the classes did change a little - FYI:
AIX - ES
AI - E0
CMC2 - E1
CMC - E2

[rleng1]

Thanks Mike and appreciate the effort.
Will garages only be offered on Fridays?
Rookie eyes :shock:

[MikeP99Z]

It's not a typo. I realize that the weekend garage thing is missing, I don't have the fee for it at the moment, and will add it when I find out.

Hence - preliminary

:)

[GlennCMC70]

Generally TWS will allow your Friday Garage Fee to cover the weekend.
They will also try and give you the place you will be in for the whole weekend so you dont have to move.

I've always paid the $30 to NASA. If we are able to pay the $25 on Friday that is great. Please keep us posted, thanks.

[kbrewmr2]

last year they had me on a different garage on Friday than I did for the weekend, but luckily the guy that had my spot for the weekend was cool with letting me stay there and taking the other spot. It's all Misty's fault I'm sure :P :wink:

[MikeP99Z]

Do not twist what is going on with the garages. There is a fee to NASA for the garage weekend, separate from Friday.

Will we have the combo AI(X)/CMC/2 mega party garage again?

Can I pit there this year?

[Chuck]

Mike,

Thanks for all your efforts on getting us the 4th race and lower fee!!! It is very much appreciated.

[Al Fernandez]

Excellent Mike, many thanks. Four races and a price break is great considering the circumstances. Sunday is going to be a busy day!

[BlueFirePony]

Ditto! Man is Sunday going to be a blast or what! 3 races in one day!
Gonna have to see if I can arrange to be home Monday and sleep this one off...

[MikeP99Z]

Anyone here entering the 6-hour enduro?

If we found a way to do a 1.5 hour or 2 hour enduro later in the year would anyone here enter?

Anyone going for the Supersize TT?

[Fbody383]

Anyone going for the Supersize TT?

If I wasn't helping in the enduro I would think about it. I think the car is almost reliable enough now to take the chance.

Might be useful extra track time at Hallett.

Definately be willing to do a 1-2 hr enduro later. I was nutz thinking my heavy ass car would make it 6hrs so I ain't gonna make that one....but 2 hours..I think BFP could do that if I go on a diet ;)
Car is already doing back-to-back sessions with Kyri driving so no Supersize until we get car #2 built - hopefully next year pending video game sales ;)

[GlennCMC70]

LAW Motorsports will be in as well. Hopefully not w/ the #70 though. That thing needs to be retired.

would love to do the enduro.. but funds aren't there... gonna try the supersize deal cuz Jason and I are sharing a hans and cant race together

[cobra132]

I'am in, pending any more problems. I need a fire/safety man and maybe a recorder if anyone is interested. FMR

Frank, let's ping Sam, Love and we have others that can pitch in if they aren't working corners that weekend. Count misty as crew as well.

[kbrewmr2]

if you guys get bored or end up with extra crew I'm sure I could use a hand :lol: :x

[cobra132]

Sounds good. FMR

I'm your Huckleberry

[MikeP99Z]

Please get your registrations submitted, especially if you plan on running the enduro. If we don't have enough pre-registered enduro cars, we may have to dump it and revert to a normal weekend schedule. I would be disappointed if this were to happen.

Thanks

[marshall_mosty]

I'd entertain a mini-enduro later in the year, but I'm out until EC with family obligations. So, really depends on the event date.

[ShadowBolt]

Thanks

Yeah, me too.

JJ

[kbrewmr2]

I'm registered - planning on iorn-man unless someone really wants to drive the slowmobile in exchange for a little tire money.

[MikeP99Z]

If anyone needs the actual entry form to manually submit, please email me or Jessica and we will send it to you, the website has an issue at the moment.

thanks

[Fbody383]

What's the deal with garages for this event? I DO want on the list.

[michaelmosty]

There is the $30 fee for a garage you can check on the regular registration page.

[Fbody383]

Isn't on the receipt, so I must have missed it. It IS only the second time I've been to TWS.

You official spot holders save me some room and I'll pay up when I get there.

Need file sent to whitsend119@aol.com or mail 3 of them to LiiR, PO Box 1112, Tomball, TX 77377

you can register for just the garage - I've done it every TWS event as I always seem to forget about them until AFTER I've gotten through the process the first time :oops:

I'd recommend that so they don't sell the spot to someone else...

[Fbody383]

you can register for just the garage

See... there is some useful advice. Done.

I need to look you up and put together a name and face.

I'm the slow *new* guy ahead of D. Love.

keep it up and I'll be ordering new tires :twisted: :twisted: ... I'm just sayin' 8)

[michaelmosty]

Definitely get the garage spots reserved BEFORE the event. They have always done a great job of pitting us all in the same garage but every once in a while a pesky Miata or MR2 gets tossed in the mix. :wink:

[Fbody383]

every once in a while a pesky Miata or MR2 gets tossed in the mix. :wink: Aren't they usually in front of the 27?

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!

[kbrewmr2]

bright blue Toyota MR2. Only one in the paddock. I imagine they'll throw me in the farthest garage away from everything with the rest of my Time Trial peeps...

[BryanL]

Anyone know what the status is of the Enduro? Go or No Go? I would like to know before I sign up. Also, if there isn't an Enduro then I'm thinking about doing the Supersize TT. Looks a little tough on the schedule due to the Enduro.

[GlennCMC70]

Should know by tomorrow. For now, it is still a 100% go.

[ShadowBolt]

Should know by tomorrow. For now, it is still a 100% go.


For how many cars?

JJ

[GlennCMC70]

I do not know. I havent been provided that info even though I have asked a couple times.

[BryanL]

Email said they needed 20 cars. I doubt they aren't near that number or especially for actual paid entry's. I may just come down to watch and look forward to Hallett.

Why? You were only going to make it if there WAS an Enduro?


JJ

[cobra132]

GO or No-GO?????????????

[kbrewmr2]

camping is allowed right?

(I just want to confirm)

[MikeP99Z]

GO or No-GO?????????????

GO

[rpoz27]

camping is allowed right?

(I just want to confirm)

Yes. Gates will close at 10pm each evening, however.

[Rob Liebbe]

Yes. Gates will close at 10pm each evening, however.

If you arrive on Friday - there may be a fee for the overnight. Depends on how stealthy you are.

[ShadowBolt]

GO or No-GO?????????????

GO

Damn, I'm so excited! What do we have 6 or 8 cars this year?

I am sorry. I know some of you love this event. it's just if you are not in it it's a long boring day. What is there in a normal weekend 70-100 drivers.....maybe more? How many doing the enduro........less than 20. I really have no issue with an enduro but I do not like it on MY race weekend. I only get away to drive the race car six weekends a year and I want every minute I can get. Already lost one race at Cresson to the oil down.

I doubt many have the sack to say they do not like the enduro on a race weekend but I bet it's 80% of the drivers. If the event had grown every year I may feel different but unless there are 20 cars why are we doing this? After two years the enduro should be able to stand on it's own or go away.

No offence enduro drivers. Not your fault the event has not grown.
JJ

[GlennCMC70]

More than that Jerry.

As for your feelings towards the Enduro being run on a regular event weekend... Have you shaed your feelings w/ NASA TX, Jay, Shannon?
If not, you should. The folks here have no say in it and your pissing up a rope by posting it over here.
I too would love to do this on a non points race weekend.

I will let them know this weekend.

[ShadowBolt]

Any chance of a half day or a happy hour on Friday?


JJ

[BryanL]

Any chance of a half day or a happy hour on Friday?


JJ

You needing some CBP to get your sack on?

Half day is $115 according to Patterson's schedule. But on TWS website last week it only showed full day at $215. Or supersize TT for $100.

As for Happy Hour-that will start Saturday afternoon at the midpoint of the Enduro. And it will cost you a 12 pack of BL bottle's.

[rpoz27]

Registration at clubregistration.net or show up in time for drivers meetings (8:45, 1:45) and register at the track. Half day option is $115, full day option is $215. No happy hour planned, except opening a beer at 6pm.

She can still kick your ass.

95% of the paddock could kick my ass :oops: I can barely fight a fever
