Guess what?
NASA TREC race teams can snag some awesome contingency awards! Besides having a blast, winning a fantastic trophy, and racking up points for the season championship, your team can also earn these cool awards from companies like Toyo Tires, BF Goodrich Tires, Maxxis Tires, Hawk Performance, and Motion Control Suspension (MCS). These awards are usually given as credits or vouchers for product purchases, which means they’re pretty valuable.
The next opportunity to win these contingencies is at the full-weekend NASA Great Lakes TREC event at Nelson Ledges on August 7-9. Don’t miss out—REGISTER NOW!

Happy 70th Birthday, John Janosik!
Please join us in wishing John a very happy 70th birthday!
Since joining NASA in 2020, John has been a great friend to the club and a valued volunteer with NASA Great Lakes TREC and Tech. He’s always willing to lend a hand and help make our events successful.
John has also been making steady progress in the HPDE program, proving that it’s never too late to keep learning and having fun behind the wheel. In fact, this past weekend he was out at Gingerman, tossing his famous “Papa Smurf” Miata around the track !
Thanks for everything you do, John. We hope you have a fantastic birthday and enjoy many more years of volunteering, track days, and Miata adventures.
Happy 70th, John! 🎂🎉🏁🚙💙
