Roll Call for Winter Meltdown

#1

Happy New Year gang!

So, who got nice race goodies under the tree for Xmas? Who’s busy painting their cage besides Ranger?

Most importantly, who is going to the Winter Meltdown next month? It’s just 5 short weeks away.

Also, while you have your credit card out, don’t forget to re-up on your 2012 race license, and make sure your NASA annual membership is good to go.

Those of you who are also doing BMW club racing, pay attention to center and side net expirations, and of course CCA also has the dreaded HANS SFI recertify to deal with.

It’s on my calendar as a must. I really enjoy freezing my A** off on the sandy, breezy plains of CMP. :slight_smile:
I should arrive with fresh rubber and a recent dyno chart. Who else?

#3

I plan on being there with a new paint job and an old motor. New one won’t be ready til the March Road ATL race.

#4

My Southeast schedule is:

April 14-15: Roebling
August 4-5: Road Atlanta
October 20-21: AMP
December 1-2: Road Atlanta

First event will be Memphis with Mid South at the start of March.

#5

It is possible for me, but not likely. RA in March would be a better chance.

#6

I will be there, but I’m undecided on fresh rubber. The short off-season doesn’t allow for much savings account rebuilding!

Then again, CMP is not forgiving of those who bring old tires either…

#7

I’m in. Signed up and ready to race.

#8

sadly i will not be at this event, hate to miss my favorite track but i’ll still be recovering from thumb surgery (torn ucl).

#9

Planning to be there.

Matt

#10

Will be there with old car, old motor, old tires, old driver but maybe new diff…

#11

#12

GASP

What gives?

NASA-SE proudly presents the annual Winter Meltdown at Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) in Kershaw, SC on Feb 11 & 12, 2012. This will be a fun filled event that promises to exceed all previous levels of NASA-SE quality events. We will have our normal schedule starting on Friday and continuing through out the weekend. This event includes:

High Performance Driver’s Education (HPDE) - drivers of all makes and models of cars can sign up and begin at the novice level (HPDE 1) and work their way to advanced driving skills. All drivers start with classroom instruction as well as an in-car instructor to guide you to drive your car at the limits. All of this takes place with the safety of a racetrack under controlled conditions.

Time Trials (TT) - Drivers will compete for their fastest lap times and win all types of contingency money and prizes. The beauty of TT is the fact that you can do all of this with only your street car and a helmet!

Sprint Races - All of the standard NASA classes will be participating, 944Spec, SpecBoxter, American Iron(AI), Factory Five Racing (FFR), German Touring Series (GTS), Honda Challenge(HC), Performance Touring(PT), SpecE30, SpecMiata, Super Unlimited(SU), Super Touring(ST), ThunderRoadster(TR), etc. Cars will be split up into groups and the racing will be intense to watch and participate in!

Competition License School - The best way to learn the strategies and rules to compete in NASA races!

Will be there but running the white GTS1 car…doing VIR the next weekend…CMP is so hard on tires, will be running some “free” 225’s and saving the spec e30 tires for VIR…

Of course the spece30 tires are 2010 tires that I finished 4th (or5th?) on last fall…

Come on y’all, where’s the trash talking. Who’s going to bring it and swing it? Am I going to have to take out all my rage on Harness???

#16

How about we all agree to run last year’s treads? CMP is hell on rubber. Would be nice to save the new stuff for RA.

#17

I’ll step up. I can handle your rage. :kiss:

:wink:

#18

Y’all do me a favor and make Turn 1 interesting this year, ummkay? :woohoo:

What is the SE plan on drops? I’m going to be heading up to VIR the following weekend so I think I’ll be missing this event.
