NASA at Grattan

Dave532 · 06-07-2008, 07:12 PM

Quick update from grattan raceway:

Practice: went off at turn 9 due to pad knockback and too much air in the calipers. AWD got me out

Qual: Qualed 5th overall...no one else in my class.

Race: finally find a good line but only gain .5 seconds. Finish 2nd overall, first in class. The only other car in my class can't run because it overheats.

A full writeup after tomorrow's race!

Damn that is like 10 minutes from my house. I wish I were able to keep up with all of this racing in my area

You folks had some serious weather over the weekend!

Unfortunately one thing NASA does not spend much time doing is
advertising themselves and making locals aware of the races.

All you would have had to do is spend $10 at the gate for the
whole weekend...you could crew, work or just spectate.
They even had BMX races on the south side of the racetrack
at the same time.
