To pile on to Mitch's post...  The reason we broke out the GT class into the divisions was to see era-compatible cars running together.  If they ran in both periods then they are allowed to run in both divisions.  They don't necessarily have to have run against each other in period, just that they played in approximately the same sandbox is good enough.

The true intent is to not have McLarens running against Audi R8's.

I wish I could've made it but it was a Sat work night for me, and I am back at the cube for the rest of my week.  Looking forward to another opportunity though...  Looked like it'd be a fun place to hang out...

...I mean race.

HEY!!!!  Keep that up and you might lose your nickname!  Congrats!

That Bill guy sure is a tough friend to have...

I'm still searching for how to quantify my results for the year.  It has a full spectrum of opportunity from good to bad and ugly...

Good: Top ten!!

Bad: Last...

Ugly: Tied with Bostic!

I will definitely need to try harder in the coming season.  Tip of the hat to Al though, and yes, the cars and drivers have all gotten quite a bit faster since my last visit to Rippin Ridin Raceway.

At least I'll probably get a top 10 finish!

By rules, I assume you mean Class 6 listed here:

http://www.naste.org/racerules.cfm

Presently quantified as:

_____________________________________________________________________________

Class 6 - Over 50

Cars eligible for the Over 50 Class will be cars with a mass produced chassis that was available in a kit or RTR (ready to run i.e. Cox, Strombecker, Revell, etc.). That also includes the chassis only kits, such as those manufactured by Dynamic.

No modifications will be allowed to the chassis (as in the addition of weight pans or handling pans).

Legal motors will be the 36D cans, as well as the motors that were used before the 36Ds became the standard (i.e. Kemtron, Pitman, Atlas, Tyco, etc.). I know what you're thinking; there is a lot of disparity between those listed motors and chassis types. True. So what I see is a possibility of a number of divisions within the class as this class of racing progresses. The cars will be raced all together, but finish positions will be scored according to division. The cars motor type, chassis type, and body type (either clear plastic type or injection molded model type) will be factors determining divisions within the class. I will be recording and keeping track of each cars lap times as well as number of laps completed during the races. At some point we may have enough data to combine some of the class divisions based on similar performance. 

MINIMUM rear tire diameter shall be 1 1/8 inch!

I can neither confirm nor deny where this footage may or may not have been shot, but I do remember that I had a wonderful 4th!

Anyone talk to Al?  Will he sign up?  I'll happily sign him up but would like to do it with his blessing.

I might even just sign me up and if we are selected, drop the cars off with him.

Also, we found out that Bill has given-eth a new nickname/racername to Zack- ProZack!  I think the shoe fits!

This is the background on it:

The takeaway is we apply and if accepted, will receive 10 911 GT3's to run a 5 race, single marque series and publish the results to NSR and presumably, the rest of the world.  It appears that tuning/parts swapping is allowed but with NSR parts only.

I would venture that we should submit with Al as our representative for the group.  If he reads this before tonight, I'm sure he can confirm or pass.  Otherwise, we can all discuss this tonight.

Regardless, it sounds like a fun program if we get selected.
