What are the M3 people upset about?
Mostly it pertains to having run a rather noncompetitive TT4 car last year then having to ditch aero, add weight or detune to fit into TT5 or pony up the $$$ to be competitive in TT4.

The new tire width rules are not cheering anybody up either.

I'm just glad my M3 fits into ST3/TT3 with its much simpler rule set. For the Boxster I'm still undecided what to do.

I raced the first two NASA events. Tim and I were killed by real GTS2 cars that came out from Colorado over the first Outer track weekend. We are now thinking of running the SPBs in ST5 since we basically will have our own group and now really don't have to make any changes to meet class with the rules as they are today.

Your S could easily be ST4/TT4. It is super competitive in NASA Utah.

You can take out quite a bit of weight I bet.

We need to have a Boxster dyno day!

Looking at the results from last weekend, my lap times (best was 1:49) would slot in 7th among the TT4 guys. The lap times range from 1:43 ("Team Hemisphere Racing" in an M3) to a 1:57. The only Boxster I see in the TT4 results is John Taylor's spec box. My lap times were 2.5 seconds faster than his, which might be all about power, with his SPB vs My 'S' with mods.
I kinda like that in TT4 I'd have some room to go learn some things.

I sent an email off to Matt Guiver. the website says I need a "NASA PAssport" showing I;ve been signed-off for each of the DE groups. But I sure can't find anyting about that NASA Passport anywhere else on the Utah region site. And I sure don't have one! haha.

Hope you're well.
and YES! We DO need a Boxster Dyno Day! Soon!

Breaking 1:50 on East is great. That is a major barrier, good job.

Just buy your TT licence from NASA National and shoot Matt an email to approve it.
