Texas NAMEC: Update from February 9/10 Race Weekend
Presented by:

MSR Houston: The weekend started off with great weather on Friday. It was clear and 60 degrees at 9:00am. High for the day was 76. The Test and Tune day had very light track use until late in the day, leaving plenty of time for those that did show up early. The track was running CCW and conditions were great. Friday was uneventful with the exception of one of our DSR/CSR entries having an engine failure late in the afternoon taking them out of the race for the weekend.

NAMEC and NASA: 2008 in Texas

The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) and the North American Modern Endurance Challenge (NAMEC) Announce a Partnership to Bring the Endurance Racing Series to Texas in 2008 

Austin, Texas, November 20, 2007:  NASA-Texas and NAMEC have announced today that they agree to partner to bring endurance racing to Texas for Sports Racer class cars. The growing number of Sports Racer owners now have an opportunity for more races in an endurance format. Where sprint races are usually 25 to 30 minutes, NAMEC/NASA will provide 5 events of 1 or 1 ½ hours each and one event of 4 hours in 2008. This series takes its cue from the very popular and very competitive V. de V. modern endurance series in Europe. 

 "We are excited about adding a class of high performance, purpose built race cars to our racing community. The added challenge of endurance racing for these cars should make it an interesting and exciting series", says Shannon Matus, President of NASA-TX.

Andrew Campbell, Director of NAMEC went on to say, "We hope to build NAMEC to a big series like those run in Europe. We started NAMEC earlier in 2007 in California in cooperation with NASA and there has been a lot of interest. Bringing the series to Texas will provide the same opportunity for this region of the country. These are the fastest open cockpit two seat sports racers short of the $1M plus, ALMS LMP cars. This series offers a real endurance race experience for the club racer."
