Default Hooked on Driving - New club in the NE

Just wanted to give a nice guy running a good club some press. Joe Mills runs the NE division of Hooked on Driving. They were primarily running on the West Coast but started doing track event in the NE last year. They have a great schedule with lots of awesome tracks that are sure to keep all of us track junkies satisfied.

Their inagural event this year is next week at Watkins Glen. They also have some days at Thunderbolt.

Their California events are highly regarded. I haven't been to one, but they get a lot of good responses from folks. Just keep in mind that I don't believe (at least out West) that they have an open passing group at all...

Couldn't agree more. Joe is a great guy, we were at his inagural NE event last year at Pocono. His events are definitely worth spreading the word on!

Unfortunatley I couldn't make his WG event but will definitely be doing a bunch of stuff with Hooked and Joe this year!!

PS, don't tell anyone but Joes' 944 actually is Vette powered! Shhhhhh.

Hmm wonder if it would be worth the trip to Beaver Run in July.
Have to check my schedule of events first.

Not sure how Joe designates run groups. So far I know I will have one student (Customer in Joe's terms). I will have the Torch Red 03Z with green tape on it. See you tomorrow.
