Well guys I originally had a 3 day beginner HPDE ticket, due to financial reasons I got rid of my ticket.My situation since then has changed, so I came across a HPDE intermediate ticket for Friday without thinking I picked it up.

This will be my first time tracking the S I do feel confident however I don't want to piss off other drivers or instructors, what should I do? Resell the ticket in hopes of finding a beginner weekend or single session, or hold on to it and attempt to track?

 

If its your first time tracking, I would suggest that you do not attempt to run in the intermediate group. I don't think it'd be a matter of pissing anyone off, but of safety for yourself and for others.

"The intermediate group is for drivers that have done 5 or more track days and have expert knowledge and application of the basics of on track driving. Intermediate is the perfect group to begin to improve your on track skills and learn about driving at speed on track. Instructors are available for all intermediate drivers."

Perhaps speak to the organizers, let them know about your situation, and see if they will let you run in the beginner group despite having an Intermediate ticket. They've got the money for that ticket anyhow, it may not be a huge deal to allow one more person into the Beginner class. Whatever you do, be safe and have fun. I had hopes of making it out there myself but could not, and regret it already.

 

I did speak to Luke Wilcox and he said that the ticket was sold as an intermediate so it should stay an intermediate

Kind of disappointing got my hopes up for a chance to get back on the track, but probably best I don't risk the safety of myself or anyone else

 

Ticket sold thread closed crossing my fingers for a beginner ticket

 

Sorry to hear that, but props to you for asking the right questions and making a good decision.
