Hey, Doug, what's the best way to enter multiple cars with the online system (is it even possible?)

Greg

[16v]

Not sure. The online system is seperate from the ner site. Maybe ask Brian M?

Greg

greg when you use the "edit car info function" you can add an additional car. then when you enter a race yo need to select which car
dick

[Greg Amy]

The problem, as I seem to recall from last year, is that once you've submitted an entry, the registration link is no longer available to you. Thus, no way to submit entries for multiple cars...

I'll wait for the system to become live and see what I can do with it. - GA

[dickita15]

that is interesting greg. I did not know that. We will need to pass that along to Terry Roberts and Steve Fondakowski.
will check into it.

Greg, There is a button on the "Complete Race Details" page that will allow you to register another car. This is the page you get to from the "Registered..." link...

You'll find it 3 lines down from the top.

Raymond,
I plan on running the scirocco in a bunch of events this year.

Matt Bal

[TimM ITB]

Raymondu;

I plan on running quite a few this year - and if the points "thing" works out well, so be it! But I want to see the prices for LRP and how many "one day" events there are this year. Right now, the rough schedule for me looks like I will run most of the NHIS races, the Memorial Day at LRP, Watkins Glen for the first time in July, and the NARRC. Beyond that, don't know right now based on work schedule and $$$$. Hope to see you at as many events as possible!

Tim "farfromaudi" Mullen

[JLawton]

I'll be at NHIS.

Running for points?? Nooooooo. Just looking to finish a race and keep my wheels pointed down!!

So what is there 2 qual. sessions and one race? I'm confused how does this work.

[Andy Bettencourt]

The supps are here:

http://www.nescca.com/registration/Supps/0...05-RS-133-S.pdf (http://www.nescca.com/registration/Supps/05-RS-133-S.pdf)

First a 10 minute qual by run group, then a 15 minute qual by run group, then a race by run group.

It is much more simple than all that.

Your best time from either session is used.

In the past, there was a practice session, a qualifying session, and the race. Thru the magic of computers, T&S can do full times for every session so the first session was changed from a practice session to qualifying. This was done a number of years ago.

The feature is that if you get a good lap in the first session, http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/smile.gif but have a problem and miss the second session, http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/frown.gif you still get to keep that good time for your grid spot. http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/smile.gif http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/smile.gif

Andy,
As you once told me, "Just stop at a tag sale on the way home and pick one up!". http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/biggrin.gif

Andy-

Wish we were running but one of the cars is still buried in the snow banks (yes we have huge snow banks still) and the one we used for ice racing this year is still, suffering from another electrical fire http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/smile.gif We are not planning on running this season at home, but I am sure we will make it to at least one event... Where are all the other ITB cars though??? I am trying to figure out whom to place my bets on!!!

Since my SM is a 1.8, I will be in your group at a couple races doing some tire testing! We should be converting the white 1.6 to ITA at the end of the year.

I just hope to make it - car is at the shop being diagnosed from VIR. Costellos car is now ready for the bodyshop and should be good to go for LRP.

How're the Autotechnic guys - will you make it in the new E46? Keen to see how you guys and the restricted E36 run against the Mazdas. Any bimmer guys do some testing yet -feedback?

Andy - we know it just kills you not running with ITS http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/smile.gif

Hey Ben,

We are hoping to have the cars together for the upcoming April race in New Hampshire. A few parts arn't here yet so we will wait and see. See you at the track!

Rob

[nlevine]

Has there been any talk from the tech crew about Saturday techs? I wasn't able to attend the event at Shine's, and I'm running in group 1 on Sunday, so if I can get an annual done Saturday that would be great.

I'll even provide some libation for the tech crew if that will help http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/biggrin.gif

Thanks for the shout out Andy although I'm not yet convinced that I'm one to watch out for...

Ben, hope you can make it to NHIS. I'm really looking forward to some close racin' with you...and possibly Rob and Co. if those new cars are ready. Still a little work to do though. I just put the skis away last weekend.

Looks like a strong ITS group...Let's get in on!!!

What is the typical ITB car count at NHIS? I'm surprised there are still only three registered.

Dave,
I think there is usually 10-12. I'm sure a few more will sign up late. Why don't you make the trip!! I'm heading up early Sat AM if you want to hook up.

I've been trying to save up for the LPR price increase. http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/frown.gif I'm planning on making one NHIS trip this year (to race) but would rather wait till it gets a bit warmer out. I also have a few things I still need to finish on the car and have been too lazy lately. I am considering making the trip up there to watch everyone having fun.

[benspeed]

Tim - we'll have to see if we can give our bimmer friends a run for it! Car is languishing in the shop still. Why is it these guys don't understand that to be a good race shop you need to get the car done on time to get to the track????

I hope you can make it Ben. I'm still working on some loose ends. I'm planning on testing at NHIS next Thursday with the Flatout guys. Nick has been helping me with some setup items.

Keep on those shop guys. Funny how people say the same thing about us general contractors!

Got the car fixed - she now dynos at 250 with my new propane fogger intake technology http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/wink.gif

John didn't mush his car - I was punted and mushed it pretty good.

Tim - darn, with all that extra testing I might have to come up before Sunday's race!

Y'all see 25 ITS cars registered already! This is going to be a barn burner.

OK, Andy - what's your race predictions???

I also see Kip is registered and should be brining a "secret weapon" to the track D)
