CWeber Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 I had planned on classing my Miata in TTF/PTF next year, but if there isnt going to be one for Nationals... We only need one more person for TTF THIS YEAR so please talk to anyone you know who was thinking about Nationals THIS year. This year is what determines next year and we are only 1 person away for TTF group running so please spread the word!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyman09 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Is there anyone renting a TTF ride this year for nationals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'd have to figure out logistics (Houston - MidO - Houston), but I could be talked making an MR2 or two availible. I just plain don't have the money to go this year, been doing development work (car & driver) to make a no-excuses full-tilt effort next year. Which I could've done differently if it had been annouced early enough my classes were on the chopping block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon982004 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Come on guys...anyone? This will be my first Championships and I already know Im going to get destroyed by the G20, but I at least want a chance! ONLY ONE MORE! Paging Lowell ....where are you!?

CWeber Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 ^ if you can Get Lowell to register with his SVT Focus, that would be a nice mix! Isn't this local for him anyway? Maybe talk to him in person at the MidO July GreatLakes event and see what you can do if you can't get to him through email/PM/these forums NOW?!?

CWeber Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Anyone else? I tried to talk to Bill (other TTF person here in Midwest region) and he just isn't interested in Nationals this year for TTF because he wants to put his funds into w2w racing instead next year (can't really fault him for that) SO we still need to find just ONE MORE PERSON PLEASE!!!!!!!!

CWeber Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Oh hey, If anyone out there is 'on the fence' because of all the expenses, we might be able to offer a couch, cot or floor in our hotel room (just a thought anyway) We have had our hotel booked since December last year for Wednesday through Sunday FWIW.

kbrew8991 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I've got my car offered for rent - hopefully a Texas region person will go for it, would be easy for them, good for me, good for the class (well, good for the people that didn't want to win [/smack talk]! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon982004 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Ouch...although it WOULD be thoroughly embarrassing to make that trip and get beat by a girl...is that why youre not coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 $$$$$ My "old" TTF car went 1:48.797 at 2007 Nationals on Mid-Ohio Pro, and the new blue one is faster. If it gets beat, it gets beat - girl, guy, whoever. My goals for 2012 are to signifigantly outrun that time in TTF, and for PTF to string as many 1:48s or better as I can in the race that counts. If there's someone better, kudos to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon982004 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was just giving you crap. My car dropped a lot of time on the club course in April. Will be interested to see what it can do on the pro course...and I have a special set of tires set aside for Nationals too Mikes gonna blow my doors off so its all for fun! (One day Mike..I will find a way! ...and I count mechanicals as a win! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 no worries - it sounds funny but I really set my goals around "me" - improve every time out, set new personal bests, etc. That way I know I'm doing the best I can and if it results in a win then great, if not then I did all I could Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon982004 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Thats a good way to be. Im happy to go faster/learn a new track/get to drive even. Still frustrating to know how badly you can get beaten. I just like to drive, and talk smack if I cant drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWeber Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 ^ and I love watching Mike often get better times in a TTF car than some TTA cars or any other higher classes... hehe.. I especially love the great equalizer of RAIN when a TTF car can be in the #3 or #4 grid spot (those pesky AWD EVOs still do really well in the rain though.. haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbrew8991 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Yeah, Allen out ran me pretty decently too - I was only 2nd that year. He had a 1:48.302. It was a really fun event though, each time out we'd both drop 3-4 tenths just from pushing each other to go faster. Results link here: http://www.nasachampionships.com/2007results.html http://www.nasachampionships.com/pdf/Group%20G%20-%202007.htm He was tons faster down the back stretch, but I could claw alot of it back from the braking zone at the end, through Madness, through Thunder Valley, to the front stretch. Was an interesting battle for sure Edited June 20, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon982004 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Dont worry...I think I can get that one or come real close at Mid Ohio in July. You guys going to be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWeber Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 ^ I thought July is the club course and not the Pro Course though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon982004 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I havent heard either way. In April they ran Club Course. Figured theyd change configurations since the Championships is supposedly going to be Pro. Did you hear differently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon982004 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The entry site does say Club Course. Ill look into that further. Are you guys just coming for the Championships or to one or both of the events before then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWeber Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 It almost makes sense to do just club course now to try to take away any prior possible 'advantage' before Nationals maybe? I could be wrong though because I thought last year they 'mixed it up' with doing a pro course day???? Getting back on topic.... So who else can we get to join the TTF Nationals group? If anyone has ideas, please post up or talk to your TTF friends!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The records on the Great Lakes page are only times set at a regional Great Lakes event and do not reflect Nationals. Mainly because they are the Great Lakes records and Nats is not a Great Lakes event....it is a National event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
