this may be normal for nationals.... but weird to see AI have more than CMC. Awesome field!

[Fbody383]

I'm trying to figure out where I went... weird place to say I'm between gigs at the moment, but in the change I must have missed a payment deadline or something. I've got a note into HQ to get it figured out but that would make an even 20 in CMC.

Third Gen FTW!

[ShadowBolt]

Seven weeks post op from a total knee replacement and unless something changes in a hurry Jay will be the only driver in the 55. I can only bend it 106 degrees and no way I could use the clutch.

Didn't we have twenty at Hallett one year? I think we have raced most of these guys in the past.

Fire up the rehab. I believe we had close to 25 cmc at Hallett one year.

Been doing rehab three time a week but it's slow going. Yesterday got to 110 degrees!
Unless something changes its going to be a hot MF'er. Over 100 every day this week. Oct. sure would have been a better choice if anything was available.

Sounds 5 days a week is required.

[Al Fernandez]

Might not be the biggest CMC field in history, but its the biggest field in AI or CMC in quite a while. Going to be awesome.

Someone else got an email like that from hq. Look on the registration page almost at the bottom for some reason under the 1 day race package is where they hid the link to pay if you did the payment plan.

Look on the registration page almost at the bottom for some reason under the 1 day race package is where they hid the link to pay if you did the payment plan. Thanks for that - I see it, but it's essentially the full boat late registration. I've dropped some email to HQ and just texted Will to try and get it sorted out.

[Pranav]

Yeah I did the pre pay thing and got an email reminding me to pay with instructions.

What almost got me was the email about sending in qualifying participation info, almost missed that one since the email blended in.

[Fbody383]

What almost got me was the email about sending in qualifying participation info, almost missed that one since the email blended in. Don't know anything about that either... but got final registered yesterday, so I should be back on the list.

Sounds like poor planning. I've strategically scheduled 2 ankle surgeries for post race season. :cool:

[BADVENM]

Why aren't you signed up for next weekends event at HPR?

Shitty memory. I fly back Saturday, so will probably show up when you do.

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.

[BADVENM]

I believe there will be a mandatory drivers meeting Thursday(?) night if prior nationals experience is any indicator. NASA heads preach that in order to win the championship you have to have a functioning car to get to Sundays championship race. Bottom line, use your head during the qualifying races and dont put yourself or another drivers car in danger of being damaged beyond repair, otherwise you could be on the trailer much sooner than you'd like. I guess you could say that goes for the test and tune sessions Wednesday and Thursday.

[marshall_mosty]

To finish first, you must first finish...

TA2 can be a giant demo derby. Find Jason Hart's hero lap 1 last year at COTA going into T12... ;)

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.

[liquidroam]

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?

[smitty328]

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.

Don't you fly airplanes??????

[BADVENM]

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

[liquidroam]

Just play the first need for speed game...... same thing.....

[smitty328]

At Cresson, AI and ST, 5 races and never made more than 1 lap each race. Nice way to waste a weekend, but I did get to drink lots of beer.

[smitty328]

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.
