NASA Texas makes it easy for you by accepting entries via fax and accepting credit cards and pay-pal. In addition, we accept them the old-fashion way, the good old mail.
Space Limited to - 135 Total Entrants; The Intro DE and Race Craft (Adv DE) Groups will be limited to 40 entries.
As a matter of courtesy, please submit your entries by July 24, 2003.
We will continue to accept entries after the 24th and at the track.
The reason we want the entries by the 24th is just out of simple courtesy to us that are doing all the planning and organization. Ladies and gentlemen --- We love putting on these events and being a contributor to the sport. However, the stress from receiving the majority of entries the week of the event and all most half of them at the track is quite overwhelming.
So, please out of courtesy, have your entries to me no later than July 24, 2003.
Note to DE (Driver Education) type drivers. We have a place for you.
Intro Driver Education and Our Race Craft program is designed for the streetcar drivers that typically participate in DE style events. Race Craft has been designed for the Advanced DE drivers. The reason it is called Race Craft is because the classroom curriculum is focused on the sport of racing. Your track sessions are more focused on helping you to improve your skills. If you want lots of track time and really desire a focused program, then NASA TEXAS has a home for you.
Note: participation in this group counts toward you being eligible to receive a competition license.
This one is self-explanatory . If you want to move towards getting your competition license and you have not held a recent competition license with any other organization, then this is the program for you. To find out more go to:
If you have a race prepared vehicle and a competition license, then we have a home for you. We have groups for both open wheel and closed wheel racecars. FORMULA MAZDA'S, LEGENDS, BABY GRANDS, SPEC MIATAS, SPEC RX7's, VIPER VETTE CHALLENGE, AMERICAN IRON, LOTUS/SUPER 7 STYLE CARS, IT STYLE CARS, COMPACT CARS and more........
