    Grand Am

    Who's going? $59.00 for both days sounds like a great deal. Maybe with all the temp. seats you can see most of the track from the stands. Thinking about going but don't know about two days.

    You can come to the SCCA race for a lot less the following weekend march 8-10. They aren't allowing spectators but you can get in if you tell the gate person you are thinking of joining SCCA and then they will sell you a $15 all access pass. Plus all seven classes are maxed out at 85 entrants each. Might be a lot more exciting to watch!

    85 Wreck Pinatas piling into turn 1 on lap 1 should be as exciting as the Continental Series and about the same amount of carnage...

    And I have some crew spots leftover on my entry I might be sweet talked into re-arranging...

    I'll be running T1 in my new mustang. Sucks that a CMC car translates into T1 cause you're up against WAY faster cars. O well I just want to drive the track and better dial in my car.

    Well 85 pinatas out there will ruin the chance of any other clubs racing there after they tear the place up.

    85 entrants in each class is impressive. Hopefully NASA will take note and try to get Nats there sometime.

    One can only hope. And all those classes sold out in 30 min!

    I keep saying it. Maybe one day someone will believe me. COTA does not really care about NASA and does not want our National Championships there.

    I know management is stuck up and all about the pro classes but maybe soon they'll realize the profit potential from the club scene.

    Oh I agree with you. That is why I think after the scca tears it up NASA sure wont have a chance. Disappointing with the tax incentives they received. When crazy Bernie pulls out totally then maybe they will have to let us race there.

    You hit the nail on the head Bryan. The track has everything going for it right now. Once F1 gets tired of it in 10-12 years they will have a sudden newfound love for track day and club racers though.
