Just a total mess. First time with this org, so I was in Group C at first. It was the same schedule as Turn2, but:
First session: Two timed laps, then black flag for a miata dumping dirt all over T3 Second session: Check ride into group B. Two timed laps, then a black flag for i dunno what. Third and fourth sessions were okayish. They also added an extra session for Group C from 1230-1 due to the earlier issues, but at that point I was no longer in Group C so I didn't go out. Fifth session: Cancelled entirely because a Group A NSX got buried in the sand outside T8. When they finally got him out, the tow driver told him to stay on the grass for a bit. He didn't. He left a trail of gravel around the track that had to be cleared. Track was shut down for 40 minutes. Sixth session: I didn't get the memo, but it was moved from 3:20 to 3:15. They were trying to make sure everyone still got the same number of sessions. I got out there at 3:16. They threw the checkered at 3:21. Seventh session: They decided to split up the 4pm block into two 30-minute sessions, so I finally got a decent run. All in all, I wasn't thrilled. I got 3 usable track sessions out of 7. I realize that the organizers weren't responsible for all of the issues, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth. Edit: for the 3 sessions I got, I only gave point-bys to an NSX and two M3s, so I felt good about that. Passed a lot of the 86s out there, but I didn't really talk to them afterwards. Wasn't feeling particularly social due to the general bad mood. |

The guy in the mostly stock silver FRS was cool. He was pretty fast in that thing too. He did both days and helped instruct on Sunday.

I'm registered for that event, but I don't know if I'll be able to go. I cracked my JDL header on Sunday sometime during the afternoon sessions. JDL will take care of me with the warranty, but I'll still be without a header for a while (and I'd rather not track on a stock header with my current tune). Event was pretty smooth otherwise. Much better than last time I went with TSS/RevScene. Lots of traffic, though, so I could only manage a 2:04.00. |

I want to make it to ORP once this year, so it's NWAA or Team Continental I n September...so far NWAA wins for the cheap track day award.
