Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

Perhaps this has been addressed and I missed it, but we are bringing a tractor trailer to gingerman.   And even tho we have 2 cars coming, we could probably get the car from gingerman to Cincinnati and even store it for a while before ECR.   After that, we could maybe meet someone to pass it on.  Or maybe this part is settled and I'm an idiot...

Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

Chevette, the Gingerman-to-Dallas leg has not been figured out yet. If you can spare time to bring it to ECR and run it, you can pack lightly, though-- 3 teams (Tetanus, TARP, OKSpeed) are going to try to provide all the logistical help we can.

Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

We're racing it at Gingerman and hoping someone can help us get it down to ECR from there. I was thinking maybe I'll tow it halfway and meet someone to take it the rest of the way? We have two weeks between races so we can do it the weekend between races.

Has the car been registered yet for Monticello and do we know what the car number will be? I want to get it registered for Gingerman soon.

i'm trying to figure out how to get it down this way, but my schedule is tight. i really can't get past st louis and back in a day.

if we could meet there on a sunday after gingerman (the 21st or the 28th) i could take it from there.


if ECR were later in the year this year, i'd talk the girlfriend into a road trip to Kings Island....(inthesprinterwithatrailertopickupacarwhilewe'rethere)

I'll actually be bringing it from Chicago. If you want to do a hand off on the weekend of the 27-28 that would work. Where is halfway between you and Chicago?

Then Rolla it is. We can work out the details as to where to do the hand off later. Thanks for stepping up. Now let's see who's gonna race it at ECR.

Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

I'd be interested in fielding the car at Road America if that's still open.

Otherwise, I could possibly run t at the B.F.E.G.P., unless someone local wants to.

Fourteen time loser. You'd think I'd know better by now.

Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

It's easy enough to reserve your spot.  Look at who owns the car before/after you and make some sort of arrangements to make connection.

Then simply copy edit and past the list w/ your team name on it.

I urge all the teams to have a back up plan in case the Super K ends up on it's roof or something of the like.

K it Forward:

March: CMP NSF
April: Monticello, Gingerman Sputnic // NMF cabinboy
May: ECR  OPEN
June: BFEGP at HPR, 4 weeks to get it to Buttonwillow  OPEN // OPEN
July: the Ridge  OPEN
Aug: (nap. park the K at HQ for a bit of media whoring, perhaps?)  OPEN
Sept: Thunderhill, then 2 weeks to get to Houston  OPEN // OPEN
Oct: nap.
Nov: Road America  OPEN
Dec: Season-ender at Chuckwalla  SPANK

Get your requests in early.

Yes, we're running it instead of our 2nd car, so it's Team Sputnik Entry A. Still got room!

We're lazy; since NSF will race it with "20" on the side, we're just gonna throw a "4" in front of it. Expect some additional decorations.

Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

Ron is going to try to track the title down for Super K. 
Alex, expect it in the mail.   
DC/Ron I'm in LA for the next several days.  If it's not in the glove box look in the desk at NSFIRHQ - if not there Ask Tommy the chatterbox if he has it.  If all else fails it may be at my home in my desk which is not a place for the squeamish.

Somehow Ron decided pressure cleaning the engine compartment while the engine is out was a good idea.

I would totally take the K but I wouldn't know what to do with most of that shit.

A rotary would go in it.   WIN.

I suspect there will be several engine changes this year.  Why should you miss the fun.  The first team to make it rear wheel drive will be winners.   

Do you want to win, do ya?

And, what about adding pink zebra stripes, who's going to add pink freaking zebra stripes?  If not you then who, if not now, when?

Re: Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car?

Wonder if Marc has found a home for that Chevy Nova drive train yet?

How about bringing it along to Gingerman with a rear end and after racing on Saturday pull an all nighter swapping to RWD?

What could possibly go right?

Alaskan in Lexington, KY, aug 19th available to haul the Special K anywhere "left" on my way home, driving a 2004 chevy 1500. While a couple bacons for gas money would be appreciated, the chance to attend a Lemons race would be even better!
