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?

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.

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.

OK, if any of you are really serious about a track day read the information below from NASA, this is a good deal for a chance to take your car on the track


We are offering a new INTRODUCTORY session on Saturday July 19th known as HYPERDRIVE! Hyperdrive is a great way for new drivers to get on track and test the waters for minimal cost! The Hyperdrive event will include a ground school, one session of track orientation and etiquette, and one FULL HPDE 1 session. NASA membership is NOT required to participate in HYPERDRIVE and the cost is only $99. Anyone over the age of 18 with a valid drivers license may participate.

Thought I would share this weekends auto-x events. Saturday was the annual SSSCC event in Ellensburg where I placed 4th out of 15 and then Bremerton on Sunday and had another 1st place.
