Default Hooked on Driving HPDE @ Road America

Hi guys,

Is anyone planning on attending the Hooked on Driving HPDE event at Road America, August 12th? My plan is to drive up for the ALMS and Grand Am races Saturday and Sunday, and then stick around for HPDE on Monday. Here's a link!

For a two day event I'd be game, but that's just much too far for a one day HPDE.
I've heard it's a wonderful track and I'd definitely like to make it out at some point.

Hey JD:

I hope you are coming back! I live less than an hour from the track and got my first Go Fast car...just an 05 Vette with no mods but have spent the last two day sending out emails to the respective organizers to let me know when the registration is open, I don't want to miss this fun!

I think I'm going to have to start a thread and find out why like every Vette owner isn't all over doing something like this...I am even if it's just once! Doesn't everyone that buys a go fast car have to find out just what the limits are without worrying about the cops...

I can't believe there are hardly any responses to this thread you started!

Road America is a great track. I've raced on it many times, although only on two wheels.

You'll love it out there.

Here's a pic of me in the kink, just after the carousel.
