Thanks for the thoughts, Dave! Like horsepower, you can NEVER have too many skills (although this wasn't what I had in mind)!

One other thing was apparent. The level of preparation for the NASA Nationals continues to escalate. One team (with multiple Mazda RX8s, including a turbo PTB entry) was rumoured to have tested for TWO WEEKS before the Nationals. They were bummed when they didn't win PTB...

I've heard the TT competition at Nationals is very competive, as well.

Congrats on running a clean weekend. Must have been hairy at times running in the wet with that group of cars.

Extremely. Last year I ran my street 350Z in TTB competition at the Nationals and found out just how competitive it is. Fully stripped cars. Multiple sets of tires. Renting the track for days in advance of the event. Not that I had any of those advantages, but I still had a good time lowering my times each session out.

BTW- NASA announced next years Nationals will be held at Miller Motorsports Park!
