NASA July 15/16 2006 at Carolina Motorsports Park
 
Here is another event to put in your calendar. I have been wanting to drive CMP for some tiime now and experience some of the other tracks in the SE.
I am signed up and confirmed in HPDE3 for this. Post up if you plan on coming.

I'm a "possible" for this one. Do you have a link for NASA? I haven't run with them in over 3 years. I'm new to N. Carolina so I'm also looking forward to exploring some of the nearby tracks. Was at VIR in late March (in the NSX). Heading to VIR to spectate this Sunday at GrandAm race. (BTW- it's on SPEED at 1pm.)

I'm in.......working it....

I'm signing up for June 3-4 at this track with the Mustang Club. If I like it I may sign up for this NASA event also.

SilverEIGHT 05-05-2006 09:50 PM

Have you driven it yet TA and how long is the drive?

SilverEIGHT 05-06-2006 07:52 AM

Nope! Hopefully I will have two trips to CMP under my belt after this NASA event.

SilverEIGHT 05-10-2006 10:27 AM

I'm a dum bass! Trying to schedule too many events and was not paying attention. I plan to do Saturday at the PANOZ Road Atlanta event this weekend.

legokcen 05-18-2006 04:37 PM

I'd like to work this too. Then I get to go to one for free. My road racing buddies tell me that brake ducts are a good idea at CMP. It's supposed to be hell on them.

Stop&TurnFreak 05-19-2006 12:10 AM

I can go through a set of front pads in one event, if pushing hard enough. And that was on street tires.

DCNSX 05-23-2006 02:32 PM

I'm in. Just signed up for Group 2. Will be in a black NSX. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Where do y'all stay near CMP ???

...and yes, Logokcen, my old '79 RX7 did blow up at VIR a few years back.

legokcen 05-23-2006 04:19 PM

Sorry to hear about the 79. I'd like to get my 84 track ready for the next Roebling event in Sept. I hope it will be reliable. The guy doing time trials in his 1st gen blew his motor going into turn 1. Said he reved too high and now it has gotten me nervous.

TorqueAholic 05-23-2006 07:08 PM

It's official folks, I will be "thundering" around CMP on July 15-16. I just sent an email to Julie to apply my Roebling credit towards CMP.

Lookin' forward to try out a new track!

Stop&TurnFreak 05-25-2006 03:51 PM

CMP is FUN. Steve and I will be there Friday, Saturday, and Sunday next weekend with the Mustang folks.....www.ponytales.org.

BTW, /sniff sniff/ I smell some R compounds......32VCobra???? 1:57's ???? He will be SMOKIN fast now. I guess my little Evo 'finally' has some competition. :)

SilverEIGHT 05-25-2006 07:40 PM

STF... didn't realize you would be with the Mustang Club. Guess we'll see you and Steve there.

Stop&TurnFreak 05-25-2006 10:08 PM

PLEASE>>>>you knoow I am the resident track slut.

L8APEX 05-26-2006 06:24 AM

I am going to see about working this event. If I work this one, and RA in August, my rematch with Roebling in September will be free, and much easier on the wallet.

Stop&TurnFreak 05-26-2006 10:13 AM

No offense, but this is one of the 'premier' tracks in the SE. I would pay this one, and work Roebling, were I you. I know you couldn't get a free one till later next year, but trust me, this track is awesome, and it plays to the RX8 in most of the time is in the corners, unlike Road Atlanta and Roebling, where you can make up 3+ seconds with just horsepower.

L8APEX 05-26-2006 10:17 AM

No ofense taken, believe me, if I had the $$, I would try and talk my way into driving this one. But I don't, thus the work to play theory. I have just spent a lot on the car and track time this year, and need to try and figure out how to cut that back a bit. Outside of becoming an instructor, which could never happen, I don't see another way to cut costs. Expensive hobby I know, so I will do what I can to get on track.

SilverEIGHT 05-26-2006 10:49 AM

I plan to have some serious instruction recorded to video/audio next weekend. I will make it available for you guys so it will give you a heads up for this NASA event.
I'm getting bigtime excited! :p:

This needs to be your next upgrade before going to CMP.
:)

Stop&TurnFreak 05-26-2006 05:42 PM

Bling Bling :)

CMP was my first track as a student, and was the one event, and (that same event) is where I was signed off for instructor. :). Nothing like a fast learner?

legokcen 05-26-2006 10:12 PM

Some would say you were on the "Fast Track"

HAHAHAHAHAH Sorry, that was really horrible.
