East track Saturday west Sunday so people can get them both in to prepare for the full track.
Yep. One of our local guys bought it last year, at the Miller club race when we were there. Cervelli set it up for him. It's a very strong car. Regarding this years PCA club race in Septermber, do you know if they will also run on Friday to make it a 3 day event? We're probably gonna have 6 or 7 guys coming. Are you gonna run this year?

Yes 16th, 17th and the 18th. I'll run a couple of days In the DE, no place for my car for TT and racing.

I think if you have a valid race license or race experience they can waive that requirement. A few of us including myself ran it last year without any prior time at Miller and they waived it. I think it can be done on a case by case basis unless I'm wrong. They want your money after all..

Just out of curiosity: you are not running the IC duct scoops?

I have not had a chance to install them yet and I wanted to get some good data without them. I'll be at the track next Thursday doing some testing and plan to run a few sessions with and without the ducts to get a good apples to apples comparison.

For sure, I guess I was talking about new drivers with still riding with instructors. If anyone is interested in coming for the 3 day event and has trouble signing up let me know I and can get you helped out. John I would love to hop in your right seat at some point for a couple of laps during the weekend, so I feel feel that beast rip!

Thanks for sharing, looks fun.

What track is that?

I roadraced motorcycles at several tracks in Co. in the '80's and '90's. Second Creek, Woody Creek at Aspen and Steamboat Springs through the streets. I also raced in other tracks around the west and in Canada. A decade of this, living in motorhomes on weekends, lots of broken bones and trying to run a business on week days got racing out of my system. I frankly don't miss the stress.

Don't let racing consume your life and you can enjoy for a long time;-)

High Plains Raceway (HPR). 60 miles east of Denver. 2.55 mile, 15 turns, lots of elevation changes. It's a very fun technical track. PCA runs a 3 day event there each month April - October.

I cant wait to track mine one day but I am just going through the basics right now with my IS300 since its a little more forgiving (and cheaper) of a car. Im focusing on suspension stuff for the turbo right now and then will probably get a set of IC's since I live in AZ and its basically the surface of the sun even during winter months.
I have a good bit of experience with AutoX but only have done a couple HPDEs in the past. One of my instructors even said "You do autox dont you?" when he rode with me during the second session.

Sorry for the grainy pics... not sure what was up with my phone.
