OK, I went ahead and singed up today, I don't want to miss out. With Roebling being full already, I could not afford to wait, Barber is way too much fun to miss. I will be in DE3, first time for that at Barber, but I look forward to it. Who else is gonna go, I know some of you hos will.

Well, um, ok

 

I'll be there. Will me my first TT event. Going to be in TTA, as I dont' see a point in removing some stuff to stay in TTB since I'm not really going for yearly points. Maybe next year i'll change, or have a new car.

 

This Ho is a go!

 

which car, the Miata or the 8?

 

This ho will be there.........

 

theres a big surprise. when you gonna head over ho? i know it is a long way off...but I am suffering from a case of combined ADD and Spring Fever...reaaaaaalllllly don't wanna work today.

 

The track is growing on me...... when coming down depends on work...june is hell, plus i am in FL for 10 days right after that....I may be coming in the am of the event......but staying saturday night. So if you wanna get a room and someone else...have at it, I'd like to request floor space Saturday night.

 

I don't know yet. Hell ... I might take my wife's Buick !!!

 

Chevy Malibu's work pretty well on track (if it is really wet and you like opposite lock cornering).

 

I'm still undecided. It's the farthest away for me. I really like Barber though and we only get one shot at it this year with NASA.

 

It sounds like you are talking yourself into it, though.

 

Pull out the string dude, You know you will be there.

 

Bump!
I know everyone's mind is full of Roebling right now (and rightly so!) but this one is gonna come up quick once we get back.
I need to track a hotel down.

 

Driver List (May-23)

I'm in HPDE3 #8. L8 you got #88 this time.

 

Won't be at this one, car is still under the knife. I have some parts' coming, here are a few teaser pics....







Also, I will be adding a new oil-pan, heads, cam, and a rear coil-over kit. I am also completing the cage, and getting the door / reattached . Also, while we have the car in, I am rolling the fenders, and moving to 295's all around. Hopefully, this will all be done prior to CMP, but we will see.

 

its a good thing, you got #8, Don Clifford got #76, I would be making something up if I did not get 88.

and we have a Radical in our group, that should be interesting, to get our doors blown off by that thing. will make for good video.

 

I was out there this past weekend with BMWCCA and the track seemed to get pretty greasy as the temp got up in the afternoon, just a warning.

I also cracked my windshield, looks like maybe from stress or maybe from where I ran off as I don't see a mark wher anything hit it. Do y'all think I can get away with running it at NASA once or do I need to try and get it fixed ASAP?? I would like to wait til I had more time so it's not such a hassle to get it done, but I also don't want to get dq'd at tech because of it.

 

i noticed that the track got greasy as the weekend went on last year, and I had to back down a little, and that was in October, I can't imagine what it will be like in June. I remember the Grand Am racers saying that the track had lost grip and lap times were up in general.

As for the windshield, I don't know, on DE cars they check brake lights and helmets, not sure about TT, and not sure what they would say. If it is a big crack, that obstructs your view, I would definitely get it fixed.

 

They haven't been checking squat for DE in tech as L8 said.
However, I wouldn't want to chance my weekend on something I had to replace any way and maybe or maybe not sneak thru tech.

I would either ask them thru email, phone, or Nasaforums - or just get it replaced.
The other thing to remember is Barber is alot stricter about their rules than many tracks, so NASA has to be a little stricter than usual.

Don't forget your long sleeve shirts guys! And pants in some cases

I won't mention the name of the person who rode/drove a session at RR a week ago in shorts..... and we all know the other pants story.

 

does Barber require the long sleeves, I know NASA is allowing the short sleeves in hot weather. Long sleeves in hot weather will be hot as hell.

long pants, check, I have those. Never go to the track without them...now. Someone drove in shorts... oops. It weren't me, I know that.

 

It werzent me either!

 

I just heard lego was going to this.......(lightbulb)...where's he been??? sure has been quiet.....

I see we picked up track god as well.......

 

Barbers doesn't require long sleeve as we were allowed to wear short sleeves this past weekend. I'd bring a set just incase though.

The good think about the windshield is that it is on the passenger side and doesn't come down any further than the rear view so it has basically no obstruction. I'm going to call and check on prices later today if I get a chance.

 

Cool,
I could be wrong but I swore one of the supps last year was long sleeves.

All the better if not, but I will make sure I read the supps when they arrive.
