Default #431 NASA RACE Oct. 14/15 So. Cal.

The National Auto Sports Association (NASA), the sanctioning body that I currently race my #431 Crossfire, will be holding its last event of the year on October 14th/15th at ButtonWillow Raceway in Southern California. This will be the last weekend for testing and tuning my car before our full 2007 race season which we will be the first Crossfire to compete nationally in fully sanctioned events.

Anyone interested in coming out to see how the #431 Crossfire performs in its class is invited and would be warmly welcomed. Information on the track and event can be found at these links.

For those of you who have never attended a NASA PRO Racing event, you will be in for quite a treat, with races that include open wheel formula cars to gonzo ricers. You'll be able to cruise the pits and sit mere feet from the action...

Give the Crossfire some love... Come out and see the ONLY full race prep Chrysler Crossfire running in the USA...

HDDP, If I lived near by (within 2 hours) I would definitely go. It would be very cool to hangout at the pit and see you in action. Is there a race track in NJ that I can bring my Crossfire and drive? I know there is Englishtown Raceway Park but I think it is only for 1/4 mile races. Good luck Derek.

Good luck HDDP, I truly wish I could join you but that's really unrealistic.

Note to Porterhouse, your closest road course tracks are Limerock Park CT (my favored) and Pocono PA. I have raced at both and Limerock is the best of the two in IMO.

Sunday results 5th, 4th, 5th... Gotta be the fact that I was running on the same tires that I ran the day before... They were kinda cooked... Or perhaps I got lazy, tired and stupid... Either way, it was a good weekend showing for the #431 Crossfire.

Now on to the 2007 season which I will be running all nine of the regional events with a very serious attitude ! I have four months to get this thing into fighting shape.
