JCBCPA Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 This link has all the information about the NASA Mid-Ohio event. https://www.nasaproracing.com/nasa_event/show/?event_id=203 This link has all the information about the Ohio/Indiana Region of NASA. http://www.racenasa.com/ Road course racing is not about horsepower. You have to turn both left and RIGHT. And to use your brakes, not just to slow down at the end of quarter mile straight run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redracerx Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Well he does have the suspension set up for road racing, its more off a high speed racer to begin with. At 687 rwhp he lost in a 1/4 mile race to a camaro with the LS1( I think, don't know much about American cars.) Initial accelleration sux, but it hits 180mph so...

JCBCPA Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Mid-Ohio Course is a 15-turn, 2.4-mile layout, Not a five mile downhill straight away. Sign up and bring it out and show what you got. You can rent a transponder to get offical time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCBCPA Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 But seriously Jon before you come out and embarrass yourself on a road course I would suggest you take the car to some autocross events. It will be cheaper and it is timed. You will learn how the car reacts and can make adjustments. This is the link to the events locally. http://www.ovr-scca.org/eventSchedules/solo.asp. They also have loaner helmets for "newbies". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont belong out on a road course with other poeople until you get some schooling, and that is never more apparent then after the class, when you say "damn, I thought I knew shit, but I didn't". It runs about $195 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/QB]Hey if you are doing all the HPDE, this deal will save you $$$$$. For sale is a certificate that is a season pass for 2005 Ohio-Indiana Region HPDE. This pass was won by a NASA member at Mid-Ohio last year however she is going to be unable to use it due to college obligations. Make a serious offer if you are interested and I'll see what Cindy says about it. Keep in mind that this certificate is for all 7 HPDE weekends in the Ohio-Indiana Region ONLY and that these events, if paid for 'out of pocket' will probably cost you over $2100. The first 3 events alone cost $1005. Contact Fast Saleen (Brian Flint), for more info or if you have a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
