Angry Bad News / 2007 Racing Season

My 2007 NASA racing season has taken a potential turn for the worse. The sanctioning body has just released then new 2007 rules which severely handicap cars that have certain modifications and weight reduction. These new rules bump my Crossfire up to TTC class with cars like 911's, NSX's, Ferrari 360's to name a few.

Also, since I have been here in New Orleans working on this movie, I accepted a six month production in South Carolina, which means I'll be racing half the season on tracks like Road Atlanta, Carolina Motor Speedway, Roebling Road and Rockingham, all of which I have no experience driving.

Oh well, time to make the car really fast with some radical mods.

Ouch -- that really hurts! Just when you start to think things are turning for the better, they dump these new changes on you. Not fair at all...

That really sucks... I was hoping to get more track time with you bud.

Well... I'll have to see how my schedule is... maybe I can make my way out there.

Sorry to hear about that. Now you can make a move on some serious mods right?

Announce if you will be running VIR since I live only an hour away from there I might make a stop by and watch.
