Have fun all! Hope the weather holds out. Do they allow spectators at these events? Maybe if I come watch it it will help with my weirdness about actually driving there. I've not admitted the weirdness issue before now, BTW....
I think Steve said they were hitting 170(?) on the back straight before they lost the brakes at the top of the 'Coaster. We won't be going quite that fast! Taking an extra set of rotors and pads, just in case!

In case y'all aren't aware of it, the CCA has coordinated a stated value track day insurance program for it's chapters' HPDEs. Cost for the weekend for me is ~$200--not cheap, but it sure takes the worry out of meeting Mr. Tire Wall in the climbing esses. You can link to the program and apply online, from the registration page on motorsport.reg.

No problem coming to watch. Just sign the waiver at the gate. I don't think you can do ride-alongs, though.
