Looking like im out for this event, due to recent master cylinder problems and timing. Catch you guys in April!

I just want to put a feeler out...my brother is coming up on Sunday from Raleigh and I would love to get him a ride on track. He's always been a car/Mustang guy and for the last few years was car builder/crew chief/ spotter for a friend that was running a mini-nascar style team (1/2 mile and under asphalt). I think the owner/driver might be coming with him too. Anyway, if anyone in the advanced groups could hold a seat for a session on Sunday I would really appreciate it. I'd love for him to get a taste of the twisties.

Im sure I could catch him a ride in my car, but if he likes mustangs maybe sitting on grid for HPDE4.
And Navin, wats the master cylinder issue? Just replace it?
BTW how was the FATT?

Requisite of 3 and mandated pit stops. Theres going to be serious competition among even pro-drivers there. Ready to have our asses handed to us :lol: At least theres a free t-shirt for us.
Re: NASA-MA VIR full course Mar 25-27 2011 - BLINGMW - 03-16-2011
that's fine, do you know if having 4 people is a handicap? I mean, are there only 2 mandated pit stops because it's set up for 3 drivers or are there more?

For a 90min race like this one, it's two drivers minimum and two pit stops minimum (to make things more fair for the 3-driver teams, i.e. a 2-person team will be doing one driver switch and one stop & go.) 4 drivers is a disadvantage if you're going for an overall win, because an extra stop automatically puts you a lap down.
120min races are another story, like we do at SPK... usually 3 driver/3 stop minimum, for instance <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1234">https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1234</a><!-- m --> ... 4 driver teams can certainly be competitive at those.

I'm interested. What's the cost, if I'm not doing anything else at VIR that weekend?

As long as I'm not the only person just going to watch... I don't want to stand around by myself all day lol.
Re: NASA-MA VIR full course Mar 25-27 2011 - Jake - 03-16-2011
I know there are a few people looking to go and spectate.

Well, I guess even if I was the only one I could just bring a camera and a case of beer to keep me company. lol
Re: NASA-MA VIR full course Mar 25-27 2011 - Jake - 03-16-2011
A camera and case of beer sound like great ideas regardless!
