Okay, see you Sunday. I'm pretty proud of myself for remembering to pack the rotors in my trunk for this weekend.

i'm pretty proud of you for already being packed!! i'll be at the karting race (off of the lightning paddock) for the morning and early afternoon on sunday, then i'll be over at t-bolt in the mid-late afternoon, so i'll come find you then.

David, I forgot to tell you I got the answer to this. This guy is former NBA. He left NBA and went to a European league.

Anyway, great meeting you today! You should come back for the TrackDaze event at Lightning June 23-24.

Gary, it was great to meet you as well. I might join you on june 24. Its sunday right? As i told you, i have not been at lightning track yet, so i think we will run together in the intermidiate group.
Yeah, as i said before, active NBA players are not allowed to race or even HPDE.

I hope you'll make it. So far, I prefer Lightning over Thunderbolt. Turns 1 and 5 are really cool, and the lightbulb is banked so you can fly.

Just a couple of questions / observations here. Were there different run groups, separated by driving abilities with the lower abilities requiring an in car instructor? What scares me a little is the "car off every session" and the "Non-medical" or "non-tech" form situation.

I instruct for A LOT of clubs and do roughly 60 days a year, and frankly this type of track event scares me. I would be interested to hear the opinions of other students and other instructors from this event if there were any?

I've done a few more events with TT4C. There were not a lot of offs or spins or really any problems. The problems in my first event with TT4C were caused mainly by two things: (1) the flaggers knew motorcycle rules instead of car rules and sucked for that reason and (2) there was a huge PCA contingent, and a few of the younger guys were driving like fools. In subsequent events, the flaggers did much better and there were only one or two fools instead of five or six. There is only one run group, but there were a lot fewer cars on the track than at a NASA event for example, so it didn't cause problems.
