I just signed up. Anyone else going? I'll probably be in the driving school since I haven't been on a track since 2003.

I'll likely sign up. Let's just hope they don't use that "no-rain guarantee" they're speaking of.
BTW, their driving school is really good. I did it myself just last month.
Hope to see you there!

So NCRC said that I qualify for the Solo group since I have 1 track day. What do you think? Should I skip the Driving School thing?

That depends, how did your last track day go? How comfortable were you last time out? It's been 8 years since you were last on track and was it at this track or somewhere else?
If they have a good driving school maybe you could do it half day then and the rest by yourself.

I say you take the school and have an instructor with you the whole day. I've never driven with NCRC before, but I have to say that my instructors with NASA and TMR were both extremely helpful and I probably wouldn't be as hooked on this sport if it weren't for them! Their tips and suggestions, whether it be small or large, will benefit you forever. Since you haven't been on the track in so long, having them will definitely benefit you. Plus, you'll probably feel more comfortable with them by your side coaching you through the course and end up having a more successful day

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will stick with the school. I just checked the schedule and school is only the 1st half of the day, then I'm on my own for the 2nd half. It's gonna be a blast!

Yep, first 3 sessions are school, last 2 are all yours.
If you have specific questions about the driving school, PM me. I'll do my best to answer.

You might want to detune your car a bit before hitting the track. 730rwhp may get you into some trouble
on a road course.

As much fun as it may be, no one ever said you have to stomp the pedal to the floor 100%.

damn...i havent seen you post on here in forever! How you been bro?
Not sure if you remember me, but I bought the cracked cowl hood off you YEARS ago. What are you bringing out to the track? If I recall correctly, didn't you have that green sn95 GT with either MM or Griggs components?

Does anyone going to this race have extra gloves I can borrow for the day? I ordered some, but they never showed up.

I didn't realize this event was right after the big game so I didn't go. Hope you found a pair and not much rain

I had an absolute blast today! It stopped raining at 7am and was sunny most of the day. I need so much more practice. I am super slow!
