Yeah. I'd probably do Intermediate... I had a pretty interesting instructor with them last time. Really got me on the power.

It was an incredible experience. I had lingering doubts all the way up until on the grid ready to go ... then everything after that happened so fast you won't have any time to question your "nerve".

Sadly no ... tho I might go up there Saturday just to hang out, but I don't have everything I need to get out there again so was no point in signing up. I got a Z-1 oil cooler sitting in the garage I need to put on, and not enough cash right now to get my brakes. I change my mind everyday on what to do with the brakes anyway LOL.

Very cool you are going. Are you doing HPDE-1 or the Hyperdrive ? Either way dude get ready, you will leave "stoked" and start thinking about when you can go back before you even get out of the parking lot.

I'm very excited! I'm just doing the hyperdrive for now. I'll do an HPDE after i get an oil cooler, but I might change my mind on that. My checking account still needs some recovery time after finishing school. I know they're having another hyperdrive/HPDE at Summit Point in August and I would like to go to that one as well.

...that's what I am shooting for now, the August event.

I have been busy with this if you are a Facebook kinda dude:

VanguardQueue37 or a crummy web site I am still slowly getting updated Vanguard Queue 37 if you don't use Facebook ... I am hoping to get the car all done by August anyway.
