Re: Summit Point in November - D_Eclipse9916 - 10-22-2012
I see no MMers in HPDE1? :/
Seriously guys, this is the most track time NASA-MA affords all season, the track doesnt get too hot, and there are no racers to worry about messing with your schedule.
x2 bonus - I am instructing this event if you would like me to instruct you.

Oh and the lowest entry fees all year too, I think. Certainly the cheapest NASA MA event this year in terms of dollars per minute of track time.
HPDE1 is approaching fullness. Not quite last call, but gettin' there.

S2k since he hasn't mentioned it yet.

S2000, technically its on the approved list but most of the Tech guys recommend against running it

SHOULD there be additional rollover protection, yes. MUST there be, no. Broomstick test could still be enforced and/or instructors could decline (leaving that person sitting on pit road until a replacement is found), but... S2000 with stock hoops is fine for NASA HPDE at Summit Point. I was blasting around Sebring in a stock roll hooped S2000 during a TT session just a couple weeks ago. What awesome track cars, so much better handling than an E36. And I lived to tell the tale. :lol:
Re: Summit Point in November - D_Eclipse9916 - 10-22-2012
Sean Schutte? Evan making his comeback?
So far we have as best as I can tell:
Mike D'Amico in HPDE2
Navin Dhas in HPDE 2
Jake Thiewes HPDE 3
Brian Maeng Instructing
DJ Fitzpatrick Instructing
Re: Summit Point in November - premiershine9 - 10-22-2012

See what Felton said and come play.
HPDE 1 is not fast enough to be terribly worried about no rollbar, once. Just don't be dumb, drive at your limits and let the crazy instructor (DJ... calling you...) push you enough to learn something but not enough to spin wildly out of control. If you're focused, you will be able to tell the difference.
Re: Summit Point in November - Sully - 10-22-2012
I think both DJ and Maeng would fail the broomstick test
Edit: Chime in if you can fit guys

Hopefully I'll be able to find the spare cash to do HPDE 1

Peter Denbigh, HPDE 3, read to give wild ride-alongs to any MMer brave enough. Last one I gave to Maeng resulted in us driving backwards via the rear view mirror through the wet grass at VIR. Shady instructor's fault (j/k).

Woot!
Re: Summit Point in November - getfast - 10-24-2012
Although not a MMer I would like to be on the list for a ride in the wicked XR. :-)
Re: Summit Point in November - Ryan T - 10-28-2012
I have to be in Richmond the entire next week for simulation training, so if I can convince my Chief to let me drive my state car up there Friday (or maybe have to ride up with someone from Harrisonburg) I may actually be able to make this event.
Re: Summit Point in November - premiershine9 - 10-28-2012
Correction, unless my plans I've had for a trip with my roommates family (that I've had since July) somehow go to shit I probably can't make it out to this
Re: Summit Point in November - BLINGMW - 10-28-2012
Justin or Jake, any chance I could rent a car for the weekend so i can sign up to instruct? :dunno:
I can't say I'll try, but I'll TRY to try to keep it on the tack and be super easy on it.
