A few years back when we finished the BMW CCA school at the Nurburgring we ran into a guy at open track day who wanted us to teach him the line so he could do a vintage race the next day. Now THAT'S *****!!!

i cant believe they are doing that either. this is the reason i go to the kojote events- advanced drivers only, no instructors (unless you hire a coach or bring someone with you on track - but its your choice), no manditory ANYTHING and no run groups. 7 hours of track time in two days, period.
oh, and the passing zone begins at start finish and ends at start finish.
yipeee

Let's get on the same page. The ONLY reason I go to ANY DE is to get seat time on a track before an upcoming race or to hang out with my wife (who drives) and friends (or to finish instructor mentoring but that's a whole story in itself...). If Kojote had a weekend event at Thunderbolt and the timing was right I would go, but I really have no problem with NNJR's policy. They did the same thing at Lightning last year, don't think anyone cried too much...

Come on Gary... the only reason you do DEs is because you can't get a 13 at such events

DEs are fun... you can freak out the flaggers with no point-by grass passes...

I think the most fun I ever had at a DE was with you Fred! After your second lap ignoring the black flag when the flagger by the light bulb came running at you holding it like a spear!!!

I thought the point of DE was to spend as much money as possible on your car and then drive 5/10ths.

Come on, it wasn't that bad. I still remember the idiot in the yellow Elise who started all of it.

I thought you only come in if the Flagger gets it through the window and it lands in your car, no? It is only polite to return it.

Lucia's - it's Italian. 787 W Sherman Ave, Vineland (856-692 0300). Best place in the area. You know I have high standards...and if u mention to the owner that you're friends of the guy with the Orange Porsche you may get special treatment.
