Of course it could happen. All you need is a NASA Competition License, a car that meets all USTCC rules and a check for the entry fee.

nice thanks, yeah i've read the rule book...some pretty specific rules, like adding weight for having awd. Do you have any links Mr. Sheehan for obtaining the NASA license. thanks very much appreciated information.

The NASA website is www.nasaproracing.com

If you don't hold a license from another sanctioning body, like SCCA or FIA, you will need to attend several HPDE (High Performance Driving Events) with NASA to be coached and learn how to drive on a racetrack. You progress up through the HPDE program with constant instruction, until you get to the point where you are judged ready for a racing licence.

NASA will accept other licenses from sanctioning bodies.

stock....and here's why...

1 clean lap - Pocono East - Right Click & Save As - 12.6 MB

notice any significant boy roll, dive or squat?

neither did i.

my point is, take it out and track it as is...then decide if you need to spend $$$ on suspension mods.
