Default NASA Nationals at The Glen -- Who's In?

I'll be T the back of the SM pack trying to preserve my car and hoping to make positions as others go off. 55 SM's so far with most of the fastest guys signed up.

Be there right after you w/ Trackmasters.....not to derail the thread but (in full NASCAR-speak) loved the way the 2 car "chrome-horned" the 78 on the last lap there Sunday

Off to Mosport--hoping against hope the bridge traffic is light....

I was planning on it but only 1 other car in TT1. 5 required for it to be counted as a championship race. Too far to go without knowing for sure. Really do want to drive that track. Mid-Ohio end of August will have to suffice. Love that track.

We're heading to Mid Oh after Nationals for a PCA DE. It's on the way home, and will give my better half a chance to drive Mid Oh. I agree, it's a fantastic track.

you NEED to drive the Glen...In looking back I have no clue why I held out soo long it's an amazing place and I can't wait to get back.

Your car would be an absolute MONSTER there.

Comments like these are exactly why I'm hauling all the way from Texas. It sure as hell isn't to win the race. I stand no chance of finishing at the middle of the pack even. But I get to race at WGI. :-)

I noticed, however the 4th entry s2000 is actually a TT2 car. I always do my homework on the lists because many times people get misplaced in classes. Sometimes I think on purpose to draw class numbers. I know 2 of the other 3 are legit TT1 guys though but if one cancels, they sometimes also dont update the list. That one almost got me though.

Edit: did recheck the rules though and only 4 cars needed to be considered a championship. Going to validate current entries. Another entry is questionable as well. Need to see if it checks out. Might just be going after all.
Have to reschedule my little bros birthday weekend.

Would have loved to driven this one myself! Bigger field than the SCCA runoffs! Saving it for the SIC though. And, that's a great strategy! They'll def be opportunities to move up the pack with a little patience. Big races like this are a good experience as well.
