Feeler: HPR Meet 27th of May.

[Colombia28]

Alright so after some thought, i'm going to do the afternoon session. I will still be there pretty early, prob around 10.

I am leaving for the track at 6AM, should be there (according to the GPS) by 7:00. Will likely do the AM session and might hang around for the afternoon session depending on what else I have going on.

I'll probably be coming with Don. What's the cost? (I won't be bringing my own car, only driving someone else's if they let me.)

If you're driving any car you have to pay the whole shebang. Half or full depending on what you're doing.

And how much is the whole shebang? Or half?

whole deal is $150 and a half is $90. HPRs website has the details.

:lol: whole deal is $150 and a half is $90. HPRs website has the details.

It's looking like I'm going to sit this one out. I'm having a hard time reconciling spending a whole day there, driving more than an hour each way ($), and spending $90 for few laps in a car other than my own.

Rest assured that when my car is up again, I'll be over days like this.

Great day at the track! Was really fun as always!

Also great to meet Don and the guys! JD was a heck of a driver!

It was a ton of fun. Unfortunately I developed (or made a small one big) a leak in the rear end after the first season and decided to sit the rest out. I was able to ride around in a turbo R32 that was sick and the driver knew how to drive it. I wish I could have got my GoPro to work that season because it was unbelievable. We lapped a supercharged CTS-V and hung with a Z06 for half the season.

In my car I was able to hit about 120 MPH on the backstretch and felt like I got fast and faster every lap. I am not going to lie, it was intense & was nervous going in to it but after experiencing it first hand I will defiantly be back.

My Go Pro video is like 30 minutes long, so if I find some time to shrink it down I will post it up.


It was great to meet all the people out there and part of the reason I appreciate this forum.

Great day. Good to see some old faces and meet new ones. I feel like doing some more HPD and learning about passing and other nuances before I do an open lapping day again. But on the other hand, I liked that it was more casual (no inspection) and a bit more competitive of an atmosphere. Pass me if you can adds a whole new element. I was much closer to other cars than I had been during the NASA event. Which is freaky and exhilarating.

Was really cool to watch mad supercars and racecars do their thing. At one point I was chasing the Murcielago and it felt like real life Top Gear.

It's crazy how the World just kind of switches off when you drive fast on a race track. Everything is wiped away except for the task at hand.

Very thankful that I didn't jack anything up (fingers crossed) when I went off track. Here's a few tubes that Ian took from the badass R32. Watch them on youtube in HD. These little boxes are silly.
