NSX Time Attack Event November 3-4

We have added another sponsor...SUUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT!
More on this will be posted on the Time Attack website....
 
Latest Sponsor

Our latest NSX Time Attack Event sponsor is Acura of Peoria (one of the local Phoenix area dealers) They are sponsoring our breakfast both days!! :biggrin: YEAH BABY!

and might have something fun to stuff in the entrant goodie bags as well.

We are working with them to offer a pre event service special for you local owners in the area too - stay tuned......
 
2 New Sponsors Added!

Just in time to be included on our event snailmailer (yes YOU will get one in the mail) the NSXCA has signed on to support the event. Perhaps you have heard of them? I hear they put on an event or two too. :biggrin: (Someone needs to help out with that website)

Membership in the NSXCA is not required to attend the NSX TIME ATTACK but is encouraged because it is the right thing to do and it will help stop Global Warming..:biggrin:

Swift is putting a set of their magic springs on one of the Time Attack cars that will be out there, (not mine, I have to make do with whatever crap was left over in the garage) and will be donating a 50% off retail coupon for a set of their lowering springs for the NSX!. Please note that the 50% discount will be taken off the retail price and the spring set sourced through Advanced Automotive Performance who will install them FOR FREE! you can't beat that :biggrin:

*(You will need to be a registered entrant and be at the Saturday night dinner to be eligible for all raffle items)

Re: More Sponsors

Told my wife we now have Hooters as a sponsor.
Told her that's where we are having dinner Sat night after the track and there would be Hooter girls out at the track during the day.
She looked at me and said Hooters ?
I told her, yea, what, did you think you were going to be the only Hooters out there ?
Then she said to me, "you guys are retarded"

Go figure....I never knew that.

45 (or so) days to go..........

In case you are not on the event mailing list or your e-mail client is text only, here was the SPAM message from last weekend in all its HTML glory. :biggrin:


NSX TUNER TIME ATTACK! 2007 Time to mark your calenders! November 3 & 4 is just around the corner!

This was supposed to to be a "45 days to go" notice sent out last weekend,
but I spent most of the last week creating a mailer and stuffing 1500 envelopes.
:eek:

Dali Racing is putting on an ALL NSX WEEKEND event this fall at FIREBIRD INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY with the help of Advanced Automotive Performance in PHX and our many sponsors.

When: November 3 & 4th 2007

What: The basic format is an NSX only* open track High Performance Driving Event (HPDE) that you all know and love all weekend long with 1 "Time Attack" timed session held on the 2nd day for everyones entertainment purposes only.

Where: to be held on the Firebird "West Test Track" - 1.1 Mile Road Course, incorporating 11 tight turns and a 3/8 mile straight-away. The elevated pit area overlooking the track is 8 feet higher than the surrounding terrain, the course itself has no signage which provides a generic background for film companies and continuous observation of test cars. This is a great place to hang out when you are not on the track as you can actually see the other cars for the whole length of the track!

Who: So far we have to following entries for the Time Attack portion of the weekend:

  • Dali Racing: (BOOSTZILLA)
  • GruppeM: (Alex's RED ROCKET)
  • Turbo Labs: (J&M Black Beauty)
  • TEAM NSX: (Mark Allan's RTR kit)
  • AutoWave: (fielding the AAP NSX with an AutoWave prepared CT blower)
  • Driving Ambition: (no one knows what they are doing but them)
  • Pikes Peak Acura: (its blue and fast)
  • Applied Motorsports: (some secret home brewed 600HP SC kit)
  • Pann Auto: (Boostzilla Stage 2)
  • Factor X: (maybe - they are booked for SEMA, I'm beating on them to put together a 2nd car)
  • S0S: We have not heard from them yet, maybe they will surprise us.
  • Basch: Are any of "them" still running? We have not heard from MB yet either.

All the the other NSX Tuner guys that we could think of were also invited to come out to showcase their stuff -- this could be kinda fun if they are brave enough to show up.

I know that you are currently more focused on making sure that you set up the TiVo to catch every "new season premier" announced in the fall, but lets get serious for just a moment. The NSX Time Attack track event is coming up, and you will not want to miss it. November 3rd & 4th might sound like a long time from now, but take from me on this one, if there is anything you need to do to your NSX before then, it will be here before you know it and it really is time to sit down and create your game plan to attend so that you do not miss out on all the fun.

There are enough able bodied NSXers in PHX alone to take every available slot in the event if they decide to go, so if you are interested in coming out to Firebird with us - whether just to hang out or let it all hang out on the track - don't put off signing up until you find out it is too late!

This will be the BIG NSX RELATED TRACK EVENT of the year in the SW region, (even if it is not being held in California) since no one hardly ever organizes anything, so you won't want to miss it. You ALMS people please note that I said SW.... :biggrin:

EVENT UPDATES:

* The NSXCA has joined in as a sponsor of the event.:eek:
* HOOTERS has joined in as a sponsor of the event and is where we will have our Saturday night dinner and raffle.
* SWIFT SPRINGS and ENEOS OIL have joined the sponsor group.
* TPR Magazine will be covering the event, so you might get your 15 nanoseconds of fame in their pictorial.
* Tech inspections for you local participants from the greater PHX area have been arranged to be available free of charge through Advanced Automotive Performance starting in October.
* BZILLA Stage 3 might be dropping by to breathe some fire on the track, but we might have to settle for Stage2..

---

Everyone that has an NSX is welcome to come out and run with us in the other track event run groups and watch the Time Attack event, spend some time bs-ing with the participating vendors, hanging out etc.

The track event participant list will be limited to 42 TOTAL cars to give everyone out there enough elbow room to have some fun.. but the number of non on track participants is not, so plan to come out and support your favorite! (please no betting - we are not in LV!!)

Sessions will be 30 minutes long, giving you several HOURS of track time per day, with entries divided into in three run groups;

Beginner (15 cars) with passing allowed on the main straight only.
Advanced (15 cars) with passing allowed on all three straights.
Time Attack (12 cars max) with unlimited passing.

All the usual safety precautions will be taken, flag crew, on site ambulance, fire crew etc.

There is pretty much unlimited space for spectators in the paddock as I remember from the last time I was there..

Every registrant - whether in the on track or spectator groups will get a goodie bag stuffed with an event t-shirt and other goodies provided by our sponsors, (to be determined as we squeeze them) and be eligible for the raffle items.

Coffee and carbohydrates will be provided for breakfast both days by Acura of Peoria, and box lunches will be provided to you both days so you do not have an excuse to miss the drivers meeting or be late for your afternoon run group sessions.

Maps to the event, event hotel info and registration info etc is POSTED HERE, the hotel deal expires OCTOBER 11th.

*Speaking of EXPIRING, the exclusively NSX-NESS of the event will expire then as well if we cannot fill it, and we will open the event to other marques. We need YOUR support to keep putting these events on. :confused:

More info at the NSX TUNER TIME ATTACK WEBSITE.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
 
Could I get some clarification on the schedule ...

If you sign up for run group A or B, then you get up to 3 hours of HPDE time on Sat, up to 2 hrs on Sun, and can also enter a one-car-at-a-time Time Attack session on Sun PM for another $20?

This is separate and different from the actual TA run groups which will be open passing among cars, correct?

There is only one TA run group for drivers that want the open passing option. All Groups are on the track at different times - the schedule is posted on the event website HERE.
 
NSX Time Attack Event November 3-4 UPDATE

While we have had to cancel the Time Attack track event due to lack of interest, Firebird has not booked out the date to anyone else either, so we worked out a deal with them for our own private 2 car "Test-n-Tune" track day on Saturday November 3rd. I must say that it is the most that I've ever paid for a 1 day track pass, and I do kinda feel like the lead character in Arthur :biggrin: but I digress......

Jim and I will be the only cars allowed on the track per our agreement with Firebird, but we can have as many "Team Support Personnel" in the paddock area with us as we require. :biggrin:

That means that anyone that wants to drop by the track to get an autograph from COZMAN or for a terror ride in either of the cars or to see the BOOSTZILLA Stage2 kit close up etc (assuming it has not burned up in the fires) is invited to drop by The Firebird WEST road course track between 8AM-4.00PM.

The Firebird Raceway complex is located here:

Firebird International Raceway
20000 S Maricopa Rd
Chandler, AZ 85226
(602) 323-2000

Get Directions to the track.
