New event kickoff!

[Bill Howell]

It seems I am able to post more and more of these new events now, and that is a good thing. If we are to keep this hobby healthy, we have to prove ourselves.
DSE and Baer have put together another new event for next year and in case you have missed it in the events section, I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention. I talked to Kyle about the event some at Daytona Turkey Run. They are really serious about this being another premier event for us and I for one can not wait to attend. SO, anyone near Nebraska that has been saying nothing ever happens here can man up and attend. We will get a group together and road trip up, and hopefully several will join us. Be sure and check out the website about it, register and watch the site for updates. Not all the rules are ironed out right now, but watch for exciting news soon.

That's great news Bill and I'm sure these guys will do a first class job of things,,, just look at there professionalism throughout their organizations. Needless to say I've signed up and I'm really looking forward to the event this Spring.

For all those working on winter builds make this your key milestone to have them completed. I for one get a lot more done under pressure and have 2 builds this winter. I plan on both of them making it to Nebraska for a proper shakedown.


ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scott Parkhurst]

Sounds great Bill!

I've got some upgrades planned for the winter...this might be the perfect place to test them!

[tazzz25906112]

[BADNBLK]

Sweet!!! Unless I figure out a way to break something I will plan on attending... pretty sure I even have some family in Hastings?

I feel like a slug. I can't wait to see what you have in store.

This isn't too far from me. If The car is ready, I would certainly head out. I've been itching to get on the track at Hastings anyway!

Good thing about this crew is we have more cars than drivers. We should be able to find you a steering wheel in the pile. You the type of guy who needs a roof?

How about you drive out here and we can drive to NB together.. lol

[BADNBLK]

Is there anything specific that I should be concerned about in Tech/Safety inspection? The link is a little vauge on vehicle requirements other than year and engine.

Well , I like a roof .
I feel ....safer.
But , beggars can't be choosers , and if you're offering the Black '65 Corvette Roadster , then my arm could be twisted into driving it... !!! LOL

[shmoov69]

Sounds like a blast! I'm sure it will be top notch! Waaay beyond my skill level tho! Lol.
We'll see if I can make it when it gets closer.

If it's anything like the NASA HPDE requirements, they'll check muffler operation, wheel bearings, tires, brakes, signs of oil leaks.

Basically the car needs to be in like new shape and operation. If there's wet oil on the underside, worn out brake pads, cracked tires, wheels with too much play in the bearing etc, you probably won't pass tech.

But, then, it's probably not safe just to drive said vehicle to the event.

Oil leaks... its a third gen that's what they do I'm sure I can get my little leak take care of before the event. Everything else is a no problemo. Ordering some new BFG KDW2's next month.

Is this an event that if I only wanted to run autocross, and not the road racing is that ok? or we looking for an overall king of the hill event... I'm not gonna be that for sure... Little underpowered with current engine.
