My wife and daughter did the prison tour last summer when I they came to Mid-O; they said it was awesome!

 

Like I said, I'm going Thursday. Anyone else going - speak up. I'll probably try for the free shuttle; why not! Btw; the deadline was Monday to purchase tics.

On Thursday, I see Group D (ST2) has a quals race that gets over at 4:15. Group I (TTA/S/R/U) has their 2nd session right before that. That'll encompass pretty much all of the Evo contingent right there.

 

I am registered and qualified for Nationals. Running the Eclipse is TTD, currently I hold both course records in the car so I am hoping for a good showing at Nationals. I'd love to win of course and add a National Road Racing title to my resume. Next year I'm gonna take it easy, this year was like a job. I plan to just hit some new tracks and relax!

 

Get busy livin' (racin') or get busy dyin'....that's dammmnnnn right.

 

Ride or die......

 

Those track records (regional at least) can't be that safe for nationals!!!

 

Now I have a hurricane to race against. I need to trailer the Evo up to Function First in Vermont before Irene hits Connecticut this weekend!

 

All the TTA records have been broke this year. I broke the Club Course record in April.
As for the PRO - there's been 2 of us that have ran faster than the Regional TTA record and the National TTA record already!

 

Well based on the fact Nationals are held at Mid Ohio and I hold both track records, the Pro course by a large margin over the old record, I'd hope they are pretty safe....

 

I think you have a good chance in TTD. If you can run what you did in July; a 1:40 or better sounds pretty solid for that class.

That's based on the fact I know the 2 guys running 1:38's in TTC and they're pretty damn good!

 

Thanks Boomn, I ran one session two weeks ago and ran a 1:40.1 and am 100% sure I can run in the 1:39's, Robi did it on full slicks and 100 pounds out of the car and I've been ahead of him slightly with the same set up, so a 1:39 should be attainable. I hate speculation, just hoping for the best!

 

Pulled the winning times from the 2008 Nationals:

2008 TTU - 1:27.4
2008 TTS - 1:31.2
2008 TTA - 1:33.6
2008 TTB - 1:37.8
2008 TTC - 1:38.7
2008 TTD - 1:42.2
2008 TTE - 1:42.4

As both DB and I have mentioned, some of these times have already been surpassed this year. Actually I just checked, and ALL of them have been surpassed. Actually all of them (except TTU) was surpassed on Sat at the Aug MW/GL NASA event! lol.

 

TTD was surpassed by me

 

There was a 1:36.5 in TTB in the 2007 nats (IIRC)...aiming for it and some more if I can acclimate to the mondo grip of the a6 and make good use of my newly installed datalogger.
DL-1 experience anyone?

 

I have a little experience with the DL1. That is what I use. Feel free to PM me or track me down at the race if you want to discuss it.
