On to the whole "public" thing, come on, we are all adults here and each have a comfort level we can drive at, it's not like there is any pressure to go beyond one's abilities even at real HPDEs.

Still looking forward to the event, and I'm sure there will be plenty of fun to be had on the kart track and the autocross.
I know, I know. We were collectively butthurt. We have also shared asphalt enough to be very comfortable with each others' respective skills.

I do feel the track event was misrepresented initially. I stand by my earlier posts and even considered asking for a refund but, in the end, I don't think, at least I hope there wasn't any intentional omission of details. I intend to participate with enthusiasm and respect for the process.

edit: just saw Bernie's post. Dude, I totally get it. Growing pains, planning, blah blah... It's all good.

...we can raise the bar next year. Jus sayin'
