the nasa events are suppose to be indentical to the redline events... by selling booth space for primedia and general helping them in anyway, i got to see the rules and requirements..... the preliminary ones looked like they took one and copied it..... from class regulations to rules.....they could have changed it....just telling ya what i know.......hope it all works out and everyone has fun....didnt go to the party last night.....pissed about that one..... oh well i think you guys got freaking hammered more than me. i have like 3 inches of snow

see ya

 

Good to see you getting the word out better now.

 

yep....got some more new stories this week.. getting all the gossip on the scene....

 

Beginners (and intermediate drivers for that matter) can't participate in NASA TT's (although they can apparently participate in Redline Time Attacks.) You must be a roadracer, instructor, or advanced level HPDE driver to qualify for a NASA Time Trial. And you'll only get to that point after many weekends of in-car instruction (which Redline doesn't do, apparently.)

yeah but what i dont understand is that pick up a euro tuner or a super street... they are marketing this as a show up and drive series for the consumer to show up and take their car on the track..... primedia eurotuner superstreet time attack series sponsored by falken, greddy and someone else..... has a red rx7 wide body on the ad. primedia told me that anyone can show up and run the car. no suit or etc.. needed just an sa rated helmet and they are all scheduled for 2006 and each date shares the same dates and locations as NASA raace weekends including the Nationals in Ohio.... someone is wrong and i dont think its you or I....lol......on what info we both have.....

 

Yeah, this ad:

The NASA staffer in charge of the TT portion of that VIR-July weekend is most definitely waiting for an explanation.

i didnt get to go to the party yesterday because of my distance from baltimore and the snow... no one wanted to chance it.... which i am glad we didnt since they go hammered..... but i was to be at a meeting for the superstreet media meeting for time attack series... i will try to get in touch with them this week and let you know

 

i would straight up be scared to be out on course with a newbie with no instructor. newbs with instructors was bad enough, heh.

 

I hear that, the whole Redline way of doing this just blows my mind. Better judgement and self-preservational instincts sometimes go out the window on racetracks, especially with n00bs who don't know any better yet.

These rules don't exist because we're a$$holes, they exist for safety...
