Count me in to stay in the Camper if there is still some room. Apparently I got the last "Freebee" worker spot for HDPE2.

Not a sure thing, but I might be able to get my wife in the 8 and me in the 7 this time around.

Scratch that, we are leaving out on the 10th of August for our vacation to St. Augustine. I thought it was the following weeked which would allow us to go to RA, but I was mistaken. I'm just glad I didn't pull the trigger and pay for the NASA event.

LOL. That's funny. It tickles me because we talk about getting 17 inch wheels and better gearing for faster accelleration and STF talks about getting 18" wheels to let him go faster because he's topping out the car and hitting the rev limiter on the back straight. Holy Speedy Evo Batman!!!

Big differance inpower there my friend!
WELL I CANT STAND IT ANYMORE!!!!!!! i AM SIGNING UP FOR THIS EVENT AND THE HEAT BE DAMNED!!!
I will have to take sunshades to put on my tires and buy one of those hats with the built in solar fans----but dammitt i have to have some track!
and really wanted to do RA one more time this year.
Think they will let me sign up for 3?
Who will be running what? 3 passing zones here makes HPDE 2 a lot of fun--if that is where the crowd is I may just go for that.

I was under the impression that you have to get signed off to move from HPDE 2 to HPDE 3. But email Julie Pantas and ask. That would be the best way to get your answer. I am working the event, so only spectating for me. But I think that if you signed up in 2, you will have plenty of rotary powered company.


Rotor On,

Dragger, let me know, and I will see if I can catch a ride with you. Also, PM Varkso, didn't he instruct you? He could tell you for sure.

Yeah, 1:38's is fast, but with the new alignment and new race tires....

Wife may visit --she has a sister that lives only 15 miles from the track.
Would welcome the company STF! You can experience 1st hand my swearing as I come through 12 I have had many instructors that have signed me off on saturdays, asked me about going to 3 but i told them i was having too much fun in 2. I like being with the crowd. But since others are moving up then i would not be so lonely
This event is not far away guys!
Think maybe this time we can set up over by the bathrooms so we can get a little shade?

Guys, I can't wait to get down for this event. I am going to be on full slicks, and hopefully, will have the turbo kit on. If I have the turbo kit, then I am shooting for 35's, but without it I will be looking for any time under 1:40's.

Me Too! Me Too!

Well I have signed up too. I thought about going to Mid-Ohio to do a NASA event on the same weekend with a friend of mine ... but then decided that it was too far and that I would miss you Rotorheads. I signed up for HPDE 3.

Is anyone staying in a hotel? I haven't gotten a reservation yet.

Silver and all-- if we can get the area by the trees it will be better. On a hot day our cars setting in those asphalt pits will have tire surface temps over 150F and that is not good. If we have the shade it will be ok
Think about it.
