Packfill Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Would love to come... no NASA license and my car is not NASA legal.... Bilsteins? Header? and.... anyone think of anything else that makes it so fast??? (what else would I have to remove...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuzz Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Jim you dont need to worry about the car. You just have to put in 50 lbs of ballast per the rules for chip and header. 17 Special Transition Allowance – Regional Races Only The following modifications are allowed for 4 regional races per season as defined below in the interest of easing the transition of cars to the 944-Spec class. Drivers are encouraged to modify their cars to comply with the standard rules as soon as possible. This section does not apply for any races at NASA Nationals. 17.1 Special Transition Modifications 17.1.1 Aftermarket performance engine management chip is allowed with a 25lbs increase in minimum weight. 17.1.2 Aftermarket performance headers are allowed with a 25lbs increase in minimum weight 17.1.3 Flywheels lighter than stock are allowed with a 30lbs increase in minimum weight. 17.2 Implementation of Weight Increases Allowances listed in 17.1 may be applied individually or all together. If multiple allowances are used then weights will be added to generate the new minimum weight. For example if just an engine management chip is used minimum weigh would increase to 2625lbs, if all 3 allowances are used then it requires an 80 lbs increase in minimum weight to 2680lbs with driver. Tim C or I could vouch for you. You have plenty of experience. And it would be great to have you on track with us. Contact Ryan Flaherty of NASA So-Cal. 310-943-7793 Phone & Fax email [email protected] Then you could get qualified for Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuzz Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Are you using the Bilsteins that are legal for POC? If so they are legal for NASA as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packfill Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I am using the Bilstein Firehawk ones... they are kinda the shock that drove the wedge between the two orgs... I would be happy to go to the Konis... but different spring sizes means more expense... (shox, springs, etc...) and a LOT of work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagoston Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Maybe Tim can make a temporary allowance for those fancy Bilsteins. Tim, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberth944 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 R2 Racing is having it's grand opening Saturday evening @ 7 pm on the 22nd. Everyone is invited. Food, drinks, music and car show. About 40 minutes from Willow springs raceway. Sorry guy's we won't be racing yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuzz Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I have no issue with a one race allowance for Mr. Marks to get the right shocks. Bring it on!!! Maybe we can get all the 944 guys to pile into a motor home and come to the party. That might be fun. Do you have any Big Wheels we can race?

john78 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Looks like I can join. Possible for Friday afternoon. Do they do half day testing there? R2 open house sounds like a fun gathering. john n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagoston Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Looks like we have 5 so far. Still haven't heard from Tim, Everett, Mad Dog, Big Dog, or Chris Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b f cybronetics Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 John they do offer half day testing if you do not have a membership you will need to buy one if I remember it is about $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagoston Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Here's a link to what they usually do, Section A: http://www.willowspringsraceway.com/trackinformation/rental.asp But I know people who have done half days or even less. Call them and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExRacer Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 http://www.protrackracing.info/images/oldpagster944bitesthedust.jpg Maddog is still futzin' with the New Car. I'll see you all there, @ Friday Test/Tune as well. Thanks for the support 944 guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Comeau Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I'm in. Working on the 924S hard........I have my head down and running as hard as I can. Was in the shop until 10:00pm last night. I can't register until at least 5 of you guys have registered. Let's get those other guys in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagoston Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Great to hear! Do you still need a front koni? I have a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Comeau Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I put a couple new Konis on. But, thanks. Worked until 9:30 last night. Cashed in some karma points. I asked my local 944 customers/friends for some help and they responded strongly! My brother and I plus 4 guys! Nice to get some help in return! We got the new fenders, spoiler, bumper, 924S grill on. We removed about 70 lbs from the car. New springs, struts, shocks. Windshield repaired. Found a PERFECT pair of ABS offset wheels for the front. Perfectly round, that is. New head going on today or.....Corner balance and align on Thursday?

Tim Comeau Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 BTW, It would be nice if we could park side by side in the area behind the snack bar/meeting room. Those spots are great to pull a truck and trailer thru and still have room for the car in back of the trailer. Like we did when it was raining. That lines all the cars up for show and we can then gang up the E Z Ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b f cybronetics Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I plan to get there by noon Friday so will try to get the same space as we had at prior Willow event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Comeau Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Crap....in the shop again tonight (Wed) till 10:00pm..... Head's back on and engine started, but not running well. Gotta recheck everything tomorrow, plus do my second job. I'm getting old fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
