    I will be there and will discuss with Will. I don't want to start spreading mis-information, as the intraweb is a nasty place for gospel that ends up not being correct, but sways decisions of the group to attend or not...

    This, if true, is really bad info for me. I have been thinking of building/purchasing a new CMC car. If we lose even one race per weekend I have to find a new hobby.
    I was not going to make the trip to NOLA but have been rethinking the past few days. I guess I better wait to see what the format is going to be. So does NASA want to be a race series or The Drivers Edge?

    Appreciate the info. Probably going to sit NOLA out due to timing being so close to end of quarter.

    For the record I'm not at all interested in two-race weekends.

    Two 45m races maybe??
    Was nasatx in the red before Will came, was it his job to get it in the green? Late reg fees, more hpde, etc...

    If the group ran nose to tail for 45 minutes, this might be interesting/fun. Since we usually don't, having more pure sprint races, including the inverts, it what got and keeps me interested.

    If we can all instruct that huge HPDE group and race for free... maybe those two races start to make sense.


    Waiting patiently and looking forward to TWS since I'm not going to NOLA.

    I'm pretty sure you can do this now if the schedule allows.

    If NASA-TX moves to 2 races per weekend.. You can officially call me retired. I am on the fence about racing in general with all the costs and rising cost every year now. I certainly will not tow and spend the money for two less races per weekend.
