Plus Hoosier has a nice contingency while Pirelli doesn't yet in NASA so if you play your cards right youll only buy one set of tires all year. After that you just add (or subtract weight) to get to 6:1.

2020 regional schedules aren't out yet. They announced next years championship location at this years championships.

Here's a link to my write up from Nationals

I really enjoyed your write up!! It really sucks about that incorrect intake cam.....blah. And I wish there was video of your legs sticking out while you're yelling for help. If I were there, I definitely would have stood there and taken video before I helped you!! Hahahahaha (just kidding.....I would have stood there and taken video the whole time and made someone else help you). JUST KIDDING!!

Anyway, congrats on a great win. You know, I really understand that hesitation to run new tires when things don't count for the official results. But you don't want to handicap yourself to save the tires. It's definitely a dilemma.

I will continue to investigate NASA for 2020. I've already been looking into intelligent ways to add weight to the car. I'm getting carbon doors made for the car. I have a feeling I will have to put the stock doors back on for NASA to make TT1. As I understand it, you can only add 250lbs to a car to stay in a class right?
250 pounds is the limit but you should be able to work around this. I run stock battery for example. That's not considered ballast but serves the same purpose. Cool shirt chest is another 25 pounds.
