I'll be there on Sat. I stopped into Gruppe-sex just about an hour ago. The car looks good. Slightly modified, haaa

 

what time does it start? ne one can go and watch right?

 

+1 on that info, is there entrance fee or anything? I tihkn my buddy and i might wanna go check it out.

 

Since it is a NASA weekend, anyone can get it. The cost will be $10 a head, and the day starts early. I don't know what time their race will be though.

You can probably find info at www.nasaproracing.com

Very nice and very cool! Good luck to Brian.

However, I can't help but think that white wheels would look way better :-)

Don't you think?

 

FWIW. The WRX is in pretty rough shape.

Yesterday during the TT warmup, Brian and the WRX got 2 3/4 laps under thier belts, each of which looked very good. It was pulling very hard and passing just about everyone on the track.

Just as Brian came out of the carousel on the straight before turn 7 a puff of white smoke was seen on camera and the cockpit soon filled with smoke.

Brian: "The engine let go". Mike "the reaper" Warfield: "Sorry Mate" LOL

Mike and Tommy packed up the WRX and bought it down to Gruppe-S for an engine swap. Tommy set his pesonal best with a 5hr swap time.( Get a life hoser Haaa). As of 11pm lastnight, The WRX has a date with a Rocket Launcher. Everything was replaced and still no go. Hats off to Mike and TOmmy, two hard workin' ****'s.

Later reports from Brian were that it was a blast running the WRX unlimited. USTCC and Grand Am have put a wrench in the spokes when it comes to running a ***** out Subie in competition

 

LOL

 

so no times?

 

the 2 3/4 laps break down like this:

Lap 1: Out lap, full course yellow, cars scrubbing tires
Lap 2: First Green lap, not a good run onto the front straight because the green was thrown kinda late. Had to pass a few cars too
Lap 3: motor goes out of the carosel.

So the only timed lap was lap 2, and it wasn't a very goog representation of what that car could have done that day. He was barely pushing, just warming things up, on some old tires, and still managed a 1.52.xx on the long 7 config. Warm up times didn't count though, so we officially scored no laps. But we will get a fresh engine next time and we'll really see how fast he can go.

 

I think that the car had about a 1:45 in it. I could have turned at least a sub 1:50 with tires I had in warm-up, and with the wider slicks that we had waiting for us we would have dropped another 3 or 4 seconds. But oh well, all we can do is speculate. Hopefully we get to run the car again with real power, it was a blast while it lasted .

 

too bad this session didn't count

Sorry to hear that the car threw in the towel. Hopefully you and the team are back at it in no time.
Good luck!

 

white rims are hawt but show brake dust too much on a race car
