I am there ... I will do both days my car is at 92dba there's no way I can go out there on any other open track organization

I think the track is losing money or something because I know a lot of people who don't go there anymore including me.
I'm sure this will sell out quick, thanks for the update.

It is going to be racing and tt only. No hpde. 35 car per session (race) limit

Hopefully by then Ill be in TTU ..... What is needed for TTU is pretty much a step up from hpde4 ?? Or do I need a full out race car I plan to have a 6 point welded roll bar certified race seat, battery safety switch along with relocation and an extinguisher .. That should be enough .. Right?

TTU is fast bro! The two top runners right now are a 67 mustang and a 69 camaro. The guy who owns the 67 mustang runs a corvette shop out in Hayward...he works with Chris (topnotch). You should go talk to him if you plan to bump up to that level, his name is Bob. Real cool guy!
I don't know what you need to run TT but I'd suggest some weight reduction since your car still has full interior and all that. By the way, Are you in hpde4 now??? If I can get to the NASA event next month I plan to try and get signed off to 4 ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

No I'm still in 3 I don't wanna get signed off to 4 till my car is set up which is not at all yet but in the next following
Months it should be there and if I can't afford the mods I'll stick to auto x well see what happens that 67 is from precision auto in Hayward and yeah he is quick along with that Porsche that runs TTU and life's good racing 69 camaro and let's not forget the Griggs prepped mustang all those guys are around mid to high 1:40's at sears point

You can run near 350rwhp at the wheels in a stripped foxbody and still be in TTS. That's the class I ran with pretty good success. TTU is for cars with big horsepower. You will need a fully stripped, caged car with aero to be competitive in TTS in a foxbody. My friend Jon runs in it with a blue Z06, he is in the 1:46 range at Infineon and the 1:54 range at Thunderhill. Those are very fast times and not easy to match in foxbody race car.

I've met Jon Lawrence ...I believe that's his name 1:43 around sears is fast thats he told me ran last time i ran with s
trackmasters I won't be able to touch him great driver and great car ... But I think I'm screwed Tim with 554 hp and 490 trq mm tubular front end ... I won't have a full roll cage but I will have a 6 point roll bar Maier will install for me and delrin rear IRS bushings coil overs as well ,along with toyo's I think I'll be thrown in to TTU ...I'll have some weight reduction due to no backseats and race seats . I wanna say due to the power I'll be in the unlimited class ... Right?

That's what I thought at times I think of selling my car and getting a 2011-2013 5.0 with better springs and shocks maybe a watts link I'll be in TTR easier class to be competitive
