Yes, thats a Grand Am Koni Challenge car, I'll be running in a NASA Southeast Club Event, but the car is the real deal. Hope to see how I stack up to their drivers by comparing our numbers from the data acquisition system, etc, etc.

It should lap somewhere in the 1:40.0-1:42.0 range (89-91mph average) , my previous best in my 1991 NA was 1:52.5 (81mph average) ... Just a wee bit faster

and since its not insanely powerful, there will be a good bit of that time made up in the corners, which I find alot more fun to do

yeah, can't wait or anything...

if you ever need someone to hold your pit board I'm always game :-D

(oops, i guess not, i read you were racing grand am, then i re-read and saw you were racing nasa, iirc nasa doesnt use pit boards

)

kbrew8991 · 11-11-2008, 11:37 PM

I'm sure I'll need help with something in the future - have that plane ticket ready just in case

chicagoisonfire · 11-11-2008, 11:40 PM

anytime anywhere!

I want to race my 2, but I need to work on a funding issue first

BertoneFP19 · 11-11-2008, 11:48 PM

What do you have to do to go? (license, saftey gear, entey fee). I haven't
ran there since 2005. Be side have seven MR2s, I road race a bertone
X1/9 & held the track record there from 1999 to 2003 (143:2). Would like to
pull the cover off the old girl & have a little fun, haven't ran since
Nashville in June. I run with scca, don't know very much about nasa?

kbrew8991 · 11-12-2008, 12:08 AM

they're a newer, younger, hipper version of SCCA really - a few new things, but when you boil it down its nearly identical except with different faces.

If your SCCA race license is current you could hop on out there with them as each club honors the others race licenses now - 8hr enduro fri, sprints sat & sun.

What class did you build your X1/9 for?

BertoneFP19 · 11-12-2008, 08:11 PM

I built it for F Production, not much left of the stock version.

kbrew8991 · 11-19-2008, 10:41 PM

they'd have a spot for you - I love them because they're a laid back group but not too unserious either

just the right mix
