I've been around this crap for a long time, run 10 or so different road courses. I have to say Nasa @ Sonoma is a bit of a cluster. So many cars on track, that they end up with cars stopped on track in grid, while cars have made a full lap, and are coming back around to grid hot. You add having TT and HPDE on at the same time, reminded me of the DC beltway.

Craziest thing I've ever seen, yeah I'll pass on that. I understand having to keep the sessions full to be profitable, but that was ridiculous.

Like I've told you and others.... the June event is the BIG one.... the other 4 or 5 during the season at Sonoma are fine.

Grow a set. Embrace the traffic.

I deal with traffic everyday, I race to blow off steam and enjoy the experience. Just know, its not like that everywhere. Dealing with crap that's unacceptable everywhere else in the world must be a California thing. LOL

I thought the same thing as you... til I actually went out there and carved it up in those combined sessions. It was fun and tense at the same time.

CA has its issues.... NASA Norcal registration numbers is not one of them.

Nuts and bolts of this deal. I’ve been with NASA since ‘03. TT started ‘05ish? I’ve told many, groups get large in TT especially when 4 is combined.
If u can’t be prepared for what may happen u don’t belong out there.
Darrell is not a rookie and quite frankly from what I saw I could have driven a bus through that hole
