IMHO- I think you will beating on your car less. I believe that lap record for Firebird East is around 55 seconds. You will have a total of 6 runs, so you are running your car a total of around 6 minutes spread over 4 hours.

As far as the weather is concerned, I would be surprised if the temperature was in the low 90's before the event is over.

yeah u guys are probably right..does anybody know if they make you keep the top up?

4DCurvs

If its anything like NASA HPDE, they should allow the top down.

If any of you guys are remotely thinking about attending this NASA-X event, please sign up today or tomorrow. There needs to be atleast 50 signed up by Sunday evening in order for the event to happen.

I still don't know for sure if I can get the day off... my boss has to look at the schedule on monday.

I would love to but I have no NASA experience

Any autocross experience?

I got this information from the NASA website:

"Novice autocrossers are okay but no beginners (i.e. no 1st time autocrosser or HPDE'r).

the fan

I am an absolute beginner. I have absolutely no organized racing experience

Just an FYI- The event is cancelled....for now. I received this email:

Well guys/gals, unfortunately I am currently at 35 registered and only 11 checks in hand. If I had 30+ checks in hand I might be willing to move forward but at this point it's just too big of a financial risk for me to take on. I have canceled the contract with FIR.

BUT... I have asked FIR for some additional dates later this year. I think the course will be one of the best Arizona has ever seen and I still want to do the event at some point. I think cooler weather and more advance notice will make this a successul event.
