Insurance: last time some owners asked...http://hpdeins.locktonaffinity.com/Default.aspx?cID=1
Lockton HPDE® Insurance Program protects you where you need it most: the track. As any High-Performance Driver’s Education enthusiast knows, finding the coverage you need to protect yourself during events is almost impossible. Over the past ten years many auto insurers have changed their policies to exclude coverage for claims "occurring on a surface used for racing", "at a high-performance driving event", or "use of an auto at a racetrack".


** VERY IMPORTANT DETAILS**

Testimonials:
Thank You Don Herring Jr. and everyone else involved for a great event! I had the electron blue Z06.

I have never attend this event or driven at MSR. I didn’t really know what to expect and set my expectations low. Let me say this event and the 1.3 mile course well exceeded everything I had imaged. I have attended road racing events with Viper Days (4 events), Panoz Racing (3 events), TracQuest (1 event), and Year One (1 event) at Road Atlanta, VIR, Sebring, and TGPR.

I must say I was very impressed with the drivers in the advance group, or maybe it was some of the nicely prepared EVO’s. I know to bring my track tires and race pads next time to have any chance of keeping up or just bring a tow rope. The M3 was probably running the quickest times around the track. I should have ridden with him to learn a thing or two or three.

What a great day out at the track. Thank you again Don for setting up this wonderful day. Also, Kelly, Mark, Laramie, Tim, Chad, Quincy, Tehien, and all of the corner workers, thank you for your time and help. We could not have had such a wonderful day without you. Leah wanted to make sure to say "Thank You" to everyone that gave her a ride along especially Tim who makes it look so easy, while going so fast

A personal thanks goes out to PTP and Kyle. They lent me a couple of tools that helped me fix my UICP (knew I should have switched to constant torque clamps). Also, after only being able to run 3 laps because of car issues, Kyle came all the way back to Ft Worth, fixed his car and came back out to the track, just to support NTEC and help out with instruction. He personally showed me a much faster line and is an awesome instructor.

Everyone that didn't get to make it out should definitively try to make it out to a track event in the future. I have been to track days before and to be able to run 5 sessions in almost unheard of and at a price of $85, it is the best deal I have ever heard about. It lets you see the limits of your car (stupid trans cooler) or better yet, your limits as a driver.

Super exited!!! Expect to see numerous Evolution Dynamics and My Shop Assist Evo's at this event.

I would like to volunteer my services for instruction, anything y'all need, corner work etc. Though I moved that is a good excuse to go back, plus maybe my car will be ready by then. I will know more as time gets closer.

random opinion: I think we should try to use the 1.7 cw! definitely a favorite and fun to drive on, great track.

Supraboy1

I'm in this year if we get the bigger track. Also are we limiting the number to a smaller amount this year as discussed?

I prefer the 1.7 for this event on many levels.
Its calendar is full; we had very few dates avail. for even the 1.3
The entry number is set by Don to help defray the expenses needed to keep the entry fee under $90.
I've had many superb compliments stemming from classroom and track instruction. I can only hope they all return. Posting your experiences would make great reading and almost ensure their return

I'd love to hear more about the differences in the two track layouts.

The 1.3 is very technical. This means (according to me) that the turns are tighter, slower, and often blind. You really need to take it slow to learn the track. Also, top speeds are much slower on the 1.3. Finally, the 1.3 has pretty nasty run off areas compared to the 1.7.

That being said, I love the 1.3 track. Funky brake zones and nifty tricks to go faster. The 1.3 is very difficult for high hp cars because it is hard for them to find grip in 2nd gear. Luckily, not a problem for Evo's!

Most people like the 1.7 better because it has a wide variety of turns at higher speeds. To each his own.

Supraboy1

I remember a conversation from last year regarding the number of people on the track at the same time... many simply said.. "Too many" I'm certainly happy to pay more to have more room on the track. The instruction was fantastic. Jim, Todd and the classroom guy.. All GREAT!

I learned a lot. I'm totally being selfish I know... but the GTR wants to RUN. Please don't let me sway going to the bigger track if thats not what the majority want. I know Jake Parker would probably want the 1.7 as well with his New Porsche Turbo.. But once again.. we don't own Evos anymore and I know its a Evo event. You certainly won't hurt my feelings if the 1.3 is whats selected. Keep us updated Kelly as I know you put a lot of effort into this event. TY again.

If it's open to non-evo's, I'll be back this year for sure. Did it last year in my VIII and had a blast.
