NASA Nationals AI/AIX/CMC Entries

I just watched the TA2 race at Indy, what a great example of what NOT to do at nats, these guys were all over each other, what a mess!

Also, reminder of the Tim Bell T12 brake failure, don't go to the inside, 130mph into someones door will probably be a life ender.

I don't ever want to know the feeling he had when he realized he had no brakes. James?

Not fun.. you kind of very quickly go through some how to not hit anything scenarios.. in my case I chose wrong. I wished I had hooked it right instead of trying to hook it left and I think I might have avoided the tire wall at MSRH. I think the tendency is to try to make it on around the corner and maybe the better place is to bail out the opposite direction.

The second failure wasn't as scary, since I had felt something wrong before it went wrong and I knew where to bail from Michael's video of Hallett.

If we are talking about how the Nationals should go... something this should be the target. Some the hardest and cleanest racing I have seen. All be it minus 2 wheels.

How do those guys fit their balls in their suits?

I finally got cleared (again) by NASA medical to race. As of yesterday my car is finally running (it hasn't been run in anger since COTA 2017). I might actually make Nationals!

That's going to be a Hell of a standing start. My starts suck! Pretty sure I go backwards, so this time I'm going to try using 1st instead of "R"ace and see if I can have a decent start.

Yep and I have to get an EKG every 6 months for the FAA and they say I'm fine. I think NASA maybe takes their initials too seriously.

Probably, but.... no Co-pilot in the race car.

How will you get your 5 required races to qualify for Nationals? Hope to see you there, the more the merrier.
