Feel free. Have HPD ship it with a car they might bring. We will be heading to King Motorsports and/or RTR probably as well. RealTime will be there, Peter Cunningham will be there and possible PK as well.
Has to pass the broomstick test though. Edit: Just checked, there are 3 S2K's signed up and paid currently A few GT3s also.

I should bring both my BRZ and ITR so I can sell my ITR to @Dave-ROR after the event is done lol.
What's the rule for ride-alongs? |

I'm guessing beginners and intermediates will have instructors? Do the instructors let you ride solo and give ride-alongs once they're comfortable with the student?

On side note, I was thinking about applying to HPD to become an engineer there as I have a few contacts in there, but Santa Clarita is going to suck in the summer... Last edited by CSG David; 02-24-2014 at 06:29 PM. |

Yes, although that's more likely for an intermediate student. With a two day even many novices will get signed off for the second day or part of it but it's not a sure bet. It obviously depends on the student. However since everyone is very chill at this event you can get a ride for the person in basically any experienced drivers car.

That's why I rarely tracked my S2K, most east coast groups required the broomstick test and I could never pass it HPD has been great to work with from a grassroots side and Honda/Acura/HPD have been great to work with on the Expo side of things too

Just gotta slide and do the gangster lean to drive away and then roll the seat back up while I drive off. On a side note, I've seen several S2k rollovers with no aftermarket roll protection. Usually 100mph rolls. They faired quite well to say the least. |

Plus I can't let setups that I wouldn't trust on track in good conscience. S2K's do tend to hold up well but with any roadster there are increased risks (helmet on curbing while OEM bar is in the sand next to curbing, etc...)

Wish I had the time and patience to drive 20+ hours to this! looks like a blast! You couldn't have picked a better time of the year to host an event up there.

Unfortunately, all other roadsters do not fair well...the S2k for some reason does really well. I definitely don't want to be a statistic though. |
