I'll come chill any time this summer, especially at WSR.
I was there on Sunday spectating, and I can understand why people would get frustrated with 1: lack of track time, and 2: the heat!Â*
Glad you had fun minus all the crap.Â* The heat doesn't lengthen ones temper fuse that's for sure!
The wheel to wheel action was awesome though!Â* They packed the Honda Challenge, Spec Miata, Spec BMW, and Spec 944 all in one session, but spaced them out a bit; however, after one caution everyone started to get mixed up.Â* Kinda made me think of an ALMS race.Â* Very cool to watch. Very close racing.Â* This was my first NASA event I've ever been to.Â* Kinda happened by default because I was there to see the GTA action.

i dont think id bother going to another GTA event
I was hoping they'd get their shit together but after the second event, I am worried that they won't...Originally Posted by flyingscot

Funny stuff James and nice write up.Â* This is one of the many reasons why Mike is the man, and why his crew at RRE is the shiz.Â* Regarding your IC hose clamp/pipe issue, the more you do this the more youll see that your simple track event days fooled you.Â* Because eventually youll realize that this is all about perseverance.Â* Especially if you get into racing one day.Â* Having the right tools/parts/resources, and knowing how to fabricate on the fly is what is needed for the long term.Â* And thats where Mike and RRE come into play.Â*
As far as hot crowded events...they will test everyones patience. There are a couple great groups ive ran with in Socal that have been around, SV, NASA, SCCA, OTR, and they all have had their bad days.Â* SV is a combo of HPDE and TA.Â* OTR is all about HPDE.Â* NASA is for those who want to transition from HPDE to TT to racing.Â* And SCCA is mostly about racing.Â* I think if youre ready, it will be good for you to run with those groups also.
Don't forget ExtremeSpeed which is a combination Time Attack / HPDE event.
