Our club has started handing out tech stickers for attending the driver's mtg.

NASA has a good system for handing out a chip after a mtg to get on the track for the next session. However, NASA lets some sketchy cars onto the track - at least in the few events they've hosted that I've attended.

2 groups in particular that I drive with hand out playing cards at meetings/classes. No card at track entry no driving.

The only reason to go out with NASA is if you want to get your competition license. That's why there are so many sketchy people out there - too many racer wannabes. I go out with a few groups here where I feel safe as I know a lot of the guys on track or have been out with them before. NASA isn't for me.

Would y'all please do me a favor and describe "sketchy", so I can be sure its not me? Haha.
I mean, are we talking about behavior? Or less - prepared cars? Or what, exactly?

The bulk of my time on racetracks has been bikes. Literally ALL of my track time in a car has been at private functions, prep'd cars or exotics, in some cases ALL professional drivers (except me) or in other cases, very closely regulated, educational track time. So as I foray into doing public track days, PCA, etc, I'll have an eye out for the etiquette I may be missing.

But give me a heads up what y'all mean by sketchy?

It would appear that the trial scheduled for May, 2018 was cancelled. I couldn't find a reason. A conference regarding the status of the trial is now scheduled for Oct, 2018, where anything could happen (they could tell the judge that they have a settlement or set a new trial date or ??).

Superior Court of Monterrey Portal

If anyone else knows any add'l info, please post it.
