Yea, I would barely be in performance tuning if I were to run the Time-Attack. A couple more points, and I would be in Super. LOL

But it looks like I will only be able to do HPDE. Probably for the better.

Go to the Mid Ohio web site, midohio.com, for their discounted hotels.

There are quite a few motels at the I71 exit at Lexington. And many more in the Mansfield area.
There is camping, a separate camp site on the track land, but there is a fee.

Since I'm 1:15 from the track entrance I don't have that concern.

My regrets in not being able to attend. I do hope that there is a great turnout.

And for those who are on the fence or not sure if the event is for you, just show up to it and watch, and just chill out with other owners. Participation is also in the form of just showing up and supporting the event. Without your support, we can't complain in the future if such events aren't offered anymore!

You will need to be qualified to run HPDE 4/TT. We'll have are own Time Attack rules.

We're looking at maybe adding HPDE 3 drivers for Sunday only, but I do not know for sure.

Info/correction requested: The way I am reading this is that if you have not run in NASA's HPDE 3 or 4 you will not be permitted on the track. Is this correct?
