Slightly OT, but do you have to finish HPDE/be HPDE 4 in order to do Time Trial?
I've been really impressed with the relative safety of the DE events on all the times I've spectated/worked, and even my (admittedly highly weaksauce) lunch laps at VIR felt safer than an autocross.
Still, I'd hate to wreck doing an HPDE, which is why the TT class seems really appealing, the cars are spaced apart a good ways so if you wreck its really your own fault and I'm more comfortable with that. I think I'll have to get a track beater to do HPDE in until I can someday do TT in something nicer, if that is the case.
