Just in case you see my PG 370Z covered in stickers crawling around Summit Point Main on the 27th, IT’S NOT ME DRIVING!

I am letting a friend drive my car in the NASA Hyper Drive. This will be his first time on track so I expect he will be very slow.

And say a prayer that he keeps everything on track…

I hope he is buying track insurance for the time that he is going to be out on the track there! If it is only one day, he should be able to get it for only $100 - 150. It is SOOOOOOOOO worth it if you need it. I have been going to track events for over six years now and still get insurance even though I've never had an incident. I had a close call in the novice group at VIR when an instructor doing a check ride in his race car was passing me on a non-passing turn and I had to hammer the brakes and take a more dangerous line through turn 10. Not a fun moment. I have a friend of mine that had to put over $40k into his 911 to get it back onto the track after backing into a tire wall at 70mph.

Not only do you have to worry about your friend's skills, other driver's skills but also the deer that are known to come out and total cars. YouTube has a 'Vette that gets slammed by one.

I have seen several deer there on the property, but not actually on the track itself.

Good luck!

I am very aware of the risks. I am in the most advanced groups with NASA and F.A.T.T. and I am signed off for Seat Time.

And yes, I have seen many Deer at Summit Point.

And the one not covered in stickers will be me

How long are the HPDE events typically for each day? I know we have to be there by 7:30 AM. Not looking forward to that drive in the morning.....

I've been on a hyperdrive on the Jefferson circuit before, but this will be my first HPDE and first time on the Main Circuit.

Leave by about 5:30, would be my recommendation...

You'll likely go straight to a classroom session after the morning drivers meeting, and then hit the track for the first time around 10, with 4x 25 minute sessions. That's my guess for your "timeframe."

Bring a portable air pump and a tire gauge.

Khoi, you suck!!!

Seriously, we'll miss you. Next time you better go!

b1adesofcha0s

Yeah I have taken care of the brakes (XP8's and Motul RBF600) and the oil cooler. I guess I should buy a gas container then. How big of a container will I need?

What time does the event usually end? Trying to figure out how much water/snacks to bring with me. Anything else I should bring with me?

Appreciate the advice guys

After 2 good sessions, it's wise to top up usually. In the rain, I can go an entire day lol

I suggest bringing a 5 gallon gas container that you fill on your way to the track to save money. The pumps at the track will only accept your credit card one or two times (auto fraud protection).However, just let your instructor know about the possibility of fuel starvation. If it happens it is not the end of the world.

My general rule is to never let myself feel thirsty or hungry. I drink Gatorade and eat constantly at a track day. Contrary to what my wife says, a track day is not the time to worry about your diet.

Otherwise, it sounds like your car is perfectly setup. I will see you there. Have a blast!
