I attended my first HPDE/track day ever.

HPDE 1 was so much fun. I don't think I've ever learned so much in 2 days lol.

Passing and getting back on line is soooo much fun.

My instructor was so confident in both my and the car's ability, he asked to have me placed in group 2 after my 6th (of 8) session, but NASA rules don't allow it. So I got a couple more sessions to eat the field alive lol. Except for a 480hp/500rwtq 5.0 with full aero/suspension/cage/seats/harnesses, and a 911 turbo :/

The trophy is coming home safe and sound with the car in the same working condition as it entered the gates.

I had an instructor try to push me before I was truly ready. Ask me how that went :-|

There's a reason those rules are there...get another weekend in before you even think of moving up...

Good job, got some video?

Yup! I'm transferring it now, then upload. With my computer though, this could take days lol.

Some sucker is going to pay it, too. What a waste!

For real. Anyone who pays $51k for that and doesn't buy a lightly used C7 should be slapped upside the head.

Sounds like fun! When I did mine, I nearly ran a miata off the track in the rain on my second day. Was out driving the crap out of him, but he refused to give me a point by the entire session and his dumbazz nearly went off track on a couple of turns. My instructor made me pull up to this guy afterwards so he could talk to him and his instructor. Dude's instructor was a dbag too saying "Nah bro you couldn't keep up with us, no need for a point by". I wish I had gotten that session on video.
