Ah, found this thread again.

Are you all competing in the actual time attack? Anyone doing the HPDE? I have been on the Main and Jefferson circuits at Summit. But I am still a little nervous getting on Shenandoah since I have never driven it, and I have heard how technical it is.

Also, how is the attitude of everyone out on the track. So far in my HPDE's everyone is very courteous out there with point-by's, and they keep things very safe, etc. Are point-by's required during the practices and timed events? Are we out on the track with people in our class? Sorry for all the questions guys, but I'm new to the R.T.A. format.

Saturday the 16th is run just like an HPDE with a seperate class in the morning for any who want to attend. Sessions are seperated by skill level, novice, intermediate, and advanced. Point byes ARE REQUIRED and passing is only done on the 2 straits in novice and intermediate from what I know. Time attack day itself (17th) the practice sessions are seperated according to class (street, modified, unlimited). But in the time attack sessions themselves you never see another car.

You should seriously consider racing my friend, the more Scions the better. this is my 3rd year in a row for running in this event and it ROCKS every event I have attendend in racing.

Ok, I was gonna say...I didn't sign up for anything . I should be there though, most likely on Sunday.

So go ahead and throw another Jon on the list. I'm actually looking up hotels in the area, I think I'm gonna drive down Sat morning, stay over night and watch both days. I'm kinda realizing driving 5 hours down then having to drive 5 hours back isn't sounding like I'll have a lot of time to do much lol.

Ride along is a possibility, either in my xA or the Ptuning tC perhaps, but it depends on time.

WOOOOO!!!

After 5 days of ordering helmets and finding out they were out of stock, I decided to head down to a Ford/Suzuki dealer where I bought my Z400 from. They said they moved all the ATV/Motorcycle stuff up the highway, so I go and I found an assortment of $3-600. Then I found the lone HJC CL-15 in large just sitting there. I almost shat myself. :D It's the cheapest DOT-218/Snell M2005 approved helmet I could get my hands on, lol.
