TDE motorsport ranch cresson 3.1 track event

Here're some info for the track event coming up on May 3 & 4. I also attached the signup link so that you can register if you are interested.

I'll be taking my blue track 3rd gen this time around so it should be alot of fun.

Just a helmet and a tech form sheet sign off by a shop. That's about it. This is a 3.1 mile course so plenty of run time before you see any traffic.


Here're some pics of my G35 when I was at the Eagles Canyon track. my Black G35 is under the instructors group on page 2. I'm bringing my blue track 3rd gen out this time.

Very easy = what price? I'd need 245 or 255 front pair, and 265 or 275 rear... I may just run these dunlop direzzas though.

I would need 255/35/18 and 285/30/18. Is there a way I can mount the tires at the track? I don't have another pair of wheels and I don't want to use up perfectly good slicks on the way there...

So what are the possible prices on the tires?

the price is going to depend on how many we order at one time.
PM me what tires you want, size, compound, ect.

There is an SCCA at TMS that weekend so I won't be attending this. I don't get why none of you don't do NASA events? You get better drivers ed, credit towards getting a competition license, 2 day event, 8 sessions, and for only $215, plus when you aren't driving you get to watch a bunch or race cars. Not to mention a chance to run all tracks in TX except TMS.

It's not to late to signup for TWS at College Station April 19-20th.

Anyone wanting cheap used 225/45/15 Hoosier or 225/50/15 Toyo race tires, see the South classifieds.

I used to race in ITA class (2-3yrs). The reason why I'm running TDE is because it is free for me (I'm an instructor). I just bought a ITA car so I'm planning to get it running and run SCCA again. As for the NASA race, I thought about doing it but I didn't want my 3rd gen bang up.

Better sign up soon!!! You can request me as your instructor since I know FD at the track more than all the instructors there. I also have another student with a FD that I'll ride shot gun with as well so you should see a few there.

Yes, bobby Archor has a shop at the track and change tires all day long. They can switch your tires for you. I don't know how much though.

Actually Archer is out of business. Performance Speed Tech has a shop out there, they do trackside.

Get that ITA car ready! Good to see another IT car, you may find though due to the limited number or double regional weekends in SOWDIV, alot of regional cars have moved over to NASA.
