Rich, I commend you for your work towards fighting DMD. My son also has it and is 21 now. I will keep this event in mind but cannot commit to it as of now. I had a goal of getting my son on a track with me that was fulfilled this past fall at Mont. Tremblant. With a six-point and Hans device plus a good seat he did quite well on one wet and one dry run group, both in an instructor run group and not leaving much on the table. I hope you have the same experience some day.
Best to you and your son. Enjoy the good days, there will be many. I hope you get a lot of participation and I will watch that date.

Thank you very much Dennis

Please spread the word about the event as we are going to make it a fantastic two days at "The Glen". Javier is four so he is going to enjoy his first track event. He's looking forward to a couple of parade laps and he will be in the pits enjoying the days activities. Thank you again for the words of encouragement. We will change the outcome.

Have never been to a HOD event but may make a point to attend this one. I comment them for the effort and will try and get some of my friends up there.

God bless and good luck Javier!

I've done three of the HOD events, including last years WGI event in April. If you like tons of track time, catered lunches and mixed marques, this event is for you. Plus it's at the Glen!

And thanks to Qwickrick, I'll be going to my first HOD event. Got to love the tons of track time part.
I spoke with Joe Mills last week and this sounds like a relaxed, fun, and professional group.
Looking forward to meeting Javier, too.
NOTE - its LATE April, so there is a much better chance of good weather than, say, early April.
