    I had really planned on going, but dang $1200 and we only get three races? Maybe I will do HPDE for $300 less?

    Cody - just sign up as an instructor. I'll sign up for HPDE1 and we can drive around yelling at each other...come on, it'll be fun.

    I'm leaning against it. Three races for $1200.00 plus tires and that damn garage price.......Plus last year I paid a few hundred to park the RV even though around me paid nothing.

    I'm about 99% sure I will be there.
    What is everyone's thought on the garages vs parking on our own? With so much space there, we could all pit together in the area higher up by the bridge and have as big a compound as we want.
    What do y'all think?

    I was thinking the same thing. I can attempt to grab a garage, but I'd prefer we pit together if possible.

    I'll be waiting to register due to some other possible family commitments. Even if I didn't have anything else I would probably wait. I would be interested to know the cost for Nationals before deciding as well.

    Having raced over Memorial Day I'll say the garages were great to have to be out of the sun all weekend when it was real hot. But they have doubled the price of the garage from $500 to $1000. Though they give the HPDE people the garage for $800. It's also great to be able to hang out on the trackside of the garage at night. But a group compound is always great.

    I think the deal killer for me is Sook and Martin getting DQ'd in R3 which moved me from 10th to 8th and screwed me out of $50 Toyo $$. Why did Martin get a DQ and what place did he originally finish?

    Martin was originally in 4th I believe and was also disqualified for weight.

    My bad, I would have much rather kept the win! My plan is to guarantee I won't ever be under weight again, even if the car is out of gas.

    Also, sorry for spilling gas in front of you in R4 John! I have to fix/figure that out too. I think I was spilling it on my own rear tires as well judging by how slide-y the car was.

    I can't imagine I'll be able to make it. But if I do, I like Cody's idea. HPDE 4 is cheaper and you get more track time.

    Done!!

    But seriously they are just giving a discount to instructors, and they will have a waiting list for that. I love that they are having just one National again but sheesh this is ridiculous!

    I am all for a big compound, that way I can point to it and tell people that’s where the cool kids are.
