I'm in Solo. I'll change groups next yr after more track days. Starting to feel the traffic in solo after reaching < 2:20s but i'm guessing it'll be fine for now.

I was going to sign up for open or point-by. We have four of us in four different run groups so far.

Zettahertz, you should just move up to point-by, many cars there are still 2:20+ anyway. And since NCRC allows passing on most of the corners with point-by in SOLO group (If I remember correctly), you will do just fine, and less traffic there anyway.

Scotts300, you can just register for point-by, if you feel like its too slow for you, you can move up to Open afterward anyway.

I think I'll do that. I've never driven in their open group, so thought I would try it. And I agree, if Zetta is running 2:teens, that's fast enough for their point-by group.

It would be awesome if you could join us, John.

Here is the event info: http://www.ncracing.org/events.php
and here are their groups: http://www.ncracing.org/reg/rungroup-check.php

You could drive in their "driving school" group with SE5spd.

Houston, we have a problem. I just received an invitation to a good friend's engagement party for 7pm on 11/6. Do I go to T-hill until ~3pm or wait until another day? Hmm. . .
