well is almost time to start the planning of Nationals 07 for me. a few of us Texas guys were already talking about the trip andsomeone mentioned having the F-body community help out if they could. last year Kevin Glaser saved my ass when on saturday durring qual i had an accesory bracket fail causing a loss of power stearing and no alt. i managed to finish qual and run the satuday race thanks to him getting a replacement bracket for me. w/out his help, i have no doubt my Nationals trip would have not been as sucessful.
point is, i think we should rally the f-body community to show up @ Nationals and have an f-body suport crew. thoughts? |

I will be there but I might not be running. I'm willing to help anyone out and would accept help for anyone that might offer it... More f-body guys would be great in any capacity.

Your butt seemed to do just fine with your driving, you didn't need me. Having power steering was nice, but you seemed to muscle that thing around just fine without it. Not that I mind helping out and I'll gladly come back. QUOTE (mitchntx @ Mar 9 2007, 09:57 AM) I'm still carrying scars from that weekend ... Now, Mitch's butt was nearly the cats meow....or something like that. Either way, Mitch's was in more danger than yours Glenn. Of course I could introduce you to Midnight.....

Team spirit I like it! Mid OH is realatively close, so I might as well take advantage of that. I'm asking for the time off work to go to Nationals to be a spectator, if nothing else, just to see what it is about. I'm new to Nasa and racing in general. I plan to go to a few NASA HPDE's this year and possibly time trial. I'll try and find the F-body guys so I can put some names with the faces, see what I can learn, and help out where I can. |

My wife and I plan to be there. We're having the car shipped, so I'm not sure where we'll be or any of the logistics at this point. But she's easy to find, as there aren't a whole lot of chicks wearing driving suits.

I'll be there to crew for my MW region AI/CMC buddies but if nothings broken there I can always spin a wrench.
If I make the comp school at the first event, I might go drive (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) |

this sounds great guys. i would also like to see if you guys could rally suport w/ your local F-body clubs too. i'll be hitting up the other f-body sites in the comming weeks but the best help is from those who know the sport. obviously we will get everyone we can in under the crew slots. i think this year will be big.

As Jason already said, we're planning on being there. Heck, I've already got a hotel room. I know camping there is better but I just don't see how we can do it as we're planning on flying in and shipping the car. I often camp at Buttonwillow and it really IS great to be at the track all weekend.
Last year I kicked myself for months for not going. Not going to miss it again. If anything happens, I can't imagine not at least being there in person, minus car or what. Christine |

last year i slept at the track from the day we arrived on Monday till the following Sunday. Sunday night my primary sponsor (Moonlite Printing and Graphics - thanks Kevin!) got me a room @ a B&B. that was nice.
i know this is early for planning this type of stuff, but its better than waiting around tillthe last minute. |

Chris and I will be sharing a garage. As Jason says, we will not be hard to find! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Bro-in-law pit crew will be there to support CMC #37. He wants to drive out with the car the crazy nut - I'll fly out and drive back with him. If all goes as planned I'll be attending the school Monday-Tues.
I look forward to meeting many of you I have not already met in person! |
