when you get a chance the Miata should be NASA-X F

ooooh 1st heat will be fun to watch with the battle of the silver FD's - stock twin turbo rotary vs LS2 swap

 

hey, i was wondering if i show up the day of and if im not able to get a helmet will there be any to borrow at the event?

 

Absolutely, we have a bunch of loaner helmets available for drivers. They are open face M2000 or M2005 rated, mostly HJC and G-Force brands, in any color you want as long as it's black or orange. ;-)

Please leave your drivers license at the timing table as collateral before your runs, and return the helmet as soon as you are done in case someone in another heat needs to use it.

Thanks for asking,

Jon

 

kewl, thanx

 

you tryin to go to this? if we can get some se-r guys out there i will definatly go. if i go do this cone dodging thing with you you need to come to VIR with me in november.
and if you get the glass and bring it over ill put it in for you.

 

I can't make it to this one, I'm in the midst of buying a house + getting married near the end of November and I fear my motorsports activities are about done for the year. I'd love to get out to VIR, Zach's been trying for a while but it's just bad timing this year.

I actually went to the jyard and picked up an entire door with new glass and all, so I filled the dents last weekend and am just waiting to paint it to match in my non-existent free time. Not sure if you remember, but I had that crazy axe slice in the side of it and it was causing a lot of rust inside the door. I do need to get with you and see if we can work something out on the windshield, mine is pretty beat.

Let me know if you make it out Sunday, I'll try to drop by.

 

Hey all, I'm new to this. Everything that I did before was SCCA. How or where can I find out what class I should be in? Thanks in advance.

 

NASA autocross classing is a "base class plus points for modifications" system. That is, every car has a base class (in order from theoretical fastest to theoretical slowest: R, U, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G.) Everything you modify on the car has a points value (for instance +3 for Konis, +5 for RA1s, etc.) Some things you can do to the car are "no points" mods (for instance camber plates, flywheel, bushings, short shifter, etc.) Every 20 points bumps you up a class (i.e. a D car with 0 to 19 points stays in D, a D car with 20 to 39 points bumps to C, a D car with 40 to 59 points bumps to B.)

Base classes and points penalties are listed here:

Once you know your base class from there, you can use this worksheet to figure out the points and the final competition class your car will be in:

You may also want to familiarize yourself with the NASA-X national rules:

And the mid-atlantic regional NASA-X rules supplement:

Hope it helps,

unsure how my engine swap will work out but I'm pretty sure I'm nxe. I need to sign up tonight.

 

After talking to Jon, that's where he classed me (nx-e). I was fairly competitive despite my suspension and alignment. You should do well.
