Stokes Tire Pros Racing

First of all who is Nasa? This is the alternative to SCCA, Used when you race a car that doesn't fit one of the classes that SCCA has. For example I own a Caterham Super 7 which in SCCA would have a car classification of E production. Which are slower cars like Miata's, and old Triumph's. My car is highly modified to run against the very fastest cars in amateur racing. So SCCA has no class for me to run in. So that's where NASA comes in. NASA stands for National Auto Sport Association. They attract often Formula Renault "open car racing", SoCal BMW club race events, Enduro events. Like SCCA, NASA has national run offs between all regions, in the month of September, In Ohio. We have gone two years in a row.

Today Nasa draws over four hundred cars per race weekend split up into many run groups. Because my car is so small and light I choose to race against time, instead of head to head two or more cars into a turn at about the same speed. TTR means Time Trails, Racecars. The R class is purpose built race cars not street legal and is unlimited weight and power displacements this is where I play this game. Even though I have not seen many deaths in amateur racing is dose happen, as my friends point out to me. There are no do over's in race car crashes. As I honed my skills I thought staying alive a bit longer was a good idea. However Racing is like having an addiction to drugs, so next year game on.
