sweet! did you sign up with TMR? i think they have instruction if you haven't driven SP before. if you signed up with nasa it is only the advanced/open passing group.

DOH! hope you've been to Sears Point CJ as it doesn't look like there's any instruction.

it's been almost 2 years since i've been there but i think i've done a 1:52.

it is also my favorite track for the same reasons. there is nowhere you can relax.

i think tmr is only on saturday and is waitlisted. if you sign up with NASA then it's saturday and sunday, HPDE4 only so no instruction. there may be spots still open.

BTW. like the red duct tape

chasen, orlando told me your lap time.
he's very NERVOUS that you might be faster than he is!!!
well, i told him all he needs to do is give you the slow C4S and get himself a GT3 ;-)
i have limitless supplies of GT3's for sale.

btw, he's really proud of you and i hope one day i can do the same to mia and mia's bro.....

I give props to parents giving/sharing their joy with their kids. Ain't nothing better. My daughter has 3 more years( actually 2 years 2 months- yeah I'm counting) before I can take her to the track- I cannot wait to teach her what not to do- LOL. Mike

Oh god Mooty- your going to keep talking about T1 til the last nail in my coffin : (. That was one expensive misshift(thank god engine is ok). I'm going to run with PCA next year- how do go thru the process and all? Do i need to sign up for a year membership with pca to enter the pca events? Mike

I'm waitlisted for Sat with TMR. Not much info on the TMR site, so how does this work with NASA mixed in? NASA and TMR sharing run groups? In that case maybe I could just sign up with NASA.

TMR and NASA's HPDE4 have their own run group. the NASA group is still porsche only just like a GGR event. dave found out that it is actually more cost effective signing up with NASA. you get 8 run sessions over saturday and sunday whereas you only get 4 sessions on saturday, for the same NASA price, with TMR.
