944-SPEC HAS NO RACES UNLESS YOU SUPER SIZED TO GT-S

so we can take off saturday afternoon? will we be having podium/trophies saturday after the big race?(norm on the top step of course!)

Hey Rick,

Nice of you to say about me being on the top row, I never take that for granted, there are so many things that have to click to make that happen, if I remember correctly, you have the track record and win on the 3 mile course which is pretty good! For me looks like I will keep the track record on the 4.5 again for at least another short while, with my aging process, who knows how long that will last, I am at Hal Dunn's now celebrating the 4th and just got back from a dentist in MX and have a really good valium buzz at the moment!!! It would be fun racing feeling like this, probably wouldn't do well racing but wow what a cool buzz!!!!

Maybe a V-Spec sereis?

Being able to leave Saturday by 2pm or so could be good, but maybe GTS would be worth staying tll Sunday.

Thanks for posting this info. Norm.

Now, if you would please explain how Nationals will work. It apprears that Thursday and Friday are both "Qualyfing" races. As there is no qualyfing on Saturday, I assume that starting positions are set by the two qualyfing races. How does that work? Are some positions set with Thursday's race and some by Friday's race. Both days have qualyfing prior to the races so I assume that Friday's race is not set by Thursday's results.

In addition, let me say that it BLOWS to drive all the way to Miller and not get any track time or racing on Sunday. The schedule makes this a three day event for a long drive and lots of money spent just to get there and back. Too bad.

from what i understand, the starting position for the saturday final race is set based on a aggregate of the qualifying races finish. i don't know how they would handle tie-breakers. each of the qualifying races is qualified for separately. jim, you can race on sunday if you supersize, the GTS race is on sunday...

Jim I thought you signed up for GTS-1.

I prefer the Sat-Sun races since I am running both classes. I was concerned about having to race both days if I had car problems.

I know what could possibly go wrong.

To me the GTS-1 is a no brainer. Why drive all the way there and not compete for two National Titles. This looks like a great opportunity for track time, testing and tuning, having a flexible practice schedule. All good things IMO.

Come on guys sign up for GTS-1 and lets all give it a go for a second Title.

The rest of the GTS field is very weak so faster cars should not be a big issue.

Don't we want them to call it the 944 Nationals?

Looks like it will be a tough crowd at the front. Lots of potential winners. It should be a great time.
