NASA May 20/21 at Roebling Road

Ok kiddies, start saving those pennies for some tires (and camper awnings)! A new date at RR has been added by NASA SE.

Just got the following email from the top executive at NASA SE!

I'll let you pass the word...we just firmed up a May 20/21 weekend at Roebling Rd in 2006!!
Hope you all enjoy that track!!

Julie

Yep, some of us dont have 5 sets of tires and its gonna take 5 months to save!

The good news is it probably will not be scorching like last year. Maybe a little easier on the rubber (but probably not)

I am driving this...it'll be my first time on the RA's.....so, i am curious as to how they react to Roebling vs the MX's I just swapped out I ran last year. I'm running both Reoblings this year....

On another note however, I think I may be working the RA event at the end of summer, sooooooo, the Chateau may make the trip for that one.....gonna depend on gas $'s at the time and how the math works out for that vs a hotel.......make sense?

Did you get a new set of RA's? Where'd you get them from?

Makes perfect sense. As a side, looking for new rubber since TGPR did mine in (as well as others). Did you like those Kumho MX's?/ How did they hold up? (miles and track events) Inquiring minds want to know.

Val,

The MX's are fine, hell they only have 1500 or so miles on them including the two events they ran in. They are pulled off and stored ( I have a extra set of wheels they are on) until the next event rolls around....They have worn very well. and still have quite some life left. Lego got me on the Kumho thing and i haven't been disappointed (tirerack reviews are very good as well). I will probably stick them on ebay this weekend.....i don't need three sets.....I love the all season ASX's (Kumho) that are my daily drivers.....they have 31k miles and still have half the tread left (420 treadwear), so, when they die, I will duplicate them....

I am going to work this one. I need to get some worker credits to support the track habit. So I will be there, TA, any chance I could ride down with you.

Haven't decided yet. I have the discount thing, might use it, or work another and have a freebie later. Still thinking it over. I enjoyed the track a lot though, so I'm tempted.
