[D_Eclipse9916]

oh we only need 3 people? I'll go ahead and sign up then. We just Madison Motorsports, or do we need some silly team name?

Yeah did you sign up? JW. Want to make sure we have a spot.

[Jake]

I'll be doing a Saturday-only day of HPDE 2 in Big Sixy.

[G.Irish]

I'll be driving the WRX. Hopefully I'll be able to sign up next week.

Please register BEFORE the slots fill up, ok? :roll:

Done and done

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

[Steve85]

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.

[D_Eclipse9916]

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?

[BLINGMW]

yes yes, all set. Not sure from the description if we're supposed to have 3 or 4 drivers, do they even mandate pit stops?

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.

[BLINGMW]

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?

[getfast]

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?

[TorinoCobra070]

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.

[Jake]

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

[Jake]

A camera and case of beer sound like great ideas regardless!

Ill have 3 seats open for anybody that wants to throw in for a few gallons of gas.
