I took my NC to its first hpde event over the weekend. Car is only on HD Bilstien sports and flying Miata springs so its still pretty soft for track use. I was running Nitto NT01's and a RX8 front sway bar.
TTE and TTD were running 1:24 - 1:27 laps. This was my first time in this car and also at this track. I ran 1:29 - 1:30s with a best time of 1:28 in the afternoon heat. This is my first year with NASA so I can not run time trials intill next year. But would like to build car now

So which class E or D. If I stay in E I will have to go to BFG Rivals or ? to stay under 20 points as the car gets 7 points before any add ons. Main comp in E would be Miata's

Or move up to D where I would have 39 points to work with? R compounds, areo, cams etc. Comp would be early M3's, type R,s S2000 etc. This is the class I am leaning towards as it allows more mods to experiment with.
