I'm in if my car is ready by then. Chances are it's a yes but I'd like to hear back on helmet and roll bar requirements.
I don't think my helmet is SA2015 so I might have to snag a new one

I did the Track Night at Thompson last night and it was an absolute blast. I got a total of close to an hour of track time. The only downside I would say is we did have some people who took quite some time to give a point by but overall it was a great experience. TNIA novice seems to be a good first track day to get to know the car on track before attending a quicker paced hpde event. I Will more than likely be attending an hpde next so that I can get an instructor and more track time.

I was in the intermediate and noticed a few drivers reluctant to point-by (I'm looking at you, white C63 AMG) but definitely want to go back. Thompson is a bit more novice friendly than Palmer due to more run off imo.
Here's a video of my final session https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzNjZXWaLhM I know my line could use some work but it was a ton of fun

Hey Nik! Thanks for the pics! I can't believe how much different our cars are on track. I'm having to downshift at nearly every turn but the AP2 just seems to have enough low end to stay in a higher gear much more often. I'm ready to get back out there for sure.

Al Sandy told me that if SCCA is ok with the stock roll bar, we are good to go. I can try to contact SCCA to be sure...
