Elise/Exige.
- Class 2/2R is for engines over 2.2 liters, but under 4.0 liters, plus Honda S2000.
- Class 3/3R is for engines over 3.9 liters, plus Lotus Elise/Exige.
- Class S2000 is only for Honda S2000 on street tires.

Rotary engine multiplies displacement by 2.0. Usage of forced induction multiplies displacement by 1.5. (This is in addition to the rotary multiplier, if applicable.) Tires with a wear rating under 140 must use the R class.

NTAXS season points update.

Armstrong Vongsavath has won the S2000 class and will receive a free entry into a 2014 event of his choice.

Mike McShane has won Class 1, so he will also receive a free entry in 2014.

Kenny Baker has won Class 1R. Chalk down a free 2014 entry there too.

Class 2 is still up in the air with Chris Hunt at 20 points and Chris Fithian at 18 points. One of them will get a free entry in 2014.

Ken Orgeron has won class 2R, netting a free 2014 entry.

There will be no winner for Class 3 since no one will have attended three events.

Class 3R is a battle between David Jones (15 points), Joseph Kan (11 points), Michael Reck (10 points), and Mark Wortham (7 points). All four drivers have only run two events in this class, so they need to attend the 11/18 event in order to be eligible.

Remember, the position points are:
9 points- First place
6 points- Second place
4 points- Third place
3 points- Fourth place
2 points- Fifth place
1 point – Sixth place and all other participants in class

Congratulations to the class winners thus far, and good luck to those still fighting.

 

Free entries are for 2013, not 2014. I wrote that while I was visiting next year. I don't want to spill much about the future, but we need to be friendlier to the apes.

 

Yup....probably.

 

Adam, this will be the last one....come on out and drive.

We all will be there !

 

I'm hoping to make this one, but there's a strong possibility of working out of town that weekend.

 

Don't listen to Eric....he will be there ! He just doesn't know it yet.

 

I'm pretty sure Chris p is going to Co drive my car since his tires are shot so we should both be out there. I'm leaving for the airport to go pick it up from Michael here in a few minutes.

 

Glad for you Pat....should be fun in Michaels Z.....well yours now !

 

I just got word that the concession stand will be open from 11 AM to 3 PM. They have some decent grub there, so feel free to leave the brown bag at home.

 

Course for 11/18 NTAXS event.

 

I'm registered.

 

Only 20 spots left. They tend to fill up these last few days, so sign up before it fills.

 

Here is the layout of the site. Please make sure that you leave a lane open along the inside of the north fence for access to grid.

If you have anyone coming to watch, there is shade and view of the entire course from under the grandstands. Feel free to climb the grandstands and watch from the top.

The food stand will be open, so bring some cash for grub.

 

I'm assuming you are still allowing ride alongs for spectators provided they have the appropriate helmet?

 

No problem with passengers 16 and older. 16 & 17 need a minor waiver with parent signatures. 18 and older is just the normal waiver. And helmets.
