...things are gearing up for TWS!

Great to hear some of the newbies thrashing to come join us at TWS!!!
Finish what you can and DEFINATELY run whatyabrung...we can all help you finish 'er up in the paddock, guys!!!

Here's what I know at this point...

1) Clifton's finalizing the weekend schedule...it'll be our "default weekend schedule"-
Sat- pract/qual/20 min race/ 20 minute race (inverted)
Sun- qual/ 40 minute race (rolling start due to TWS)

2) Saturday nite NASA is getting a banquet room at Fuddruckers and we can all meet up there for dinner. The series directors will try to reserve some tables/an area for all of our AI/CMC racers to dine together. We'll talk a bit in the paddock on Saturday during our AI/CMC driver's meeting about Nationals and such, but more detailed discussions/plans will be discussed at the Fuddrucker's dinner. Todd & Glenn will take the lead on that.

3) Aimee & Brittany, our AI/CMC super-models, can't make the TWS event, but we'll have a few of their friends to assist us with podium pics. New for this event, NASA is going to try and literally SCHEDULE all of the trophy presentations/podium pics for end of the day on Saturday (much like we did at Nationals). I'll post a few pics of our current candidates.

4) More details as they become available...

5) High Speed TWS....and my team-mate has a 4th gen Camaro. 8)
I'm not as dumb as I look. (no comments, Mitch)

PS- My arm could be twisted to head over to the Dixie Chicken after Fuddruckers. :twisted:

Some of the trophy girl candidates as of now..

Yeah I can say it,
Mitch is hot!

Lisa...Does Corey know you're using his internet account this late at nite? :oops:

After that picture was taken, I got a nice jacket with my name embroidered on it. Some of you might've seen it at Cresson.

We then spent a couple hours thrashing new Mustangs on a skid pad and mini-autocross course.

We broke for lunch. It was a catered thing with nice deli sandwiches, salads and some interesting cheesecake. Not much into cheesecake like Todd.

We then spent a couple hours on the TMS roval in C5 Z06 Vettes. I know I had to have the Vette I was issued fueled once before it was over.

At the end of the day, I got a new pair of Piolti shoes, crew shirt and hat.

When I got home, I sent them a bill for my services.

I bet the last model digs guys in Miata's.

Okay Todd, I will twist your arm to go to the Dixie Chicken.
I will have Carol on my right arm and Mitch on my left. Its a total toss up on which one is hotter. Its all in the eyes. Well that would be for Mitch. I didn't notice Carol's eyes until the second picture. Man-now I have a reason to get licensed and get on the podium. All I have to do is finish a race since I would be the only one in CMC-2.

Mitch-if you are doing the safety broadcast is there anyway I could get up in the tower, too? I would like to watch a race from that perspective so I could see more of what is going on. At cresson it seems like the tower would allow you to see alot more of the track than the spectators can see. Though if you can see the whole track at TWS no biggie.

Todd, a couple questions regarding the race format.
Can we take a vote or discuss the upcoming race format, 40 min. race on Sunday? I feel the 20 minute races are much more exciting, especially with how spread out we get at TWS. I know we started doing the 40 minute races to get everyone prepared for Nationals and I think they have served their purpose.

Since this is our "default weekend schedule" is this format set in stone for the rest of the year? What is the chance this will change for upcoming events this year?

Thanks, just throwing this out there to create some drama. :)

Bryan scares me ...

Watch your comments there FNG. Mitch has been nothing but a gentleman around us guys in Miatas. You can go up to the tower but stay out of Race Control.

Waco-thanks for allowing me to get up in the tower to watch. At Cresson I really feel like you miss some of the action and lines that the racers take during the race. I think it would help me prepare for an eventual race. Won't be any issues with race control. I understand it is serious in that environment. But right now just having fun.
My comment wasn't directed towards Miata drivers but just messing with Mitch. I apologize if it offended you. I have nothing but respect for any driver/car on the track. I know Mitch is a gentleman. He is a huge reason of why I want to run in CMC-2. He has more than gone out of his way with his time and valuable advice helping me. Though I guess I should have thought about stealing his notebook earlier.
