No HPDE at all at Hallett if I remember.

I know Gary is correct about the full gear.Quote:

Your best bet is to skip Hallet (unless you hitch a ride up there to hang out) get with Proctor and Mosty and work on moving up the HPDE ladder ASAP. There is a nice NASA HPDE/TT event coming up this weekend in Houston down at GSS, and as mentioned, another HPDE/TT event up in Austin on 6/30 before NASA breaks for the summer. These two events are non-race, HPDE/TT only events, which should translate to less cars on track and an easier environment to deal with learn. Probably a good idea to get started here then work on getting comfortable with the car at other events before we pick back up in October; that's my plan.
Pranav is correct... this will speed up your curve to going racing by hitting these two events.Quote:

Pro tip.. Attend these two events, don't hit anything until after you get your license ;-p Don't listen to Proctor and Al.
Very good point... if you plan to race soon... DO NOT HIT ANYTHING, until after you have that license in hand. :DQuote:
