Which direction will they be running on the 29th? Not that it really matters as I LOVE either direction. But..I do set up my car differently depending on CW or CCW. :wink:

Mark, it is scheduled to be a Remlap day (clockwise) but what difference does it make. You've driven it both ways in just this past week alone.

Yea I know...BUT I do set up my car differently for each direction. It may be the same track but to get the best Treadwear and grip, I set the car up differently. It really has made a difference in how many quality laps I can get out of a set of tyres. :wink:

I deleted the other thread on this same topic. I set up my delete button so that works both clockwise and counter-clockwise.

I'd say the chances are very good that I'll be there.

Any idea what "Experienced" drivers means? I've got ~14 track days under my belt (2 at Palmer), but am not a licensed COM driver. Would I be allowed to run?

From the Palmer site it looks like 29th track day is cancelled? Or did it just fill up?

I am pretty sure its cancelled as SCDA cancelled their June 8th even there and PCA cancelled their 12-14th race event.

the new date for SCDA at palmer is June 22 the event looks like it's a go so far.
I will be instructing with lead shadow. this will be all new to me as having up to 3 students behind me will be a little different.
I will be taking the MX5 cup car and the stock 2015 STI I'm thinking the STI will be a better car to use for this type of instructing?
but it depends on what cars we will be matched up with. either way I can't wait for this season to get started.
