That would be awesome Mike! I'd like to do a 2 day event at WGI in the spring and 1 or 2 dates at NHMS.

Have to wait for the SCDA calendar.

You can count on me for all LRP events. Anything outside of that will be on a time and funds availability schedule.

Today I was jonesing for some track time. Watched this vid from last summer at Mt T. Greg G and I were there and pretty equal on overall lap pace this day. We were fast in different places though. I was envious of his 4.44 gearing getting out of the corners, a couple of times it baited me in to overcooking my entry int the slower corners trying to keep the pace. I suspect he was wishing for the taller stock gearing in the fast sections though!
Greg's videos are always entertaining, I love the way he talks/comments throughout! Had some coaching/instruction that refined/improved my line/consistency throughout the weekend. Unfortunately Greg had a mechanical at the end of this the first day and had to go home. There is one more vid from another session I can post a link to if you are interested.
Caution about 20 minutes so watch when you have time. Lets all get out next season!

Aashish, I think only open for race and time trials, not HPDE.

Looks like all the linked events are open to sign up for. Perhaps LRP not a definite place on the schedule yet?

That looks like a pretty nice track. No one on it either. You guys had a perfect day! About 8 hours from Connecticut, 6 hours from Albany, but only 4 hours from Camp 6 in Elizabethtown. Makes it do-able.

This morning, I came across the Victory Lane article about last year's Gold Cup. They had me running a 2:51.6 lap in the final race. Although I finished "First in Class", I was runnng almost dead last - and I certainly didn't think I was going that fast.

Are aftermarket hardtops allowed with the groups you guys usually run with it? The prices on OEMs one are getting crazy, and I don't want to use the one on my regular S. I'm still trying to locate a good deal on an OEM one but if not I will most likely be getting a replica one if they are allowed. Soft top is gutted and I will be installing a Harddog bar.
