Six cars signed up for NASA TWS April race. I'm happy to have more racing closer to home, a parked racecar is sadness.

In other news, some PCA lap records have been reset running RA-1s, our local field is tighting up and we're getting good life out of the tires---good decision all around to abandon the R888.

Glad to hear that for the NASA race Michael. I'll be there in my spec Piñata. See you then.

I always enjoy watching that race, curious to hear at TWS what you think of it and how it's going for you.

Great seeing you this weekend Michael. Looked like you were driving well. I hope all of the SPB folks enjoyed themselves.

I think you had a pretty good look at how much fun the SM races are. Four-wide into T1 was a hoot.

Default NASA -- Spec Boxsters in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic

I'm curious whether there is much Spec Boxster participation in NASA races in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Just wondering if PCA is the only game in town or whether there are strong fields with other organizations. Thanks for any information in advance.

I just raced with Nasa MA last weekend. There were 3 SPB's. I know of 1 more built car in the region and one being built.

Interestingly, lots of people came up to talk about the car and expressed interest in the series as a replacement for the aging 944 cars. It's growing. I can't speak for the NE but I know of at least on new SPB in CT so I suspect it's growing there too.

PCA is still the biggest but Nasa offers more opportunities to race s I'm hoping more people make it to a NAsa weekend.

I got my most recent set from Frisby with quick delivery and they did a great job shaving them as well. Frisby is also a Rennlist sponsor... http://www.frisbyracetire.com

I'm in Minnesota.

I placed the order from TiresDirect.net on 4/22. I called them again this morning and supposedly the tires are in and getting shaved today ... so maybe I will have them later this week.
