NASA-SE Winter Meltdown @ CMP Feb 9-10 2008
Registration here
HPDE cost is $289. CMP has some pretty exciting features and has been slightly reconfigured to make it a bit faster and easier on brakes.
Post up if you are going to be there and what group you are signed up for.

, will be making me re-debut, probably instructor, but I may sign up for HPDE2, just so I can get an instructor, and hopefully get better. So, you coming to this one? You need a roomy?

I've signed up and I'll be there for sure. It will be interesting to see how the new changes affect flow of the track. Since this is a track where I am already very comfortable, I'm going to try HPDE 3 and see if I survive.

STF - if you sign up to instruct, you will be on a waiting list. All the HPDE and TT classes are open though.

I've got some static bumper guards that I'd like to have evaluated for the track. Anyone care to be a guinea pig?
I just sold the street RX-7 today so I may come to this. I've been in the market for something to tow the race car, so now I have room for it.

Although I think that comment was in jest - from what I heard, you need an instructor like I need a..... whatever, something I don't need.
Can't believe I might be missing this.
Nothing is written in stone.

This time next week we'll be on the way to tech inspection. Here is the preliminary weather forecast from the official NASA weather and trophy girl...
"Greetings!
General Lee's forecast will be right on in the southeast tomorrow for ground hog's day. Enjoy the beautiful spring-like warm weather next week all across the southeast! The nice warm weather will last up until the weekend when we go racing, then we get a nice blast of refreshing artic cold air straight out of Canada. As always, my eyes are watching the models. I will keep you posted on the forecast starting this weekend at http://www.event-weather.com
Looking forward to seeing everybody at the track next weekend for the annual artic freeze at CMP.
Sincerely,
Melinda "

I've talked my brother-in-law into coming with me as support. He should be able to get some good pictures and or video. He won't be driving though. The wife won't let him get another car until he sells his motorcycle. 
Any chance someone can give him a thrill ride on Saturday?

I may be able to stop by for a visit. I'll be in Charlotte for the weekend to visit family. On my way back on Sunday, I'll try to spend about an hour at the track if all goes well. Hopefully, I'll see you all there.

I got the brakes on this weekend and the midpipe installed. I didn't get a chance to hear the car with the midpipe until this morning on my way to work. It is LOUD with the Mazdaspeed exhaust! I had to coast into the parking lot at work. I hope I don't go over the decibel limits at CMP.
