Stu,
Save your energy for LCMT and Calabogie the week of July 6 thru 12. Three days at LCMT and then one day off then three days at Calabogie. Good way to hit both tracks. I know it is some time from now and we all have "no track days" withdrawl. We are all getting the itch I am sure.

can't do calabogie cars too loud.

i have mosport on schedule forjuly 24-26 w/nnjr
the 3 days at nnjr pocono april 3-5 they should also do the south course to change it up. i mean really 3 days on the north is way toooo much.

I've done a handful of days at New Hampshire. Most recent of which was about four years ago. It's an interesting track and like any other has it's strengths and weaknesses. The bowl on the outfield is pretty cool and going on and off the banking is unique. The transition from infield to outfield is kinda cool because there's a lot less grip as you're crossing the NASCAR back straight and it comes back when you get to the outfield pavement. The exciting part is your loose and drifting toward the break in the NASCAR wall and then the car grips and transitions from understeer to oversteer you can drag the tail all the way up the hill to the bowl. I've done some of the Pocono configurations too. If the pavement wasn't so bad at Pocono I would prefer it over New Hampshire.
Every track is unique and I'm a firm believer that you should try to drive as many tracks as you can.

I didn't care much for NHIS - maybe because it was a combination of an oval NASCAR track and a road course. You are in NJ, and from there I'd first "get tired of" (if even possible) NJMSP, Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, and Monticello (there are some PCA events going there this year).

Seems to be a lot going on at Pocono that same weekend. Check out http://thetrackschedule.com for other options.

NHMS is an oversized go-cart track. It's 18 miles from my house so I have to like it. However, I look forward to going to LCMT and WGI events and it's tough coming home after events at those tracks.
btw....April 4-5 in New Hampshire you are likely to need snow tires or at least all season tires.

don't do it
I've tried to drive as many tracks as possible, and have generally felt they are all good. They all have their pluses. I enjoyed NHIS on my beat up 3.2, but not so in my RSA because it is so damn hard on the equipment. Looks like you got some real nice equipment.

Drifting
I used to like NHIS, mostly due to the proximity when I lived in Boston. I don't think I'd travel as far as NJ.
I have some great memories from that track, and events from the Metro NY region as well as New England region. I miss the 3-day late October event there...

What Willard said. It's neat to walk around the facility, and watching road racing there is kinda cool but I'd prefer not to do any days there. Then again, I'm not a fan of rovals including Pocono. I will say I like NHI!S more than Pocono.
