    Mercedes May event at Jefferson. It will also be with the new track configuration (they added over .5 mile and a couple more turns to the track).

    This will be a good opportunity to drive a track that almost no one else has yet been on!

    No worries - the name is Rob. Thanks! I'd like to get 2 events in this year - one in the spring and one in the summer or fall.

    Man, I love Shenandoah on my birthday weekend, but my wife is also due the 17th.. Not sure what is standard protocol for husband duties when having a kid and how long before/after I'm supposed to not do anything. Opinions from other fathers out there? Looks like I'll only be able to attend Summit with NASA early April for a couple months.

    just feel it out as far as track time goes. every experience with a new child is different .id say 1 month prior and 2 months after is a negative for track time. based off personal experience. definitely no double days either. besides for the next few months after birth you will be enjoying the rewards of being a father and cherishing moments.
