Many thanks to the HVR team for hosting one THE best DE events I have ever been to.

Their format ensures an amazing amount of open track time. This is the best bang the buck PCA DE out there. I really like the Group A & B format, where A is the Instructed group and B is the advanced drivers group.

There were no more than 15 cars on the track at any time, and I had the luxury of instructing my student on OPEN track with NO traffic for 2 hours each day. Cool!

It was great to see Henk, Ricardo, Geoffrey, and all the new friends we made over the last couple of days. If you have never been to one of their loosly formatted open track events, you owe it to yourself to experience nirvana.

Great job guys, see you next year.

Thank you Jim. I can't imagine how good the write up would have been if I had paid for your dinner.

HVR runs great events. I really wish more regions would run this format.

a lap from the event
this was my 3rd visit to WG and the second in my 997gt3 (i was #3 in the whate gt3)
my experience is 35 trackdays
there was so much tracktime i fried my brain
i did over 400 miles in the two days and could have easily done 600 if i wanted to

thanks to everyone involved and will see you in the spring

Yeah, there really was just that much track time. It was great, and I would encourage anyone who can make a HVR event to give it a shot. You'll be glad you did.

Paul, great to meet you and I enjoyed having such a fine dinner at the Sececa lodge.

And to think you could have been at NHIS with Paolo and me...

Geoffrey

And to think we ended up closing the track early because everyone went home.

Paul, nice vid. Thanks for sharing. I'm not familiar with WGI yet so I can't comment on your driving but my suggestions would be to secure the slack of your belts. Don't want that blowing around like it is in the cabin.

NHIS = Not Highspeed Its Slow

I'll take the Glen anyday.

Sean F

When I have dreams about driving, I'm always at the Glen

Is there anything more fun than passing someone in the essess at the Glen during a race?

RickBetterley

NHIS -'Lime Rock without the charm'
But, we still had a blast with NCR.

I just love flying past a fellow driver after I rocket out of the esses. Flat out through the esses really gets a heck of a launch down the back straight (then I run into my rev limiter).
I'll bet passing in the esses is something else.

Jimmy.....till next time. We need to do lunch again.....

Rick, we sure had our moments.........

Paul, If your looking for more speed, you can carry more into and out of the bus stop using throttle to balance in the outer loop, Brake later into the toe and you have alot more track in T10 & T11. Going faster through T11 will exit you much earlier into the paint. Looks like you had alot of fun. The car sounds great.

JimmiLew

I thought of another NHIS ism, Not Happening It Sux

Paolo, Lunch sounds great. We can do a season recap and take bets on when you will be promoted to black.
