As large as our group is getting the garages will be gone in a hurry. I signed up today. Sam you better get in some CBP cause the 55 is going to kick your ass in at least two of the races.

Anybody else want me to pick you up some ice cream while i'm out there?
Hey Balingit... how about CW instead?

I like CW so I'm with you on that. Sam has 500 laps both ways I assume so I guess it makes no difference.

Rob and Glenn. Now is the time to take suggestions. CCW on Sat and CW on Sunday?Quote:

If not I can see splitting up the directions but if we are then I personally prefer to keep Sat and Sun the same.

Very much agreed. Leave it CCW this time if we're coming back later this year.Quote:

AI one direction, CMC the other... :shock:

Other options are to run different config's as TWS hasa ton of them, but none are as fun and race friendly (read as passing zones) as the current 2.9 layout.Quote:

Last year, we ran SPIR with the Long 7 config on Sat, then Sunday morning we went out for warm up (we're typically the first group on track @ 8:05am) and realized DAMN QUICK we were running the Short 7 config. He loves to see if the drivers are paying attention......
Same here....Quote:

I agree with Glenn.
It is still on the NASA TX website schedule. I see it has been removed from the NASA National site though.Quote:

That sounds pretty smart and safe-especially not telling anyone! Just get on track and try to guess which configuration you are running. Heck, why don't we leave it up to each driver to run whatever way they want too once their on track.Quote:

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I figured that would be the first thing you'd go to.Quote:

I agree with Adam
How about as of today? New thread to be started. WTF is an invitational race anyways? :wink:Quote:

We will just toss in standing starts on the back straight for variety. I also have a thought on inverts for CMC, we can cover in the driver's meeting.
Yeah, baby! That's CMC right there.Quote:

Dave, will all the posts you make today still be true tomorrow? :D
Done, but you gotta give me one of your plug wire (from the motor in the car!).Quote:

Can we do it from Pit Road?
Why can't we do a standing start on the front straight? Just curious...I'm sure there's a good reason having to do with the banking but I'll go ahead and be the dumb guy who doesn't know.
