Default Ultimate Track Car Challenge UTCC 2014

I just got the email that I'm on the short list of hopefuls for the entry into this years! I now have my TT and Instructors cert from NASA and VIR is my home track! I've been wanting to do this for years and finally I have a shot! Wish me luck! Shamless plug, sponsors welcome! I need tires!

Congrats Miles. Would like nothing more than to see one of the lower budget builds make that event.

Thanks G, I'm pretty sure I'm in, I just talked to the Director and he said I'm good to go. My car is very fast at VIR and I know the track pretty good. I'm taking the car to Summit Point in June, I hope it holds together till July. With good tires I think I can run a 2:02 or 2:03 lap around VIR, which won't win the Challange but would be right up there with the fast guys. I ran a 2:08 last time out on crappy tires.

got the car all back together, bigger better stronger. New Trans, made a new front splitter and fixed a bunch of gremlins in addition to adding a transponder. Loading up tonight for the trip to the track tomorrow. There are 5 vintage cars in this year's UTCC, I know I'm faster than at least one, the others I've never run against. I'll post pics from the track!
