It's that time, June 7th at the Ridge Motorsports Park with NASA. Anyone going to be there?

I will be there both days. :tup:

Great, I can only be there on the 7th. I have an autocross event in Bremerton on the 8th and since I compete the whole year there I can't miss. What group are you signed up for with NASA?

I will be running HPDE 3 that weekend. You?

Same, HPDE 3. Looking forward to it, hope the weather works out. See you there

I'll be ordering my oil cooler, brake lines, pads and tires next week then I should be out to play at the ridge whenever I get back from traveling. who has the cheapest events for beginners?

NASA is a good place to start, $199 for one day with an instructor. HPDE 1

NASA NorthWest | We Drive Harder

NASA is where I got my start with the car. They have a really good setup going and in the past, I've seen the instructors take their students out in their own cars as well. :tup:

JD, great meeting you today and good luck tomorrow. I had a new personal best time of 2:04 today, I also sent you a PM on the brake pads

Great to meet you as well, Sunday went a good bit faster for me but the brakes were still I big issue. I still managed to get down around the 2:05 and 2:06 range. Looking forward to another shot with some brakes I don't set nearly on fire, lol. :tup:

Pictures from Saturday have been posted on Head On Photo's
