All good mang, let us know how it goes. I'm definitely down to do a TNIA there if the place ever opens. Escaping during the week is a lot easier for me.

Here is a vid from NASA's email.

Course looks... Generic. I'm excited to try it out, but I agree with most, HPDE, cool. Racing, a little scary.

Any one interested in a cheap GoPro? I have the GoPro HD Hero with two new batteries and wall charger.

Artin,

Let me know how you like Dominion. I was told that they are making safety improvements on it.

I was at SP Main with PCA Potomac last weekend and the S2K was fantastic. The handling was just fantastic. I was gaining ground starting at #3 all the way up to #9. It is so much fun passing 911's. I even passes a turbo, although it was a new driver to the group.

If you are going to Dominion in the near future, I have an update on the track. I was at SP Main last weekend and had lunch with a guy who joined Dominion as a member. He said the track is running member days now and there is a laundry list of improvements that the members have suggested. They are working through those now but some cubing and runoff areas are going to be changed. Apparently, they designed the track, curbing and so forth with CAD software and did not consider velocity, acceleration and all that vector stuff that Mechanical Engineer study. So, I would expect the track to improve over time. I saw someone posted a track video. The guy I met is "JABS 1542". He has a bunch of similar videos up if you want to go look at them. This is one in his 911: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUPrJMbGbkc

So it looks like the TNIA next Thursday 7/28 is postponed although it SHOULD be good for the next event in August. I was hoping to attend it but looks like I'll just have to wait..

Good thing I didn't bother to sign up, looks like I'll hopefully be there in August.

My buddy said the curbing is just completely dangerous and DO not go near it.

Good luck this weekend!

I hope to do TNIA there in August as well.

Ya.. it doesn't look very functional, a lot of it (at least for driving on like other tracks). Cool man, see you at the track again. I think we should have a good number of folks going in August.
