You going to make it to the B100 this year? Should be BIG FUN this time around. Jeff and I are looking to make up for not even getting to the start line last weekend at the NORC.
and for anyone that might be on the fence about doing an ORR event this is a good one to hit. Great host hotel and the start line is only 2 miles away. Lots of fast cars and good people. |

Thanks for the pointers Andy! I plan to check lug nuts & tire temps after my practice session. When I talked to Mike B, he said I would probably only get to run the 1/2 mile shootout since I'm a rookie. Since my car will tech for the 168 class, and going straight is my fortee, I'm hoping I can talk them into letting us run the mile. I'd like to see how close to 170 I could get. And we looked at the Nady but bought the Chatterbox intercom for about the same price.

Good luck with Mike Borders, I have found him to be a generally reasonable person. There is a certain phenomena they tell the rookies about at the TX events that involves tunnel vision and difficulty comprehending speech when the speeds go over 120mph for lengthy periods. They relate it mostly to drivers and warn the navi's to be on the lookout for it. I don't know where they got the info or if it is based on 10 years of running the event. I have never experienced it until THIS year and it wasn't me, it was my rookie navi and it was really weird. It lasted for the first 25 miles of the first leg. Enjoy the event- you are doing what tons of people talk about but few actually realize. The ORR segment of the racing population is very,very small so enjoy being part of a unique group -- and BE SAFE! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) |
