They only need 10 cars to open up. As of now they do not have that. This is great track time.

Cars only this saturday. Winter prices $100 from 10-4.

I am signed up and hope it happens. Would love to mix it up with some other NASA drivers.

Oliver, HPR needs ten total. So, not sure how many more people are needed, but imagine not many. I know of three who are signed up.

It would be good to see you. Missed you at Pueblo.

Make sure the hood is latched! Although it was funny watching you wave out the windshield hole.

Kevin, I wish I could go, but I have previous plans.

I think that was Martin "the rookie" Willis' problem... he thought you had to raise your hood to enter the pit, not your hand!

+1 I plan to be there, signed up Thur night. Hoping the rain will be gone/non-existant and the track dry. I think my buddy Phil will be joining as well.

FYI - Might have some people looking for ride alongs, I'll some have extra helmets.

Had a great time trying to chase down Doc Wyte yesterday and had the video camera up and running. Enjoy!

Looks like you were catching me under braking, where my current brake bias sucks.

Car was getting pretty squirrelly under hard braking, too much rear bias.

That was the 2nd session right? Are you running race tires?

Are you running race tires?

i'd wager 'no', considering the amount of squealing in the video...

btw; Josh, did you get the engine tuning sorted out yet, or are you still down on power ?

Still less than I hoped. I dynoed 336rwhp at MAC Autosport on Friday. At the track it wad probably less as.the.car was running a bit rich.

My toyo ra1's are pretty noisy..

I don't recall which session, but I was on street tires. Yes, definitely making ground under braking, although I noticed you were often leaving a couple feet of track off to the side at turn in frequently.

I was definitely hustling the car around to try to keep up. Until Turn 2 when I blew the turn paying more attention to the GT3 following me.

I stepped it up significantly in the afternoon session, was getting more comfortable with the car and setup.

For sure. I had a great time.

Also, introduced a coworker to his first track day and I am sure we will be seeing him in HPDE next season.

Just discovered I can change the height of my brake pedal! I'm very happy about this, as with the new hydroboosted set up it was too high for me to heel/toe properly.

Between that and having too much rear brake bias I was having a tough time at the end of the straights...

Will be at HPR Sunday Oct 31st.

Was nice to see you again.
I had a great time, looks like the cooling issue i had was resolved by replacing the thermostat...

managed to drop a few seconds off my previous best time, amazing what can be done when you're not constantly watching your gauges and having to coast every other lap.
