Hopefully there will be 17 soon. I just need to get my car all squared away.

Any instructors care to hop in with me for a run group?
I know it's not the typical format, but I'm always looking for something to improve on - especially with the GT Academy finals looming.

I'll be driving the 325i for the day - the car features a leather heated passenger (instructor) seat with electronic controls...just to make it more appealing.

Great, Mick - thanks for the offer. I'll swing by in the morning.

The extended forecast shows some rain...which will be AWESOME!

Oh no, I sure hope it doesn't rain---- I will have to take a different car if it rains :!: one I haven't even touched in 7 months. Looks like a busy weekend.

Can they offer a run "by the hour?" I only need a quick shakedown before going to Mosport ... don't need the whole day there.

No problem. It's $195 per hour.
Oh, and we're running a special this month where when you buy 1 hour you get 6 free! :sunny:

Since I just got the car done I had to request a late entry. What are the odds I will be able to register for this event?

Incorrect, sir! Take note: if you want to get into a COM event this year, especially one at NHMS, REGISTER AND PAY EARLY!

We've unfortunately had to turn some away. Getting in depends on the car and to some extent the driver at this point. Best chance to get in now is if someone with a similar car cancels. If you want to get in, as usual, the best thing to do is to contact Mark Swinehart directly. He's our registrar, and his contact info is on our website.

I say "unfortunate" because we don't like to turn people away, but there is plenty of good news for those that registered early. The weather is looking great as are run groups and track time for attendees. Everyone is on the clock for 6 sessions, scheduled for 2:30 of track time. We'll be flexible and will maximize track time as much as possible without crowding the track.

Large collection of American Iron, Import power, and import under-power. ;)

Tried to keep run groups as small as possible, though some are larger than I wanted. N

4 categories:
0 Instructors
1 Open Wheel
2 Big Power
3 Modest power

Categories 0 and 1 (instructors and open wheel cars) are running together, so effectively, there 3 run groups:

Run Group 0 + 1
Run Group 2
Run Group 3
