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.

Have you made any brake upgrades?

Yeah I have taken care of the brakes (XP8's and Motul RBF600) and the oil cooler. I guess I should buy a gas container then. How big of a container will I need?

What time does the event usually end? Trying to figure out how much water/snacks to bring with me. Anything else I should bring with me?

Appreciate the advice guys

After 2 good sessions, it's wise to top up usually. In the rain, I can go an entire day lol

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.

I suggest bringing a 5 gallon gas container that you fill on your way to the track to save money. The pumps at the track will only accept your credit card one or two times (auto fraud protection).However, just let your instructor know about the possibility of fuel starvation. If it happens it is not the end of the world.

My general rule is to never let myself feel thirsty or hungry. I drink Gatorade and eat constantly at a track day. Contrary to what my wife says, a track day is not the time to worry about your diet.

Otherwise, it sounds like your car is perfectly setup. I will see you there. Have a blast!

I can't just abandon my diet like that

I don't really eat that much, but I gotta make sure to bring plenty of water as I do get very thirsty. Do they provide lunch or do we just get it ourselves? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I'm 100% prepared.

Shush you! Do you not know how MAZOC threads work by now?

Besides it's valuable info for everyone here. If I can be done at 4 PM, then I might just go to dinner with you guys. Depends how tired I am by then.
