I will be there Friday on the Comp School panel, but not racing this weekend. Testing with Rezoom Motorsports last Thursday identified an item I have to address and will not have time before the NASA event.

^ Why no track time? If you instruct you get to run in HPDE-4.

I feel your pain. Couldn't swing the Hoosiers, trying the cheaper RA-1s for the first time.

I'll be there for open track on friday and instructing for the weekend.

That really hurt! I am the father!

It was me. I go to a hair stylist and have my hair dyed gray and thinned (a lot) so I look older than I really am.

I was planning to sign up to run hpde in my Z28, but found out this week at work would most likely have me working the weekend, or atleast saturday so I passed. Might come by to spectate sunday if I'm off since I live close by. Maybe I'll bring my helmet and beg for a ride along from some of y'all that have a passenger seat who run hpde, it would be good research since I'm thinking of upgrading to a vette

I just remember you told me your son was named Ed and he had the C4 race car now. I couldn't remember who had which screen name.

This is my first event and I'm in Hyperdrive.

I was also hoping to catch a ride with someone in HPDE 4.

If you see a NBM '01 Coupe that'll most likely be me. Stop by and say hi.

I'll be there instructing and running in HPDE 4. Will likely park on the hill, but won't get in until late Friday night.

Look forward to putting forum handles to faces and cars.

Come up on the hill. There are a bunch of us that would be happy to foster the addiction by giving a ride.
