Default Did I miss the NCM HPDE @ CMP Thread?

Is there a thread about the NCM event 28 and 29 Oct at CMP and I missed it?

I am hoping to bring both cars to the event so I do not have to share with Jake (or we have at least one full up at any one time).

I heard it is sold out so there should be quite a few from here going....

We will be checking out CMP again this weekend to give us a good warm-up.

OK, let's get this organized. Under the able leadership of Chief Instructor Tom (AU N EGL), so far we have the following participants:

Varkwso + Jake
No Spin
ErnieN85
GO_BLUE_VETTES + unnamed co-conspirator
GonzalezFJ

Any of you instructing?

Woohoo indeed!! Adam, I understand the event has been sold out for some time. What is the participant count, not including the instructors?

Will GM bring some C6Zs so I can compare mine to them?

If I don't break anything at Road America this weekend, I'll be instructing. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. It would be nice to know who's who by their forum name.

Finally got the car together, and engine broken in well, Busy week Have loaded the trailer, changed all fluids, glad no metal in the break-in oil. rebled the clutch and brakes. Very happy with results on the street , now just need to learn to drive with all the changes( biggest change is little to no engine braking) also revs like a banshee .
