VIR in october anyone?

travisjb · 09-13-2013, 10:29 PM

that's terrific... VIR 2013 records are below... TTB looks like a good place to be. I'll be running TT2 but last time out I was 5 seconds off that pace - I can probably find 2-4 seconds but I won't be beating that # this year most likely. TT2/3 are based upon power to weight ratios, but TT3 has some aero restrictions you'll want to check out. Scroll to bottom of this page and check out the TT classing rules if you haven't already NASA Class and Series Rules - National Auto Sport Association - nasaproracing.com

TT2 2:04.631 2/17/2013 Joe Mulholand Chevrolet Corvette
TT3 2:06.771 2/17/2013 Olivier Raoust BMW M3
TTA 2:01.525 10/13/2012 Mark Nunnally Chevrolet Corvette Z06
TTB 2:08.320 3/27/2010 Eric Wong BMW M3
TTC 2:11.056 10/9/2011 Scott Blair BMW M3

2 11 seems like an overreach on stock z in ttc

That was the only place my suitcase had been since I had put the money in it.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be staying in the sleep inn in Danville. It had pretty good reviews from what I saw. Hope it is not too bad for a "budget" hotel.

I stayed there before, it is not bad at all. Make sure you fill up your tank in the morning

takjak2 · 09-14-2013, 12:46 PM

TT3 is the place for a 370Z under the 2013/2014 rules but if a TT3 corvette shows up you can expect to lose.

Yes, I learned the hard way at Summit Point. Are there pumps at the track? If so are they ridiculously expensive?

cossie1600 · 09-14-2013, 07:11 PM

Yes they are about 50 cents more. Also bring 4 credit cards, use before each sessions. Else it would suck to have them decline your card after two uses. I still say bring at last one 5 gal jug if possible

We had that happen to some people at Summit Point. Started declining cards. And seeing as the 370's fueling system is so good, it's not like you'll have to fill up after every run!...... :|

my mods make me a TTA (37 points) or TT2 3200/340 plus a .5 for aero = 8.91 I think.

takjak2 · 09-16-2013, 02:51 PM

TTA no longer exists.

NASA TT weight is as you come off the track, driver and everything you are wearing included. You can add up to 250 lbs of ballast.

If I come off with a near empty tank, I'm at 3200 with me in the car. I was 3300 with 3/4 tank when I got weighed at VIR last event.

I forgot about the 14 base points I also have to add for being a sport model. Wonder if they would let me go with the 7 point of a base instead, since aside from the SRM, every upgrade from the sport has been replaced, and those replacements also add points. Looks like double taxation to me.

should be a great time with several of us there! We will outnumber the spec Zs probably!

travisjb · 09-16-2013, 06:49 PM

TT2 is the place for you!

Not being in TT2 is worth 50 lbs of ballast or a full tank of gas
