There's an advanced NASA HPDE at good ole Mid-Ohio August 20-22.

Anyways, see you in April!

 

John, thanks for the heads up. Sounds interesting! BUUUUTTTTT, I'm thinking of a vacation including VIR around that time.......maybe both?????

Can't wait for Mid-Ohio!!!!

I vote James for the floor sweeper!

 

Can one of the Mods make this a sticky??

 

Road America....drool....

Might be time for me to schedule a road trip to one of those events.

 

You mean I'm going to mop you guys up on the track? Or that I have to sweep out the garage?

 

John, I checked the MidOhio event schedule for August weekend, and it looks like a Rice event.......




Gary, let me know which event at RA you're going to. PCA sells out to Porsches only early. I'm looking into BMWCCA........Whatever, I'll buy the Brats!

 

Do you mean it's like a Hyperfest weekend or something like that? I think that's the name of that. I think you have trouble getting a lot of rice at the track. I mean NASA is just about the most approchable in terms of having a bunch of Civics with fart cans show up, and they generally don't.

My experience with MORPCA was very good last year... maybe it's just your local region that are snobs or whatever you want to call them.

The BMWCCA event here last year in October had more P-cars than BMWs I think...

 

I've added a few events since my original post, so I thought I'd re-post.

Sorry about the format. PM me your e-mail, and I can send the original excel spreed sheet.

 

I'll probably be at the S2000 day 4/23 with my S2k...

If anyone's dying to drive the track again, the cost is $200 for the day and there'll be 5-20min sessions per group.

 

Consider me an a complete Newbie or an idiot, but what does HPDE stand for? I'm assuming High Performance Driving ___??? If I'm adding the context clues correctly, I'd be interested in a few of them. I appreciate your tolerance.

 

Jonesy, don't worry! It stands for High Performance Driver's Education. Most of the events are run by people who want to share their passion for driving, so go out and have fun!
