Double CCPS @ VIR

[Aged racer]

Supps and entry are up, we'll be bringing the new SM (formerly SSB Miata). Wondering if there will be a crowd?

[iambhooper]

I'm thinking about it. Willing to split the seat, also. I have a couple people interested, but nothing certain.

[Team SSR]

We plan to be there!

We plan on dusting off the 240sx for its yearly visit. Hope to see a lot of S cars!!

[Parrish57]

Bryan and I will be there, at least for Saturday. As of now I have to work Sunday. The more S car the better. The same goes for all of the other classes. Come on out and play boys and girls!

Yup, there's only about 18 shopping days until the double CCPS. Should be a great event. It's hard to beat two CCPS races in one weekend -- it will be very nice to make up for some of the cancelled races. Plus it's always nice to check out the National hardware and the racing they put on.

We should have three Garmon - Perez cars there: Bob in Spec Miata, Paul in IT-7, and me in IT-7.

Come on all you IT-7 cars, sign up. Let's keep the large car counts going.

We need to crank up the entries!

Captain Who,

Wanna go? I know that I need some more time away from EFR. Whatdya say??

Righty (another IT7......maybe)

[Aged racer]

We haven't done a CCPS before. Occurs to me I should ask- it's pretty common to share the ride with the two min pit stop, right? I tried to do a co-driver entry the other day, and it would not take it.

[JeffYoung]

Yes, a lot of folks do split the CCPS with a co-driver. There have been issues with co-driver sign up before; not sure why.

Cool. I should be up there for the National. Greg is running. See you up there. I have a photo pass so I should be able to get some good shots of the Z.

[NutDriverRighty]

Captain Who and I regularly run CCPS races and do so as co-drivers. If you need both name on the results (such as needing them for the Mazda TSP), you will need to go by T&S and make them aware, and then probably go back by T&S before you leave to pick up the print out with both names. Putting two names into the computer at CMP and VIR seems to cause some sort of problem that has to be manually overridden. Love the CCPS and plan to run more, but have had to do this at every CCPS race I've entered. Have told Estus White, and any number of stewards, along with T&S at the aforementioned places. Wasn't fixed Memorial Day. Maybe at VIR.

We'll be there for both races in ITC with the Civic, come on out all you ITC racers that have been hiding!

This is a great deal for VIR and good tracktime. The CCPS races are really fun. And drive arounds during lunch hour.

You don't want to miss the action in the National races either!

I'm leaning towards it. Now that we have the inertia clutch and NOS installed, it should make for an interetsting event

BTW... I may have an available seat for one or both races.

For the NOOBs like myself, could some give a quick rundown of this event? I assume no SARRC points. Just wondering if its worth the trek from Hotlanta.

Thx

Joe... You are correct. No SARRC points. The Carolina Cup Pro Series is a stand alone series very much like the Pro IT in Atlanta. It's well worth the drive if you like lots of seat time. The CCPS is a 45 minute timed race with a mandatory 2 min pit stop. To me it's the perfect format. Oh, and unlike SARRC there is prize money!

Steve

p.s. If you haven't run VIR before it's worth the trip just to race there!

[JeffYoung]

Joe, usually a pretty good IT7 contingent for Cup races at VIR as well.

[sgallimo]

Come on Joe, drag that pretty IT-7 car up here and make up for what you missed at Rockingham.

One more item about the 2 minute pitstop: no fueling.

[Joe-Racer]

Way to dangle that carrot :P I've got no co-driver and no crew, unless you include the "Bank". And the "Bank" doesn’t change tires or pour fuel. Maybe I can persuade her to hand me a frosty drink on the 2min break.

Tempting.. Anyone up for sharing a crew with me - just as a contingency. IT7s need not apply, for obvious reasons

[JeffYoung]

Joe, i will be up there probably just crewing on a Z car. More than happy to help you out with the pit stop -- you will need someone to time the two minutes.

[Joe-Racer]

If I can convince her that holding a stop watch wont break a nail, then we've got ourselves a timing girl.

Thanks for the help Jeff. I just may take you up on that. I'll pay up in suds
