NMCA/LSX Shootout in Norwalk Aug 21-24

Who's going?

I will be there running my stock 1LE in true street and possibly 1 other class. I don't expect to do very well since it's a stick car with stock tires, but the race is too close to me, to skip. It's maybe 3.5 hours away. I'm going to try to hit the 13.00 index in true street.

Is the 5th gen class heads up? Or is it just a bracket race?

I only camp in 5 star hotels. Lol

I'll have to do some research.

I planned to go but we made some major changes to the car and I still haven't shaken it down. Not to keen on testing it at an event.

Well, the plan was to test last Friday. That got rained out. Then I was gonna go today but helped my boy do a base for his pool. I'm planning in going to a 10 car rental this Wed but it's saying 80% rain. Then there's next Friday at some stupid street car shootout but if something breaks there's no time to fix it.

The car has been strapped down in the trailer for two weeks. I should leave it in there and hit Norwalk........ Just gotta get the trailer from Dons.

Damn these first world problems.

I have my brand new 275's on right now but the beadlocks are supposed to leave Weld on Wednesday. Worse case I roll it out and swap the rubber. More than likely I'll put max effort into going.

Any idea on how many passes you get at one of these events?
