Pig Roast - NHIS

Did anyone notice that Saturday is North and South Chicane?
It sure would be nice to practice on Friday in that configuration.
I called the track and they didn't know and said to call back on Wednesday.
 
I was told that the test day is south chicane. while I like the oval better maybe testing on the chicane will make me like it more.
 
Ok I havn't been overly excited about this weekend as we have been working so hard on the "new to us" trailer and majorly neglecting the race cars... We wont be up to par on the track, but the new trailer is so worth the time as it will be used for storage and will make our weekends better... anyway time to get ready for PIG ROAST!!!


Alan Lorenco are you really racing!!! That will be a friggen blast.

14 cars in ITB and another 20 cars in ITS... Should be interesting. Who wants to petetion for a split grid start? I am in :)

Looks like no rain and hot weather (80's). Should be interesting!!!

Weather update, periods of sun and clouds, high's in the lower 80's and lows in the upper 60's. That is the weather for both days so far. Now, believe it if you want, because the forcast for today is sunny with high's in the 80's. It's currently very overcast, looks like rain and 68 for a temp. Go figure. Seriously, it really looks like a good weekend.
And expect specatators on turn 6 for sure. The camping for Nextel Cup opens up on Saturday so the race groupies will be around.
 
raymond split starts is a great idea. i think it would help the racing for the B boys

Until the B leaders catch the back markers in S and they want to "race" the B cars.

Just my opinion, since I won't be there.
 
Yes, but they might realize that they are much slower since the B guys came from so far back and caught them, and give way. When they B guys start up IN the S field, it's different, and the S guys feel like they are defending a legitimate spot.

Maybe!
 
Short weather update for this weekend. Pleasant, sunny skies on Sat. Temps in the low 80's. Sunday, a bit more humid with temps in the upper 80's and a chance of a thunderstorm in the late afternoon. It is most pleasant today and I have heard the testing all morning from my garden. Sounds like it will be an awesome weekend. BTW, Raymond and Stephen will be enjoying the presence of a new crew member. He already has his uniform and will be great crew as he won't tell them what to do. He will be there to observe. Be sure to come by and meet him. :D :OLA:
 
Re split starts. the S cars that we would catch should actually be slower than us instead of similiar to us with a split start. I really think this would help.we all want to have are fun
 
I do support having a split start or split grid for our races (even though many times it would hurt me more than it would help me...) so anyway I typed up a quick petition for drivers to sign. I will have it at the track on Saturday morning, maybe other drivers could help with getting signatures? We will have the (used but new to us) white 45' Enclosed trailer... The Audi banner will be waiving high, and the Audi's will be next to it however the trailer is still lettered with the previose owners lettering (Performance Motors Racing Team/Eric Curran, Snapdragon Motorsports, and Greenfield Auto).

Anyway stop over to sign the petition and/or grab a copy so that you can go out and get signatures!!! I think it would be fun to at least try.

Dear Chief Steward;

I am signing this petition to show support in having a split grid or split start for the ITB and ITS race. ITB and ITS have been grouped together for years at NER SCCA sanctioned events. We appreciate the consistency that NER has had with our group as we feel that this grouping has worked well as many of the drivers have had and continue to enjoy the opportunity to compete against each other. However there are areas that sometimes conflict.

Many ITB and ITS cars are held up racing against each other especially those in the front of the ITB class and those that are mid pack and back pack in the ITS class. While we enjoy competing against the fellow class whom we share the track with we would also like a better opportunity to race with our fellow classed cars/drivers.

We feel that this can be accomplished by having a split grid or a split start. This would allow the ITS cars and the ITB cars to start as a group. We do understand that ITB cars will catch some ITS cars however we do not think that this will cause any issues as passes should be easy and clean. This will also thin out the field (or stretch it out) in turn making it easier for the faster ITS cars to maneuver through the field when they start lapping other competitors. Overall this should create better and safer racing for everyone!

NER sanctioned events is always “trying new things” to make the events more enjoyable for the drivers, crew and workers. We hope that you consider our request and implement it for Saturdays and/or Sundays Races here at New Hampshire International Speedway. Thank you again for your time;
