo with many wins and track records.  With a few changes we competed well in higher classes as well, earning wins & track records in both TTA & TTS including a TTA Regional Championship in 2010.

Our build this year will focus on maximizing the car for TTA which along with a more generious allottment of mod pts has an 8.7 power/weight ratio limit.  I'm working on what assortment of mods is best suited for the car currently.  I've enlisted the help of a few suspension and aero techies and am bouncing around several different setup combinations at this point.  Stay tuned!

2011 NASA Ruleset Released!

After a few months of waiting, the 2011 NASA Time Trials rules have been released!  This means all competitors can pour over the rules and see what class they want to compete in and prep their car accordingly. 

Let the strategizing begin!  Or rather finalize... (I have a good plan)

2010 Track Records - n' such

So NASA MW/GL decided to give out these little Track Record certificates for Saturday events in 2010.  I collected a few and wanted to preserve them somehow.  So my wife gave me the idea of framing them, and I had enough room to squeeze in the 2010 UTCC in GrassRoots Motorsports magainze and a few other items.  The bottom right is from Phil Wicks Driving Academy; my first ever event!  (yes, my name is misspelled there)
Looks kinda neat I think.  It'll go up in the garage shortly!
