I guess this is a roll call. Just seeing if anyone plans on being at Lowes Motor Speedway this friday with NASA.

 

i think karl and shane were going. don't know if karl got the car fixed up yet.

 

My name is George, I am a long time luker on this board (as you can tell by my post count).

It will be my first time at Lowes. I'm hoping to get someone to ride with me the first session. Do you guys think that will be possible?

 

For HPDE?

Come find the 87 red spec miata. I will help you out. (or sam)

 

My car is not fixed yet as I am still waiting on parts. Luckily I have everything I need here on my street car if the parts dont arrive in time.

In addition to me there are also a couple H4 cars running, both the crx of Michael Keena-Levin, and the civic of Michael Stoiber. Overall turnout seems low for this one, definitely not a full house.

 

im glad i didnt plan on lowes, boss has family intown short notice, ive been running the boats full time this week as well as a 4th of july Firework show on the water.. its been a crazy week.
looks like August is gonna be the same with everyone on vacation except me...

 

what about vir on a couple weeks?

 

Not sure about VIR.... Jim will be in Europe, so it could be good timing.. it will be one of those, time only tells. : what about john?

 

I think John will be at vir.

still waiting on UPS for my uca, looks like I will be up early tomorrow to get in and registered.

 

Not going to make it to Loews. Just got a new job and no vacation saved up yet.
I might be 'sick' for Friday for VIR.
Still waiting to hear back from NASA on whether or not they'll give me a check ride so I can run in the Grassroots UTCC.

 

Small turnout but the accord and I had a great battle for overall with six hayabusa powered thunder roadsters, and when the dust settled the Honda had the lead and two wins.

 

Seriously? There should be a number of NASA-MA regulars that can attest to your driving ability (myself included). If you need a recommendation or anything, just put the word out.

 

you got video right?

 

word

 

I've been in contact with Greg Greenbaum and Jon Felton. Jon said my track experience is not an issue. It is just a matter of getting me a check ride before the event. I'm not even signed up for the event yet because I've been waiting to hear back from him on whether they can check ride me the day of the event.

I think it may have something to do with an incident a few years too. I signed up for a NASA weekend in the Advance group and requested an instructor. Some NASA official told me that advance students shouldn't need an instructor and that maybe I shouldn't be in that group. I think I said something along the lines that Michael f'ing Schumacher even has f'ing instructors. I've basically boycotted NASA events since then and it is obviously now biting me back.

 

that was an awesome battle to watch by the way


I was standing on the inside turn one wall for race one. great place to watch. during the practice session someone spun and started heading right for us.

i was racing in race 2 but got punted into the guardrail in turn four someone used me as a brake.

 

nice work karl!!

 

That was a great race, watched it from my corner station on turn 6. And by corner station I mean 2 concrete barriers that were falling apart.

 

so...... when do we get video?

 

theres lots of video on the nasa southeast forum.

 

i saw a few of em.. i wanted to see Mr. Karls video.. something i can relate to.

 

lol. I can show you my video of me getting punted into the wall and yelling vulgar expressions

It will be ready to view in a couple hours

 

karl nice video how fast are you going in nascar 3 and 4

 

I dont know, my speedo only reads 130mph. I would guess top speed of 145 with about 140 through the banking.
