When I was there it was in HPDE as usual so I dont know what its like to deal with the comp people but the guy and his wife running the show were great people.


The best way to do a one day event is Chin seeing as they offer 3 hours of track time per day. As a novice driver I dont suggest Chin because they didnt have solid instructors a few years ago when I was doing their events. HOD is also doing one day Sebring events and we are more likely to do those events and you can request us as instructors.

 

Gridlife is a thing. Anyone want to do that?

 

Meh. I'd rather my n00b first weekend at RA be with NASA or Chin.

 

I'm planning on the October NASA event.

I need to finish the car before the event so I might be enlisting some help to put the rollbar, seat, and belts in

 

I have also heard that the Hooked on Driving events are a little dangerous with not as much supervision. Anyone else heard or seen the same thing

 

I'm signed up to instruct and run Time Attack at GRIDLIFE South. Not sure it matters what organization you run with if you aren't getting an instructor. GRIDLIFE has three run groups, beginner (instructor), intermediate, and advanced. Not too different than the four NASA groups. It's my only event that month, so I am really looking forward to it.

 

When is it, August?

 

Yep. August 27-28. Last event before NASA Eastern Nationals for me.

 

yes and no. HOD is a bit more lax with the rules and layed back. Like any event though, as long as you pay attention you'll be fine.

If anything I feel like HOD is more rushed with only having 3 run groups. With NASA you get more breaks to relax and fix your car, especially if you instruct.

 

Don't 1 and 2 run together with NASA?
