Who Will Be There?

[Joe Moser]

I know it will be sometime before an entry list is posted, but I just wanted to get a feeling for the numbers this year!

CENDIV:
ITA - Joe Moser, Robert Moser, Dave Beyersdorf, Kevin Ruck, Chris Efremidis (maybe?), Colin Botha... others??

I'm hoping for a large ITA field! I know Alex Muresan and A. Serra are supposed to be running well again this year, Stretch sold his car... Who is the one to beat? Is Serra really faster this year with the new car? Looks like the old C-Rex is going to have plenty of challenges to reclaim the ARRC win!


- Joe Moser
ITA Honda CRX - CENDIV

[zracre]

I will be there but I dont know how much $$$ I can throw at my car before the race to see if I will be competitive...although it does run better with the new Quaife just installed...need the 4:79 and Hondata ECU before RA...never know...my motor is still OE and unmolested from the factory with a cheapie Chikara header and cheap intake.

[Hracer]

Joe, you running the new car or the same yellow one you ran last year? That one was fast enough. ;)

We'll be there and I'm running the sprint and enduro. I'm really looking forward to it. The car is faster than it's ever been and I think we got all the bugs out of it. Also last I heard from Serra, he'll be there with his 3rd gen integra. See you guys there!

[SPiFF]

I'll be there trying not to look bad in S. :unsure:

How's your season going Alex?

Not sure about which car I'll be in this year... the new car still isn't completed. It should be finished with some time to run something before the ARRC. It's up to my dad on which car I'll be driving :)

I've only been able to race 1 time (Mid-Ohio, July 31st) since the ARRC last year, and I doubt I'll get another one in before then, it's tough to get from Arizona to Detroit to run a race! My dad has been doing non-stop chassis tuning and really has the thing running well, so it's looking like I may be in the Yellow car...

I'm just looking forward to some competitive racing and actual seat-time (I'm getting sick of watching race tapes over and over again, I'd rather be driving!).

[924Guy]

Hope to be there myself, but don't expect too much as it would be my first outing to Road Atlanta... car's ready to go, just need to line up the (financial) resources... :blink:

Yea, were you promptly beat the ever loving crap out of a track record by over a second! I got my Integra working a little better the following weekend and got down to a 1:44.5 at Mid Ohio, my fastest ever. It's quick but I'm still not happy with it. Unfortunately I now need to take away from working on handleing improvements to take time for a new engine build (I don't know if you heard my engine blew or not). I'm going to try and get two more race weekends in before the ARRC and hopefully get this car moving.

I hope Colin comes down since he's got that car hustleing - he hit a 1:44.0 the weekend after you came up, btw. The scary thing is though, I pull Colin's car pretty good. If he ever had an engine in his car like Bob & Joey's, hold onto your socks!

The last I heard, Scott Fruth is planning on coming down from CenDiv in his ITC Civic too. To say he's got that thing hooked up is an understatement.

[RSTPerformance]

I plan on bringing down one of the Audi's and my brother we are not sure yet... it looks like he might have to work and wont be able to get the time off... although he is debating telling his boss that not giving him the time off would be a deal breaker.... We are trying to convince my dad to take down his car if he doesn't go, but I think he will need some peer presure, so feel free to yell at him at the track and tell him to race against his son ;). Now obviosly if he doesn't go the second car will be available for someone else who wants a chance at winning ITB :-P

You'd better be there, you sandbagger you. ;)

[planet6racing]

I'm trying. I'd like to say that I'll be there, but with just blowing a whole into the bellhousing of my trans, I need to fix that and insure reliability before I head out...

[Knestis]

Unless there's a direct conflict with the VIR 13 Hours, I've put the ARRC on my 2006 calendar. I'll do a few RA regionals during the year to figure out where the hell to go. It may or may not be with the current car.

The ARRC is the week immediately subsequent to the VIR 13-hour. And, if you don't do it in your current car, then maybe I'll rent that worn-out bastard from you for the ARRC...

The season is going well. The car has good speed and we're waiting to see what it can do come Nov. I hear you, must be tough watching those tapes.. you should get a wheel and a ps2 and try out GT4 or something. :)

GregAmy, you are not running the Nissan?

Negative, it's been a really crappy - basically non-existent - year: http://www.kakashiracing.com/2005.html

[RacerBowie]

I'll be there running the Enduro, but unless a bag of money falls out of the sky I will not be running the sprint this year. Probably wouldn't even be doing the enduro if I didn't want to follow through with a promise made earlier in the year...

You guys have fun, I will be drinking beer and cheering!

Bowie
ITA Miata

[Hracer]

Oh no. Sorry to hear about the misfortunate Greg. Hope you get it running again soon.

Bowie, I was looking forward to seeing how fast you'd be in the miata in Nov. Judging by how fast you ran earlier this year, you'd definitely have been quicker than last year's ARRC.

We'll be running the Miata in the enduro, so hopefully some of that speed will show up....

[gsbaker]

It sounds like those of you who can't actually race should come anyway and hang around the Isaac Mobile Command Center RV.

Hey, someone's got to light the grill and keep the beer iced, right? B)

And IF a big bag of money falls out of the sky, no way Bowie is getting to it faster than me LOL - I'm pretty scrappy for old and bald and out of shape :)

Bah, mark me down for the cheering section too. 2006 will hopefully be the year to run the green machine.


Gregg, save a spot for a second grill, I'll bring my tools.

You think you can keep that beast going fast for 3 hours? I know my car loves it...fastest lap last year was # 61!

I'll be there again, and hopefully will have a better showing than last year.

Where's all the NEDiv guys at? I'd like to get an update on who's coming from up there. Ray Lee, you out there?

A little too soon to tell but I will more than likely be there. :023:
Can't let you have all the fun. Haven't heard anything from the rest of the NER crowd but I'm sure they will chime in and keep everyone up to date.

[gran racing]

Ray B. - So does that mean I get to drive Steven's Audi? :D Otherwise I'll be down there with the Honda.

[RSTPerformance]

Dave-

hummm... I don't see why not, if knowone in the family is racing it someone has to... right??? That and I will do just about anything to save on the fuel costs for me to get down thier!!!

Raymond

PS: No joking aside, if the car is all together and reliable after the "end of season racing" ask me again!!!

[KevSC1]

Any idea when the detailed schedule will be posted? We're talking about coming down, but most of us will fly in, and we need to know when to plan our flights.

[Sandy]

Soon, have a couple details to work out. :bash_1_: See ya'll there, Fletcher

You can add Colin Botha from the CenDiv to the ITA entry list in his CRX. He told me today that he's going down again. His new CRX has just been on freaking rails this year but he's been down on power a little - and still running 1:44.00's at Mid Ohio while regularly kicking my butt. He won't be down on power by the time he shows up in November though. :023:

This is going to be insane.

Awesome. I ran with him in '02 and if you say he has a newer and faster car, then he's going to be flying.

Yea, he had his old car down there in '02. His new one has already done a 1:44.00 around Mid Ohio (.6 faster than his old car ever did) and set two other track records up here this year. This was with an engine my Integra could pull 3-4 car lengths down most straights. Like I said, it drives like it's on rails and will have more power by November.


It's kind of discouraging for me to come down if both Colin AND Joe show up in their CRX's. Hell, I can get me ass kicked by those guys up here without the 11 hour tow.

[jd76]

I will make it. :smilie_pokal:

Unlike what I hear about Mid Ohio where it's pretty much all about how well you get through the corners, Road Atlanta favors both handling and power. You'll be fine. Just make sure you come down! Looking forward to seeing you and everyone again. I talked to A. Serra as well, and it sounds like it's going to be a great race this year with everybody. I'm looking forward to watching the other races as well.

I will be there but not sure if I am running or not. Either way
I will be there to crew for Kenny Zalner in his spec Miata.

I'm about 95% sure that I'll be there. Last years ARRC was probably the most fun I've ever had at a race track - on and off of it. I can't wait to see a lot of you again and no matter where I end up running on the track, I'm sure I'll find a good race.

Hopefully I can squeeze in another race with MWHC before then to try out some things. Stupid CenDiv and the season being over already......even though it's been over 90 the last two days.

[fiat124girl]

Jude and I will be there with our newest car, the ITA 240SX.

I can't wait!!!!!

[greendot]

I'm planning to be there this year in ITS after a long absence.
Seemed that every year that I went the track changed and I had the wrong gear (RX-7). Since the track has not changed since my last time, I think that the 4.88 is the right one now. Any 2nd gen RX-7 guys willing to tell the truth? :119:

[ltblouis]

Hey does anyone have a car for me to borrow so I can teach all these punks how to drive ????? :D

[jinxcrx]

I will be there....Mothballed the car after it ran so good last year.
Gonna try to find a test to shake out the cob webs....
See you there!

[lateapex911]

Due to the inability to get time off from work, I won't be participating. I will try to fly in to watch if I can get the weekend off.

I still say that Alex the punk will win for sure in ITA

[Knestis]

Cameron and I will be coming down for sure, as hired-gun engineering and team management consultants for an entrant. :)

EDIT - that's "crew" to you and me, Rusty.

[Smitty]

I hope to drag my ITB Prism down for a good time :D

I havent had it out for a year, ... I've only run it 4 times in 4 years... :blink:

What am I thinking?... :unsure:

Should be fun... To the Blethen Clan, is your Dad the Ray Blethen with the AS Mustang?... If it is.. this is Kristian Smith... AS #89... would love to catch up with you all down there!

Any other Cendiv ITB guys going down?... I saw ya there Vaughn.... :happy204:

Kris

[tom_sprecher]

I will be there crewing for the # 11 CFC trying like hell to finally win this one. I'll try to look some of you guys up and if you see our setup stop by for a beer and whatever we're cooking.
