NASA opening PPIR Labor Day weekend

[fhudsonjr]

As many of you have heard PPIR is reopening Labor Day weekend.

NASA is the featured organisation.

PPIR was puchased by a S. Carolina group and Dave Balingit of NASA Rocky Mountain negotiated to be the group that would be featured.

This is the event not to be missed. If you've ever had a hankerin' to drive, join NASA and sign up for HPDE. Make it soon, because I'm sure it will fill up fast.

This is something I hope to attend.

Julia's O2 melted her harness. Depends on how soon I get the new one, and if I can manage to find the time to get it changed.

Depending on another event that *may* be happening out of state I might attend. Otherwise I'll hopefully be in California :)

[fhudsonjr]

Here's hoping all 4 of you can make it.

Here's hoping all 4 of you can make it.

Well, as the O2 got hot enough to melt the entire engine harness, I am waiting for the the one I got to come in so I can change it out. But I would love to at least be able to bring the Talon and possibly be able to have Julia out to drive :D.
Mike











But, heres to hoping :mad:

[fhudsonjr]

That's a bummer, Mike. I hope you can get it repaired.

I had to have my Talon towed home from PMP ($450):eek:. I ben.t the driver side knuckle. $626 later:eek: It was replaced by Bear Frame.

Now I think I have something loose in the trans. I hoping to get it to Jack this Fri. More big bucks!

And it's not even a turbo.

[wolf20043]

I did manage to get the harness changed, now I am just needing a logger cable to pull the CEL it is throwing so we can avaoid the same problem from happening again. We will see if I can get those days off.
Mike

[fhudsonjr]

I thought you had a logger cable that you used w/the M100.

I'm getting my trans back from Jack Thur. so hopefully I'll get it in and running this weekend.

[wolf20043]

Its been a POS since I made it. I just need to order one and be done with it.
Mike

Hopefully I can make one of these next year. There's no way my brakes and cooling system could take even one lap right now.

[fhudsonjr]

Get rid of that "nasty" turbo, put in an N/T and your brakes will be just fine.

You don't get going fast enough to use all your brakes. You can use your hand brake.:D

Look forward to seeing you next year.

[v413nc3]

Bah Seth, just put some killer pads and rotors on there, some good brake fluid and come run some TT's. :)

[fhudsonjr]

Yeh, leave it to Jake to be practical.

[v413nc3]

Me? Practical? Fred, put down the drugs man :)

We're finishing up some small pieces on the car in prep for this race. The most annoying is the exhaust cam seal is leaking a little and needs to be replaced. Other than that, the new splitter and some strakes will round out the aero changes. And...gasp...mirrors ;)

[warrtalon]

Jake, what class will you be running? Do you have any NASA events on record? If not, I'm guessing you'll have to start in HPDE3. If I do it, I'll be in TTS.

[fhudsonjr]

If he starts in HPDE 3, he'll have to see if he can keep up with me!:D

[v413nc3]

I'll be running time trials. I was assured that my license would transfer to NASA just fine.

[warrtalon]

Ah, ok, I didn't know you had a current license. Everyone else usually has to do some sessions in HPDE3 or 4 first before being allowed in TT, because NASA TT allows open passing unlike SCCA.

[birelshifterkart]

What if you have a NASA competition license?

I might not have a real "racecar" avail to run that weekend, but I'd like to maybe take my street car out there if I get it done here in the next week or so.

[fhudsonjr]

If you have that license and it's up to date, then you should be good to go.

You need to check the Rocky Mountain NASA site for sure.

[v413nc3]

I don't have a NASA license but I was told mine would come over just fine.
