now that the NCAC is in Sanford i guess i will be attending. but there is a problem. which car?

my first question is; What is a "National Level" course typically?

if i bring the corvette i would run ASP just because i already have run that class this season. however if the course is tight and short and intensive this would not be the car to bring.

if i bring the BMW i would have to run SM w/R's or maybe DM or DP as PAX has killed me in TIR.

or i could just sit at home all weekend. 8)

Is the BMW legal for DSP? Do you have good R's for it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a "National style course" is generally more open, fast and not very cone intensive.

Steve, you should bring both. You can drive the bimmer and I'll drive the Vette. :twisted:

Bring the Vette and run in SuperStock :twisted:

A national style course would be one that is a bit more open, fewer cones and hopefully smooth and quick. Of course, out of the many national courses I have been to this year only one or two would meet 100% of the description above. :roll:

I beleive I observed that at VIR a couple of weeks ago on Monday morning for the 1st session :nana: :wave:

Bring the Bimmer. Don't abuse your Vette. It's bad for it. You keep that garage queen in good shape. I might need a replacement in a year or two :wink:

I wanted to go, but Graham was complaining that the water would splash on his gay pink shelf liner and make it look funny so he convinced me that it was raining too hard. :P I should have known better.

Bring the vette and rag it out a bit, it will give me a time to shoot at :wink:
