Happy New Year!!!!!! We hope to see many of you at our annual NASA party on Feb 4 in Richmond. Go to the website for details.

VIR Full Course is our first event of 2006, and we want you to be there!
(1) We need experienced flaggers for Sat/Sun and will also provide training for those interested. Experienced flaggers receive $75 per day, and all others receive worker credits.
(2) We need 2 people who can work Thurs night, Friday all day and receive a full weekend's worth of credits for that time.
(3) We also need an extra 1-2 people who can work on Friday at grid.
(4) And, we need the usual number of workers who can help with grid, timing and scoring, registration, etc over the weekend. Please post here if you can work and also e-mail me at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:laura@nasaracing.net">laura@nasaracing.net</a><!-- e -->.

<Also, I still have a few worker books and other unfinished business from 2005, and I promise :oops: I will get to that soon! You know who you are! Thanks for your patience while we have been going through sleepless nights and holiday craziness with a new baby.>

Hope to see you soon at the party or VIR!
Laura Cobetto, Event Planner

In 2005, I tried three new tracks - Road Atlanta, Barber, and Nurburgring. In 2006 I'd like to add Road Atlanta, Mosport, and Mont Tremblant. Those tracks will likely be done under the stewardship of PCA or BWMCCA, but I am still researching their schedules (it's quite difficult with so many regions). If anybody knows of two events that are back-to-back at Mosport and Mt. Tremblant, please let me know as I'd like to make it a road trip.

Also plan on getting my SCCA Comp License in March once I find more info - hope to buy a ride in an enduro car at some point this season.

Why do you want to limit body roll on a car? I'm curious to see how many people actually know this, and how many just think that they do.

RJ is not allowed to answer this, because I know he already knows the correct answer .

Here ya go:











Sorry bout the pictures, I was giddy.

Clicky!
Lol I thought that was kind of funny. Was probably some guy's film class project or something.

Took my car in for an oil change to a friend of mine who is my mechanic and he noticed that my rotors are really worn and my pads are almost shot.

I figure this is a good excuse to go ahead and upgrade to slotted rotors, swap out the lines for SS ones, and get some good street pads that have good stopping power in the cold, wet, and hot.

Any suggestions? What have you guys liked in the past? Realize I'm not looking for a track pad, nor something that makes a lot of noise. Minimal brake dust is always a plus, but it doesn't bother me a whole lot considering this car will probably always have either black or gunmetal rims.

It's driven by a supposed pro driver. You can def tell the guy is really pushing the car, the link should work

Enjoy!

trip down memory lane

--new thread because i lost the old one and am too lazy to find it

Guys, I just checked the place out and it looks good. Realtor said it has been empty for a while so we could make a lower offer and it would likely be accepted.

It gets my seal of approval so you guys ought to go check it out. It has TONS of space to store shit and I claim the room upstairs on the right

BTW, we need a fourth. It is Gerald, BJ, and myself. Who is in? No pigs need apply. You are expected to clean up after yourself and I assume we'll have a chore rotation to ease the basics.
