I attended my first NASA event last week and had a lot of fun. See you guys there.

 

Hmmm, I was planning on going to the Speed Ventures event the weekend before that also at Willow Springs. They are about the same price (SV is $5 cheaper), but I have never run with Speed Ventures before. NASA will probably be more crowded though. Which one do you want to do Rick?

 

After running with both, I have to say that you'll probably get significantly more track time with SpeedVentures. They usually run 25 minute sessions, and sometimes have open sessions in late afternoon. I was definitely disappointed with the amount of track time I got at BWillow last week, particularly since I'm trying to dial-in my suspension. Both groups are well-run and organized. NASA's download sessions are a good idea for safety purposes, particularly for Groups 1 and 2.

I'm not sure if I'm going to do either though. My wallet is hurting a bit. If I do one though, it will be the Speedventures event for one day...on Saturday the 2nd.

 

I saw that. I dunno I may do both. The reason why I like NASA is to learn the line

 

I will probably do the NASA event because I like talking to and hanging out with the SE-R cup guys. And I am getting my NASA log book full, which will help me in getting a NASA license eventually.

 

I just got a call from a guy I met at the Touring Car Club event we went to Skrill. He said they are having a Buttonwillow event on the 9th and 10th as well. It's only $125.

I like Buttonwillow much better than Big Willow. I think it's a lot more fun. You guys have any interest in BWillow again, or are you into Big Willow for a change?

Damn...too many track days, not enough time or money!!!

 

Forgot to say...total track time for Speedventures is usually multiple hours. I usually have so much track time that I go home early and can't even finish the day.

 

I want to try Big Willow since I have never run there before. Buttonwillow is awesome, but I have driven it twice now. I think I am going to stick with my origional plan of going with SV unless everybody else decides to do NASA, then I will become a weak minded follower lol.

 

What turned out to be the issue with your pulleys?

 

Somehow both of the bolts that hold the tensioner pullies on came loose and fell off. Only one pulley completely fell off at the track, but it was saved by the diffuser piece. I had to order new belts and hardware to put the pulleys back on. I have the belts already and am waiting on the hardware to get here.
