    I have also run MSR-C in both directions (wet and dry). I'm OK w/ one or the other. No so much w/ flip/flopping it during the weekend.

    Would have hoped that they back-filled the curbing through rattlesnake. Cost me an oil pan last year.

    TTers braver than the CMC & AI crowd? What's the world coming to? :-p (just rattling some cages)

    You guys are all welcome to run with us on the 3.1 if you'd like, here are the rough classing translations:
    CMC - TTB
    AI - TTS
    AIX - TTU most likely, could be TTR if it has a ton of hp though (TTU limit is 5.50lb/hp adjusted)
    And if you don't care what class you fit and just want to run, sign up for TTR (which is fully unlimited).

    If you want to work through the classing and fit in the exact right class rather than use my conservative translations above, happy to do that as well. I'm here to help.

    No way in the world a CMC car is competitive in TTB. I'm not saying your wrong, but rather I know what can run in TTB and a CMC car would/should get its ass kicked.
    I do think it is good to see guys run TT for whatever reason (seat time, testing....) and I would hope this would lead to some running PT (like TT but accuall w-2-w racing!)

    Its a conservative estimate like I said I think Wayne S. ran a couple events with his new car in TTC but had to run a little heavier than his CMC weight to be good on points to fit C, otherwise he was a couple over and got bumped up. Happy to work through the exact specifics on your car if you don't want to use my conservative estimates.

    Same with AI, I worked through the specifics on Patterson's car and he was a handful of points outside of TTA. But AI hp/weight is well within TTS limits.

    The break points don't fall in quite the same places between all the NASA rulesets unfortunately.

    There is a new hotel right across the street from the track. Otherwise, Granbury or Benbrook.
