Thanks Fixxxer. I'll do as many as possible, my goal is to get out there for them. I have a free track day in a Boss 302 waiting for me out there. Hmmm might be time to cash in on that.

I look forward to seeing you all at the track sometime. And don't let Crawford fool you, he's no slouch behind the wheel either

I plan on doing one more event this year. I will be at Road Atlanta for the NASA SE regions final race the first weekend in December.

Any chance you'll be there? It's the farthest track I'll ever go to. I think it's about a 9 hours drive for me.

I will for sure...we should chat before you come down. We can split a room if you want. I live about 90 mins from the track...so i normally stay real close tot he track...well because I am Laze1

But you can hang out at my house before and after if needed...or use my home garage for emergency repairs...

Thanks so much laze. I am coming down with another guy here on this forum. Sig11 I believe his forum name is. We are going to camp out at the track to save some money and we like camping out. We are coming down Friday. We wanted to do all three days but it looks like there is only an enduro on Friday.

I look forward to meeting u and having a fun weekend. When do they post the entry list on the webpage? Just curious if I have any chance at winning some Hoosiers.

Well Kids, I won the inaugural NASA-SE Spec Z Championship over 3 other drivers. I only won 1 race, and in most races we only had 2 cars. But I will proudly take the trophy and the associated bragging rights

2nd: Micheal Birchfield
3rd: Clark Crawford (raced at Nationals--4th place I think)
4th: Bill Stienhoff (race at nationals but crashed hard)

hey laze, I missed the dinner. Did they say if I or Tom won the FFR championship? They were recalculating the numbers earlier due to some listed errors.

Congratulations again, John! Was great meeting you and sharing some beers. I was going to come by and say hi after the last session but you had already left.

Congrats, John!

Does anyone know what the requirement is for the "Driver Championship" Award? http://www.nasaproracing.com/conting...%20Edition.pdf

I know you need 3 racers each day for the race day contingency from NISSAN, but I can't tell if that same requirement holds for the driver championship. Calls and emails to Nissan have gone without response of course.
