Dr. Apex Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I was supposed to work tomorrow but can't now thanks to my boss getting fired and another coworker being a no-show now. I will be at the August event, we already have the hotel reserved. Rob, you going to that one? Ray is coming from Chicago for this one.

RS69 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I might be there Saturday afternoon after the Dublin car show. My brother and dad are working at the event and my brother is taking a track course to get this license with his 98 Vette. Matt, I plan to stop over to your garage if I make it.

Tinman Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 so guys how did it go? The results have yet to be posted but I think I ended up with a 5th place finish in TTE with a best lap of 1.47.1 Mid Ohio is not my best track:( The rest of Pakistan Express did very well. !st and 2nd place in the enduro and a win on Sunday. Rob, good to see you there, wish I had more time to chat. Are you going to make the August event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 for the people that are new to road courses what is tte? an what does the enduro conssit of? i assume a longer race obviousily ? TTE = Time Trials Class E. Essentially Time Trials is the step between open lapping or HPDE and wheel to wheel racing. You get 5 15min. sessions to try and post the best lap time. There is open passing but since you are not trying to finish first, only get some good laps in, there are not any aggressive maneuvers or passes. I have not yet gone for my comp. license so that is where I play. The enduro on Friday was a 90 minute race with one required 5 gallon fuel stop. NASA's typical Sat. and Sun. races are 40 minutes with no pit stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty2431 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Do you need your competition L's to go to open track days? I've always wanted to run at mid ohio. I have my standard $60/year SCCA license but just for solo and rallycroass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchy chan Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i don't think you need a competition license for open track days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i don't think you need a competition license for open track days Correct, that's why matt is doing time trials, because he doesn't have his comp liscense yet. The level above where he is at you need them. That's full wheel to wheel where you get 1st ,2nd and so on for the total race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty2431 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 So I could show up to an open track day with my nissan and just the standard SCCA license? Do you have to have the physicals taken care of etc? I'd really like to do this. I have... A car A helmet A firesock A SCCA first gear license (still only 25) A pair of racing shoes Balls as big as a watermellon So could I show up on an open track day and TTE?

If you join NASA for $40-$45 you can run with us at Mid Ohio in August. I'm not sure if your SCCA first gear license will allow you to run in Time Trials but you don't need any license to run HPDE. If you are able to or end up running Time Trials you will most likely be in TTA with your Datsun.

Tinman Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 not sure yet depends on my financial situation. but i will try. I'll be at Nelson Ledges Friday also if you get the itch for some cheap tracktime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchy chan Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) i was going to recommend nelson ledges. $120 for open track days. http://www.nelsonledges.com/GOTFunDays.aspx here are the list of dates of the track days http://www.nelsonledges.com/GOTSchedulesDetail.aspx?eventID=84&thisMonth=8 Edited July 14, 2009 by frenchy chan editing to add another link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some links to check out for more info; [url=]http://www.nasa-tt.com/ To add to what Matt said, and this is just my understaing as I haven't gone through this yet. Read up on the websites to be sure. In NASA you start out in HPDE 1. You 'graduate' from 1 and you go to 2. There is HPDE1-4 and you need to 'graduate' from 4 to go to Time Trials. If 1st gear has to do with autocross, it will likely mean squat with anything having to do with open lapping, whether that be in SCCA or NASA.

matty2431 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Sold. I've been dying to run at mid-ohio and have been trying to figure out how to get up there for awhile now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yup. Just look at NASA's schedule and sign up for the next hpde 1 at mid Ohio. I'm not sure if there are any more there this year though. A group of us will be there for moral support and any questions you might have. Nelson is much cheaper, but afaik no instructor and that track is more dangerous than mid Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
