I should be there Friday evening sometime before dark. I am returning from the Blue Ridge Parkway Friday morning, and I have got a lot to do to the car before I get to Kershaw.

I won't be going down until early Saturday morning if you want to drive down together. I'm talking EARLY though. I'm leaving Pineville around 5AM. Otherwise I'll see you down there!
I know of 4 of us who will be there Sat and Sun:
Dano in a red Miata
TA2 in a gold Mustang
Waldo in a silver RX-8
Me in a grey RX-8
Kind of a light turnout for us.

Glad you're planning on coming down!

OnRails - You know if you don't want to get up that early, you can crash at the hotel Fri night. Show up whenever.
TA2 - when are you planning on driving up?
I should be at the track before 5 to catch some of the Enduro, tech, and register.
Waldo, Katc - I will be in a 97 red miata with some random white stickers on it.
PM if you want my cell. Not sure what paddock space will be like, but be nice if we can all group together.

Ya I think since we're only going to check things out and won't be running our cars, we'll probably head down sometime post-5am. But thanks for the offer, I'll be taking you up one that next time I'm sure.

Hey Guys.
ROAR will be there in full force, with 3 cars.
#63 and #61, which are in the body shop right now after the Koni Challenge race at Mid-Ohio. #61 is definitely doing the Enduro on Friday with drivers John Mossey and Jose Escobar. #63 may be doing the enduro as well with father/son team Alfredo and Andrew Carbonell (one of our Koni drivers). For the weekend, John and Jose will split up and race in PTB in the #61 and #63 cars.
Also, the #60 car will have two drivers in DE sessions, with Michelle Slater in DE1 and the Stacie Haynes in DE2.
Hope to see everyone there!

I am soooo jealous right now. This is my favorite track and REALLY would love to be there.
To the entire ROAR team... You guys are always a blast to hang with.
Waldo and KAtC10, welcome to the group. Hope we can get you down to Road Atlanta and Roebling Road too.

The site let me in so I hope it's cool. It's a light turn-out but I think TTC is going to be intersting with Everette, Gary, John, and yours truly.
Anybody needs a roomie?

I don't mind a quick boomer to cool things off when it the middle of summer. And while I didn't love driving in it, I did learn a lot and would do it again. Just hopefully they are brief.
I have been snakebit this year about getting (dry)laps in.
RA- 4.5 sessions. 1.5 wet
CMP - 4 wet sessions, 3 dry
RR - 2 sessions with seat-time and down with mechanical
BMP- 0 sessions - new convertible rules
Anywho - Ya'll wanna paddock back in the HPDE overflow area on the map again? Always plenty of room to spread out, and it is close to bathroom, snackbar, and good viewing area for T1-3.

I think the paddock spot we had last time was pretty good like you said. I'd vote for that again.

It's all jiggy for me, got the confirmation email from Julie yesterday.
Rain is fine for me too, this time I have tires that will actually offer traction in the wet stuff and I had pretty good practice last time we were at CMP with my zero wet traction tires...
The paddock suggestion works for me too. I liked that spot a lot

I will probably park in SU with the group I hung out with last time, but I definitely will meander over to HPDE. I am most likely going to cheap out and sleep in a trailer.
I dont think my 8 will be doing double duty like last time, so I should have more free time. I couldnt find myself not paying attention to the track when my car was racin' and I wasnt.
