Registration is now open for the HPDE/Race groups at Summit Point for November 1st and 2nd. Register through www.nasaproracing.com, and if you aren't already a member, you'll have to join NASA, but it's only $35. Hope to see some of you there, I'll be in a black JDM-front end Integra Type R.

It should be 3 sessions of 30 minutes per day, in-car instructor depending on your run group. I find that to be enough for me, by the end of the second day, I'm beat. Each groups sessions are nicely spread out as well, a good amount of time in between each so you can fiddle with settings/eat/watch the race groups. I'm not sure what race groups will be there, but I found the Legends to be simply awesome to watch, especially between T4-T7. One thing to make sure of, fill up in Charlestown before you actually get to the track, it's maybe a 10-15 minute drive from the track to the nearest gas station. The track does supply gas, but at ludicrous prices of course.
As far as rules on track, unless you're in advanced group, no passing in the corners, passing on the straights with a point. It'll most likely start out pretty crowded, with trains all over the place, but after the first session or so people space out more. Let's hope for not too many mustangs/camaros/corvettes, they're usually slow in the corners but fast on the straights, so it's difficult to pass them. To make matters worse, they usually have attitudes, and even when they should let you by (as in you're riding their *** from T1-T9), they just slam on the gas down the main straight. You all shouldn't have as much of a problem with them though, seeing as you have...oh, at least 75 more whp than me, but just a heads up.
