IT7 runs in ITA, correct? If 6 or 7 IT7 cars show up, can we run IT7 for our own deal.

Just a question. we may have some intesest, well I have some interest, but dont want to get killed for 475.00. Done bringing knives to gun fights, so to speak.

Does this event have payouts?

We have noticed the growing number of IT7 cars in NER. Given your enthusiasm and your interest in our race at Thompson, we will establish a tentative class for IT7. If there are six or more IT7s entered, we will treat them as a separate class for the weekend. We'd love to see your group come out and play with us.

Hope to see ya at Thompson

Does this event have payouts?

This event does not have a prize fund. For major pro events like this one where we purchase track time, our prize fund is suspended to keep entry fees at an acceptale level.

Thanks terry!

[StephenB]

2 weeks away and only my dad and I are racing in this one?

Stephen

[StephenB]

Terry, are more cars entered that don't show up online? I am getting worried that we don't have enough cars to run the event and I am trying to jump through hoops to get enough time off of work to run.

It's alive! Raymonds RX8 that is :-). We will need it's first annual at this race and need to know if someone will be attending that can mount and dismount tires...

Thanks,
Stephen

[Terry Hanushek]

Stephen

Will Raymond's RX8 need an annual inspection or does it need a logbook issued?

I will check on tires.

Terry

[StephenB]

Logbook issued. I think autotechnic will need one for a car they are bringing as well.

Hoosier is a FF2000 / FF1600 sponsor. They will have a truck at the event and should be able to handle your tire mounting.

Terry

[StephenB]

Thanks!

No issues getting a log book on a new car either?

Annuals will be no problem. If Raymond needs a new logbook issued, I can make arrangements for it. Let me know. I'll also check with AutoTechnic.

See ya at the races

very very nice Raymond... I really like how you did the matching paint design with different colors

btw .. on the NHMS cheap date registration, I think you mistakenly entered STL instead of STU

best!

Warm, sunny race marked with a late arrival by the new dad (Nick) and a surprise appearance by Darrell. A couple of come-from-behind drives, a last lap pass and repass for the lead and a MOV of .5 second.

We do it all again tomorrow

I came away with a second, even got to do a pit stop in the middle to adjust tire pressures :-) I think Raymond tried to use the wrong pit entrance...

Overcast and muggy day with a dry track all the way. All cars ran flawlessly - no DNFs, no pit stops and only four spins - everybody running strong at the end.

:( That sucks. Bad. Sorry guys.

A special 'thank you' to Terry and Lynn Hanushek, and Geoff Hall, for making the long drive up to Thompson and doing, literally, everything. Since we were 'guesting' as the opening act at a Pro weekend, we did not have our normal staff of volunteers and supporters - but Terry and Lynn and Geoff were gracious in handling everything from registration to hand-delivering results sheets after each session! And to top it off, we had a cameo appearance on Saturday from a man with a big smile rumored to be our Darrell Anthony ... good stuff.
