Lightbulb 2011 NASA nationals at Midohio.....

Hello friends, I know a lot of us on here race with NASA in various classes so I figured I would start a thread for it. Who is going, what class, preparation..... So on and so forth!

We have a solid group of owner / driversand not to mention EVO builders on here, so everyone chime in!

Still planning to race ST-2 at the September nationals. Right now the entire drive line is removed from the car after racing at Pocono. The used RPS carbon clutch started going Saturday. Sunday morning practice I had transfer case fluid smoke entering the car. Shep is helping us rebuild the transfer case and we are purchasing a new Quarter Master clutch from them. Hope we make the August Mid Ohio event or my championship run is over.....

Why would your run be over? Not enough events in to qualify for nationals?

I can't make it either, budget currently wouldn't allow it. It'd be nationals and no more events or make the last 3 regional events. I'm focused on getting my race lic later this year and do ST2. TTS is fun but too short and just as expensive.

I'll be there, but will not be bringing my car. I spent WAY too much money on the car this year already, so no Nat'ls for me. I will be there to help Kevin pit for Josh though. Hope to meet all of you guys while I'm there.

Good to see people coming out to help those racing. Did anyone rent padock space? My buddy who is racing his m3 in ttb and i have a double spot. So anyone who has any problems has a place to fix it if they have a bad spot on the grass or where ever they are.

Where'd you get designated?

I have 3 10'x40' spots. D18-D20. Which is in the Middle Paddock; right next to the main grid and road - opposite where Hoosier usually sets up.

Not sure, my buddy got the spots...

So I went to AMS yesterday to through my car on the dyno and have them take a look at the tune they did about 4 months ago and in 60 degree cooler weather. At the last autobahn track event the car felt slower and I was getting pulled hard by the 2 front runners in their vettes...

When I left AMS is in late march the car made my max allowable hp at 325 on a mustang and 372 tq. Low and behold when we put my evo on the dyno it put down 271 hp and 343 tq!!!! After chris black worked some witchcraft the car was back at 325 hp and now at 378 tq!

This should help at Midohio, i aslo have a few more parts that came in. That being my solid bushing front control arms, and new rear end links.
