Just a little bump so all see this event. I can't make a promise concerning weather but I sure can promise a great time with good track time. Advanced class. Track walk.

Bill. I was going to ask if you needed another instructor (without a car) for Monday. However, it looks like you’re light on student drivers but heavily registered with instructors. If that changes....

Bump for a fun event.

Agreed - event was great. Heat/Humidity, not so great. Never drank so much water in my life.

Ditto

I don't know if it was fatigue from the heat or the track just being so hot the tires got greasy quick but I was 2 - 3 seconds slower after lunch.

The car felt very loose

I never thought I'd complain about a track day being too hot and sunny...

Yeah, I was only there for the Tues, and it was hot as hell, but nice to have relatively short but frequent sessions, not a lot of waiting around, plenty of track time, although I too was slower later in the day and I thought there was more grip!
More importantly, Metro NY stated that they are trying to run their events as a "friendly" region, and coming from NNJR I'd have to agree with that. Much more laid back and enjoyable, I'll keep an eye on their calendar.
