Is there any info on tech and if I can self tech or use my NASA log book?

No crap, same here. I haven't worked on my car in months because of work and I only have a few things that I really need to do to get it done.

for those that were asking, here is a provisional schedule, which has not been signed off on by h2r yet but should be good to go. for you TxMC drivers there may be a slight change in procedure due to complications beyond our control. those of you that work well under pressure may like it!

8am - gates open
8:45am - drivers meeting
9am - track hot

9am - TT1
9:25 - TT2
9:50 - TT3
10:15 - TT4
10:35-10:40 track check

10:45 - TT1
11:10 - TT2
11:35 - TT3
12:00 - TT4
12:25 - 1pm track cold, lunch served 11:30 - 1pm, track check

1pm - TT1
1:25 - TT2
1:50 - TT3
2:15 - TT4
2:35 - 2:40 track check

2:45 - TT1
3:05 - TT2
3:25 - TT3
3:45 - TT4

4:00 - TT timing starts
5:00 - track cold/awards

OK I have about a billion questions but I will limit it to two:
1. I assume the TT1 - TT4 classes are split by driver experience (as usual) and not by the car?
2. I see the "4:00 - TT timing starts" period on the schedule. Am I inferring correctly or incorrectly that we will be timed for awards in that session only? And if this is the correct inference, is everyone on the track at once for that timing session? If so, IMO, that is a recipe for chaos.

Got up to late. By the time I get there I will have to be coming right back. Have a class I have to be at tomorrow. Enjoy the sweltering heat.

Well that was an interesting day. On my first lap I get black flagged for having an exhaust too loud. They registered it at a 117, but there is no way in hell. Over 99, yes, but no way a 117. So I went to get a muffler to strap on and as soon as we rig this crap up and get back out there, the track catches on fire to end the day. I will upload pictures of both later if I can figure out where they are.

The track? :eek5:

wow. Glad I didnt drive just to watch. I'd be ticked I had driven 3 hours to get there to find out that track was closed and have to face driving 3 hours straight back.

Heard spoolin ran a 1:26.2 on 225 NT01's....wowsa!

You guys need to slow down!

Yeah, JZ is manly. I got out there and tried to throw down a lap but I'm 4-seconds behind, lol. It was 101*f by that time, I was already on greasy tires, and did I mention it was 100*f+? On my cool down I was cruising in 6th and still managed to dorifto the car at 3500rpm, in 6th.

Few laps of the event here:

Can someone please post a video where they are NOT passing me?!?!?!?

lol

How about this, the next person who posts a video of me getting passed gets banned and their ass kicked?

Some say he's stingy with the reacharound, Some say he's Shumi in the wet stuff, all we know is, he's called The Hustler..

Things are looking up at least.

Some say that he can open beer bottles telekinetically, and that his chassis setup is a State secret protected by the NSA. All we know is, he's called the Hustler.

I like the direction this thread is going.
