2007 NASA Schedule and Info (Road Course Racing)

[MATCHBX]

Not to put a damper on this thread, but there is something that anyone running a NASA event should know about. This is in no way a slam on NASA, just information that you may want to know.

People complain about how expensive it is to race in SCCA and how cheap it is in NASA. Well, you do get what you pay for. As far as insurance for events go, NASA carries a 10 million dollar policy. The only problem with it is it has a 10 million dollar a year cap. If there is any big claim against it at the beginning of the season, they could potentially be running uninsured for the latter part of the season.

SCCA on the otherhand has a 5 million dollar per event policy with no yearly cap. So no matter what, an SCCA event will be insured regardless of what has happened in the season for claims.

Just something to mull over a little. I know most people don't think alot about evnet insurance, but it is a very big deal if something goes wrong. And like stated before, I am not bashing on NASA, just stating facts.

BTW Allen, there is a rallycross meeting this sunday at Denny's house in Afton if you want to attend.

What does insurance for these events generally covers. As for drivers, isn't it standard that we sign a waiver to fuck ourselves in case we wreck and lose and arm or some shit.

As for the rally x meeting, I'll be in IA most of the weekend dealing with the wedding shit.

[MATCHBX]

I think basically it covers expenses incurred in the case of an incident. Medical and such. The waiver is actually a useless piece of formality. It basically says you know that there are dangers associated with what you are doing. It really doesn't serve much other purpose legally.

[Kracka]

Nice, I'll be registering very shortly.

[JET]

It still says registration is not available.

[MustGoFaster]

Looks like I got a little ahead of myself there. The info is up but registration isn't open yet. But the event we are planning on is still 5 months away.

I have a room booked at the Super 8 in Fond Du Lac, WI.

[AJ]

What's the number to that hotel? Any poolside action? And I assume we'd leave MN Firday after work, and stay 2 nights?

[CVD]

I'm considering this still but I'm just not willing to put a roll bar on the red Miata. Hughes, do you know if your car requires one? I know that for a while they accepted the small hoops behind the headrest but were planning on requiring a full roll bar.

[Kracka]

According to the NASA website the factory roll bars on the S2000 were acceptable.

I'll get the info for the hotel in a bit and post it up. I don't think they have a pool, and I'm sure with a weekend of racing most people won't want to do much partying.

I'm also booked now for that same weekend. Fri & Sat night. 2 bed non smoking room. I don't think jana is coming with me this weekend.

[AJ]

First post was also just edited to reflect the RA event in WI some of us are attending.

[Kracka]

Should we start a new thread in the Events section?

[AJ]

I don't think so, this is the section where all racing events would be since it's not a general event.

[JET]

Was the Super 8 room $83? There is a newer Microtel that is only $64, any thoughts on that?

I didn't look at that one at all. Same basic area with decent amenities?
