USCA at Texas Motor Speedway...Who's going?

[chichirone]

The Camaro and the TA are officially registered.

Chris, I've seen Mavy shake itself apart before. Kind of like my alternator housing blowing apart last fall at the GG's event. Get it buttoned up and some testing in this weekend at SCCA.

For those interested, a group of us are renting Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, TX on Tuesday, March 24th for a test and tune day before the event at TMS. Let me know if you want to join us. ([email protected]) The cost is around $100 and there will be only 12-15 cars so you will get a ton of practice and tuning time.

Registered! About 30 minutes from home for me, so no hotel needed. Kicked myself last year for missing it, so I can't wait.

Looking forward to the test day at Lone Star, too - we definitely need it since I've gotten a total of 8 runs, 4 of which were wet, on our new combination.. Optimistic that we've moved in the right direction, though.

For those of us who will be trailering the car, and arrive Friday afternoon/night, will we be able to park the car/trailer inside the garage at TMS? Watching last year's event on MavTV, I remembered them mentinoning have the cars parked in a secured garage overnight. I contacted TMS, and they said to contact USCA. I sent an email to USCA via their contact page as well.

Any ideas?

The Mav is finally street legal. Unfortunately, after checking my tire tread, I am already at 2/32 depth. After this Goodguys weekend, they likely wont pass inspection for USCA. Anyone have a stockpile of Rivals, Falkens, or RS-3's you are willing to sell? All anyone has available is Nitto NT05's. All other brands are out of stock. Kind of pathetic that we are already starting our season and all the 200tw tires are gone. I can use 265-275 front and 275, 285, or 295 rear in an 18". Discount tire can get me the NT05's in a couple days so I'll wait till Thursday to place my order just in case something else comes along.

Hopefully my health will allow. If I can get all the young people off the scooters

Chris,

I checked earlier today and Discount Tire Direct had a pair listed on eBay. Before when I purchased mine, they didn't show any on eBay, but I emailed them and they put a pair up for me to purchase.

Actually, I just searched, and they show a listing for 4 of them:

When I emailed them they responded quickly. Perhaps you can call or email through eBay to confirm they are available, but the listing shows 2 sets...

Good luck! See you this weekend, weather permitting.

I have a question about the rules....

The way I read the rules for the novice group in the speedstop and autocross events that I won't need to have driving shoes and gloves and a neck device. I would need a SA2010 helmet and long pants and sleeves.

For those who went to Thunderhill- what did the novices do there? I think the requirements for the road race are slightly different.

I only ran the first day.. autocross and stop box.. no requirement
for anything other than helmet and long sleeves and pants

good luck and have fun.. a good place to really
run the car as much as you can and dial a few
things in as you go

Saturday night Holley welcome party is at Pole Position Karting. This will be a blast. We had a stop there during last years road rally. It's on the USCA FB page.

Anyone hear about Advanced Auto Parts having spectator tix available at their stores? I called the local AAP and the manager said he received an email and a box but did not have any details. Took my name and was supposed to call back but never heard anything. Called another store today and they had no clue and in fact the manager told me they were not aware of AAP sponsoring any events at TMS. Oh well...buying spectator tix online instead.

I bought spectator tickets for two of my
buddies at the event at Thunderhill with no
issues. Not like the event in Vegas where they
can sell out
