    Excellent plugs for the events, all! Now heres the deal, I need 30 cars this year, I really need more , but if we can hit 30 I can keep the event alive for next year. If we can pull together and do this then I might in a year or two get the 24 back but I need all of your help. Thanks to all of you who have raced with us in the past and we welcome those who will be joining us for the first time. For infomation please visit www.nelsonledges.com

    Thanks again to all of you. Lets past the word along and get some cars to this race!!

    Hi,

    Would anyone know when the deadline for entries might be for this race. I know it's still early but the race is about 12 weeks away and we need to get the car ready to go...But, if no one is coming then there will be no need to spend all of the extra money. i am reall hoping this events get over 30 teams, hopefully the region is doing everything they can to promote it. I have been telling everyone I can about it but I can only do so much.

    Thanks in advance for any help and maybe even somehow a weekly update of entries.

    Don't wait for others to sign-up, this is how low turnouts happen. You'll have plenty of us to race not to mention the clock it self!

    Roland,

    I actually was under the impression you had to have 30 cars to run and that was the reason for the "intend to run" $100 deposit. I don't think I told anyone this but thanks for clarifying. We were debating back and forth on wether or not to spend the extra cash building a stock engine for Tims Golf... well you answered that for me!

    We have officially decided that
    RSTPermance Will be racing in our First ever race greater than 3 hrs!! We plan on running Tim Dugans ITB Golf with Drivers Tim Dugan, Raymond Blethen, and Stephen Blethen! Randy, Tom and whoever else we can convince to make the trip will be changing tires and helping out in pit lane! I honestly can't wait for this event! Probably going to be the #1 fun event of the year with tons of track time! This may also be the first race that we race longer on track than the tow... on second thought nope we are still towing farther than 12 hrs! Oh-well We still can't wait! We are bringing a stack of tires a few spares and we shall see how long we can make it!

    Stephen :026:

    PS: are you allowed spare cars

    Stephen,

    Glad to hear your coming..it will be a race to remember. You can bring a spare car and pull all the parts off of it you would like . The tub must be the same for the entire race. See you there!

    I think he wanted a spare tub... With the three of us running the car it should be interesting...

    Do they use transponders??? I know we are all (the three of us)going to want to know who goes the fastest, and that's a long time to time ourselves!!!

    Default Trying to put something together

    I'm trying to put something together, probably in a Spec Miata. Is there a list anywhere of the intended entries?

    We'd still love to find enough funded codrivers to make the trip. It would probably only be half as fun as the 24 was but still...

    Default Any info?

    It's July... still no supps or provisional entry list. The NL website does not appear to have been updated in 6+ weeks. What's the hold up?
