Ron · 03-19-2003

Thanks for the feedback, looking forward to getting out to the track.

Tony, glad to hear you have the twins running again. It has been a long dry spell for you.

Ron,

They're not running yet

, but soon

Trying to get them running for Knott's. Hope to see you there and everyone else

I too can't wait to get to the track. Been drag racing, but I want to do some real driving. HDPE sounds like the ticket for now. Need some ed-jama-cation first

Hello from the Texas region! I'm a little late on this thread, but glad to be here.

We are aggressively working on the CMC/AI/AIX classes for the NASA-Texas region. Although I don't have a car to race in CMC, I will by August.

NASA-Texas's next event is August 2-3 at Motorsport Ranch, south of Fort Worth. Regardless of whether or not you have a car legal for the series, please come on out to meet and greet the folks!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm finding out as much as I can about it right now - I'm thinking seriously about building my 95 GT into an AI racecar in 2 or 3 years. I need a place with a garage to work on the car in first though.

I currently don't have any open track experience, as I'm a little uncomfortable taking the car on a road course in it's current state of development without safety equipment like a rollbar, racing seat, 5-pt. harnesses, fire extinguisher, etc.. However, I have been running the car in SCCA, NASA & AAS autocross events for about 2 or 3 years now in Street Modified class, and I've attended the 3-day Skip Barber racing school at Laguna Seca which was great experience and fun. I'll probably go the route people are suggesting and run HPDE events for at least a year if/when I decide to take the car off the street and convert it into a dedicated racecar.

There are a couple of AI-West events that I could go to this year, at Sears Point and Reno, and I'd like to come watch the racing and look around the pits to observe. I looked around the AI webpages but I didn't see any links to race tickets or anything like that... how does one get into an AI event? Is it free admission where anyone can just show up and watch, or are there tickets at the gate, or what?

Unfortunately no, I'm heading to Golden Gate Fields for the SFR auto-x this weekend to test out the car after some off-season improvements.

I'm all about hitting up the Sears Point event in June though to check things out, do I need to buy tickets or is it free admission?

It is usually a $10.00 fee to get in and it covers both days
