Harris Hill Road Raceway HPDE

There has been some interest in an HPDE class at Harris Hill so I decided to go check it out last Thursday...

They have an outside guy that rents the track for the day and does a group HPDE class, Phillip at Harris Hill does expect at least one this fall but does not have the date yet. He also couldn't give a definite price but expects it to be $175-$200. I'll post more info when I get it.

I did their mini school and here's what I learned: 1) I need to learn to heel/toe 2) It doesn't take much to reach the limit of the stock tires(I know, a no-brainer) 3) I've got a lot to learn 4) The track is a blast, can't wait to do it again (Oct 19, Time Trials, also at Harris Hill)!!

The track is a 1.82-mile, 11-turn asphalt road course. The Mini-school I did cost $250 and consisted of: 20 min's classroom, 15 min's of follow the instructor around the track to learn the racing line, 15 min's of in-car instruction, 5 minutes in classroom, 25 more min's of in-car instruction, then a 15 min solo run(video below), 20 min break, then a final 20 min solo run. I got more than the 2 hours it's scheduled for because it was a Thursday so I was the only student and there was no one else on track.....
