Mid Ohio Brat Bash - July 30-31

[R2 Racing]

It's only 3.5 weeks away so who's coming out to Mid Ohio again? I'll be there in my ITA Integra once again with hopefully a few more tricks up my sleeve. The Brat Bash is usually my favorite CenDiv race of the year.


How's having two back to back weekends at Mid Ohio affecting everyone? Is anybody running both of them or only one of them? I think I'll be at both of them but I'm not 100% on that. Maybe I'll get my butt into an ITC car again for one of them - we'll have to see on that.

edit for comparison sake:
Brat Bash - $270 for both days (double, 17min qualify, 14 lap race)
group 1: SSB, SSC, ITA, IT7, SM, SMT, SRX7
group 2: ITS, AS
group 4: ITB, ITC, EP, FP, GP, HP, GTL, BG, SPU, LC

WOR Games - $250 for both days (double, 20min qualify, 14 lap race)
group 1: ITB, ITC, SSC, IT7, SRX7
group 3: ITA, SSB, SM, SMT
group 6: ITS, EP, FP, SPU

ugh, looks like I'm with SM's either way...

I hope we will be there with the two TR8s. If not, we will try to make the WOR games race the next weekend

[paulydee]

I am currently planning to attend both weekends. It makes it a bit hectic, but I am trying to get as many races in this years (most at Mid O).

I'll probably only run the first weekend. If I do the next weekend it'll most likely be at Gateway just for a change of pace and a slightly shorter haul.

I will be there at the Brat Bash in ITA Neon 07. After wrecking hard at the start of the race last year in my Mustang I need to get back on the horse and drive MId-O again.

I hope to have the Shelby back together and teched in time for the Brat Bash, with the WOR games as plan B (need to get my two races in to get the Regional lic.) We will know better after this weekend.

Just found out I am not going to make it to the Brat Bash(my favorite race of the year). Therefore The two TR8s are going to the WOR games race instead the next weekend. My question is what people think the turn out will be at the WOR game. I know the Brat Bash will be very well attended as it always is, I am concerned about having an event the next weekend. Do many plan on doing both or one or the other

[R2 Racing]

I'll be at both of them in ITA. My Dad will only be at the WOR Games in ITC.

I can only afford one weekend, so I will be at the WOR Games as more cannon-fodder for Mr. Ruck and that evil orange car....

why are you doing the WOR games race instead of the Brat Bash. If I had my choice I would do the Brat Bash

Hopefully I'll be able to complete the couple of changes I want to do to the car before the Brat Bash. Steve, just wait until I'm actually happy with how it handles. Have you had the SE-R out on Mid Ohio yet?

I have never driven Mid-Ohio - I'm a Rook!!
Been there for quite a few events as a spectator though. Saturday morning will be very, very interesting try to learn the track. You can only watch so much in-car video trying to learn it. I'll be concentrating on staying out of folks way as I get up to speed. At least I'll have some fresh Kumhos to use.

Chris, you should only do the WOR games and not the Brat Bash. You will get an exra 6 minutes on the track and not have to race with the annoying American Sedans.

(trying to persuade the winner of both days at MO not to come so I have a slim shot)

I will see you at the Brat Bash

Matt are you the Mazda that hit the 4 White BMW in turn 15 at the Cinncy Race? I saw the film and was wondering what happened from your perspective?

[xr4racer]

No, I did not hit anyone. I am not sure which day/incident you are talking about.

It was in Sundays race 7/3, must of been the 45 ITS rx7. It happened on lap 6, someone closed the door on him when he was besides them and they cut his valve stem. At least that is what I saw on the film.
I had a good time that weekend and met some good people.

[xr4racer]

That is my friend Allen Milarcik in the 45 car, I will have to ask him

[bldn10]

Kevin, this is OT but can you tell a Mazda driver where the source of intake air is on a last generation Prelude? This does not relate to your car(s) as far as I know. You probably know what I am getting at.

Yea, I could guess what you're getting at. Honestly though, I don't know where the stock source of air comes from on those 5th gen Preludes. All I can say is that any Honda I've ever actually looked for that on, has the source of air come from inside the engine bay. I can't say for a fact that it does or does not on those 5th gen Preludes though.
