bmw22 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 GTS at MidOhio is only two weeks away. If you are not registered yet, I encourage you to do so before the event sells out. This event does not conflict with events of neighboring regions and there are dozens of out of region drivers that plan to attend to get some good track time before the National Championships. In September. So far, the entries are as follows: Davis Dan GTS1 Edwards Bill GTS1 Ginter Jim GTS1 massa vince GTS1 Child Jim GTS2 Lewis Gregg GTS2 Waite Brad GTS2 Williams John GTS2 Amardeil John GTS3 Barr Mark GTS3 Berkowitz Scott GTS3 Deason Korey GTS3 Knopp JB GTS3 Lasser Robert GTS3 Smith Bob GTS3 Tillinghast Sean GTS3 Zupon Max GTS3 The GTS “Bier Garten” will be in full swing for the event, the location will be announced as we get closer to the event. I have a vendor interested in host a GTS party on Saturday evening, but I would like to see the entry list somewhere quite a bit longer before asking them to commit. I will be arriving late Thusday evening to drop off the car, and at the track open for business Friday morning. I will not have GTS decals for the sides of your car, if you need those, get them online at the GTS website. I will have the class decals for the front and rear of your car. These are the 6” tall yellow numbers that help us identify class while on track. These are mandatory for this. Bring a $1 with you when you bring your tech sheet and logbook for me to sign. Dyno and scales will be used after any timed session. If you plan to dyno your car at the track, call BackStreet Performance ahead of time and schedule your session. Order your tires from Phil's and check the GTS website for a list of our sponsors for any of your last minute racing needs. These vendors support us....make sure you support them! Thanks, Mark Quote
Members Eric W. Posted June 28, 2008 Members Posted June 28, 2008 Alright Mark... Im in Now.. does anyone have a n extra generator we could rent? Quote
Members Eric W. Posted June 28, 2008 Members Posted June 28, 2008 I'm in as well!! Mike, you mentioned in the other thread you were looking for people to stay with? I'll be staying in the trailer. I looked on the registration site that there is a "GTS area". I dunno how many GTSers have garages, but not this time for me. Ill be in a 44' trailer with AC. Only problem is no power. Quote
mikew968 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Eric: How much wattage do you need. I have a 2k that I always bring. I do have a 4k but usually don't bring it as it is heavy and I have limited room. Let me know if you don't get one and I can see if I have room. I would like to see the gts guys all be in one area...peferrably on pavement. Is someone going to be there early Friday who could rope off a large area and position armed guards to await our arrival?

bmw22 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 I will be there First thing Friday morning. If we are allowed to enter Thursday night I will do that. I'll try and claim as much GTS space as possible, according to this map http://racenasa.nasamidwest.com/docs/track_maps/MO_paddock_map.pdf Quote

I would try to get as much space as you can on Thurs. as I think there are a couple of supporting race groups(if the tentative schedule is correct) that will take up more space than we usually see. Even though I'm a garage snob, I'll be up there to hang out..... -Scott Quote

Thanks Mike. Ideally I want one to power AC to the trailer. But depending on weather, I might not need that much and just have enough to power lights and such. Trailer is 44'. So hopefully there will be space around there for it! What's up w/ MidOhio and the lack of power??? Quote
John Graber Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Scott is correct, 6pm Thursday night you can get in, and probably not a minute before. My understanding is the F2000 and Yoko Cup groups have rented the upper paddock from MO so parking should be ok. Quote
Members Eric W. Posted July 1, 2008 Members Posted July 1, 2008 Mark, updated entry list? Did we get anymore besides me? Quote
CARVAL Motorsports Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 On my way too. Friday night for me. Don't any of you people work for a living!!!!! We may go to the grass, not to many semi level spots in the "valley" of the middle paddock. Quote
bmw22 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 Carl, How many cases of Pottsville Nectar should I bring? Quote
Members Eric W. Posted July 2, 2008 Members Posted July 2, 2008 What happened to the MadBrew parties you guys used to have in OH? Ill bring some of my Leuven Nectar Quote
scottbm3 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 What happened to the MadBrew parties you guys used to have in OH? Ill bring some of my Leuven Nectar Eric, Eric M. is giving Grand-am a go this year, so no more Madbrew parties. A 44' trailer?? Man things have changed. What happened to the open trailer and the SUV.... With all the upgrades this year, your sponsor must of really upped "her" budget. See you next weekend. -Scott Quote

Borrowing a friend's since Im heading up w/ my Honda Challenge friend. Figured towing w/ one rig and a two car trailer was better than two rigs and two trailers See ya soon. Quote

mikew968 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 The list is growing!!!! the middle paddock by the fence on the track side is pretty good but goes away pretty quickly! Mike Quote

Enzo Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 It looks like there are quite a few cars registered in GTS now - as of today's count: GTS1 = 6 GTS2 = 8 GTS3 = 13 GTS4 = 1 I'll be runnin' GTS2. Anybody have any tips on how to run the "bus stop". I've run mid-ohio a couple of times before, but always been the Pro course. Dont tell me - "go fast", and "dont crash", right?.... Thanks, Enzo Quote

Thanks, Enzo Wait... so this eent is using the Bus Stop? That isnt a good rehearsal for nationals then Yeah Eric, I lobbied to use the club course since I heard you were coming.... Seriously there is a thread on the Great Lakes forum about using club course one day and the pro on the next. I voted to use the Pro course both days, as it's what we will run at Nationals. I know it would probably give us GL guys an advantage for us not to use it when the out of region guys come, but I still vote for the Pro course. -Scott Quote
