I am letting a friend drive my car in the NASA Hyper Drive. This will be his first time on track so I expect he will be very slow.

And say a prayer that he keeps everything on track…

And the one not covered in stickers will be me

How long are the HPDE events typically for each day? I know we have to be there by 7:30 AM. Not looking forward to that drive in the morning.....

I've been on a hyperdrive on the Jefferson circuit before, but this will be my first HPDE and first time on the Main Circuit.

Leave by about 5:30, would be my recommendation...

You'll likely go straight to a classroom session after the morning drivers meeting, and then hit the track for the first time around 10, with 4x 25 minute sessions. That's my guess for your "timeframe."

Bring a portable air pump and a tire gauge.

You will have a mandatory meeting at 7:30 a.m. so plan to arrive earlier than that. You will actually have three 25 minute sessions on Saturday and Sunday.

Don’t worry about bringing an air pump as air is free and available directly opposite the gas pumps.

You will need to top off your gas before each session to avoid fuel starvation out of turn 1. And when I say top off I mean top off. I use a large funnel and a gas container and fill until gas overflows the fuel neck.

Trust me, even novice drivers get fuel starvation in 370's and it is frustrating. It also can spook your instructor. You are welcome to borrow my funnel (on Saturday at least). I usually park next to my buddy right across from the gas pumps.

I won't be driving at this event so feel free to find me in the paddock if you have any questions.

Ah, yes, you have an air pump on Main. I believe Shenandoah doesnt have one...

I regularly got fuel starvation my first weekend when I was anywhere around half-tank on a long right.

If everything goes incident free you should be out of there by 4:00 p.m.

Have you made any brake upgrades?
