The NASA OH/IN Region is excited to provide a great 2006 schedule (provided at the bottom of this post) that includes tons of track time for all level of drivers. THREE weekends at the newly paved Mid Ohio Sports Car Course (each three days!), TWO weekends at Putnam Park Road Course, ONE trip to BeaveRun, ONE cross-over event with Midwest at Autobahn Country Club, and:

A typical event weekend will include at least 4 twenty minute sessions per day for HPDE drivers, and a triple sprint race (yes three races in one weekend!) for the racers. Time Trial drivers also get at least 4 twenty minute sessions, and everyone is invited to the trophy presentations and parties on Saturday night. Instructors are provided for the HPDE 1 and 2 drivers including classroom time, and group meetings for Racers, Time Trial, and HPDE 3&4 drivers are held to help get you the information you need and deliver information to help you go faster!

All of these events are now open for registration at www.nasaproracing.com . More information about these events, schedules, hotels, etc. are coming available at www.racenasa.com , or email [email protected], or phone 330.421.1900. Here is the total 2006 OH/IN Schedule:

Cool, good to see NASA making a bigger dent in the area. So as a National SCCA license holder with numerous race wins, can I get a NASA license without doing a school?

What's the latest on the national championship race? I couldn't find any info on the NASA site. What's needed to qualify?

What classes can a 2.9L, ITS Corrado or 1.8L, 1991 GTI run in? Is the USTCC always limited to 5 year old or newer cars?

As a SCCA license holder, you would need to go to www.nasaproracing.com in the forms section and print off the competition license application. That application will list all the items you will need to send in to the national office to get a NASA provisional license. Email me if you need help finding the form: [email protected]. You won't need to do a school as long as your license and medical are current.

Drivers need to race in at least 5 individual races to qualify for the nationals. Finishing order does not matter, participation does. Some of the other information like a finalized schedule, etc, is being worked on right now. A link to the nationals website can be found from our site www.racenasa.com . It is on the left hand side.

The Corrado and the GTI could both fit into GTS (German Touring Series) classes based on their power to weight. Check out www.gtschallenge.com . I know there is some leaway with the USTCC years, so best bet is to get in touch with Ali Arsham at USTCC and see what he thinks.

Hope to see you for a few events this year!

I'm planning a very limited schedule this year but want to race the national race. If there are 5 races needed for qualifying I can race two weekend and do something like 2 sprints and an enduro each weekend for a total of six races correct? Or 2 sprints each weekend in ps1 and 1 sprint each weekend in sm?

Check with your local region. Some of the events are triple sprint races. All of the OH/IN Region events are triples.

See you soon!

Steve - I believe it's Saturday: practice, qualify, race and then Sunday: qualify, race, race.


Whoa, Steve, Chris, and me coming to more NASA events near you! We've got to show these east coast and west coast guys a harsh welcome to Mid Ohio in September.

Ahhhh! The power of reading eludes me sometimes. Looks like I'll be making at least two NASA weekends plus the national this year.

And yeah Kevin the home field advantage will be nice.

Lawrence,
Question, I just saw that NASA rule is a 1.75X.12 for a roll cage on a 2900# car. What happenes if I have a SCCA legal 1.75X.095 Roll Cage?
dj

Never mind I read farther down the CCR in 15.6.18 "1.75x.095 DOM is allowed.
