Anyone plan to run nasa's last event for the season at Sonoma on 11/10-11/11? I'm hoping to run on Saturday and if it's a good day, I going to try and get signed off to HPDE 4 anyone else planning on attending?!?!

You guys should've came out (Greg and Jay!!!) The track was nice and open on saturday with only about 15-20 cars running in group 3. I'm sure the other groups had a similar turn out as well! It was pretty chilly all day, but the sun came out and the track started to warm up a little. I did my "test" to get signed off to group 4 and passed! Long story short, they "tested" me by having one of the instructors get into his race car (a race-prepped Mercedes) and chase me around the track. Since it was unannounced, I had some fun with him not knowing who he was. All in all, it was good fun and he said I did well. Off to group 4 I go next season! Hopefully I'll have my suspension dialed in a bit more, gutted interior, full cage, and slicks!

Greg, I'm coming for you brother

***Pics and video to come

I can feel the heat no doubt! Man, I'm looking forward to running in the same group with you next year and let's see the pics and video.
It's funny to watch the addiction take it's full course. You started with a stock car and some brake pads, now your talking about gutted interior....lol

---

No, I was just playing...no heat coming from over here I'm still way slower than you but I'd like to try and chase you around if I can keep up! Should make for some good fun for sure

Thanks for showing me around Ian. It is definitely a challenging track for me, I'm not used to being passed by E36's
Can't wait to go back and work on that track.

hey John, glad you had fun! How was sunday? Did you feel more comfortable on the track after getting a feel for it on saturday?

Posted by Hungry Hippo (Member # 537) on :
 
Yeah, Sunday was much better after I slept for 12 hours. I'm content with my driving line for now, but my car still felt really slippery out there, I probably need to adjust my driving style.

Yup, that's Paul! I was pushing hard trying to get away from him (not knowing who was following me and why) and I just couldn't lose him lol! He had some good comments about me to Morgan afterwards so it was al good
