Default Northeast Rs - NASA event - Pocono August 30-31

Anyone going? Im thinking about registering and it would be nice if some of the other Tyte Rs were around. It will be my first event(if I do register) and would be nice to get some pointers from fellow R drivers.

If my car is ready I will go. I will be in the advanced group. I should have a passenger seat and if they allow it, I can give you a ride.

david, that sounds cool. I still have yet to meet up with most of you R speed guys. I gotta hit up one of your meets one of these days.

Pete, not sure what other info I can provide. Its an HPDE hosted by NASA, not sure of cost, but it appears registration is still open. You can find out more at http://www.nasanortheast.org/register.htm

FYI, there is also another event at Pocono on August 9-10 hosted by PDA http://www.pdadrivingschool.com that is $230 on saturday and $250 on sunday. I think registration for that is still open too.

*update*

From what I was told today by the people running the event ( NASA and http://www.entropyracing.com ), this HPDE is going to be $175 for one day of the event, and $325 for both days. There will be 4 twenty minute sessions minimum, probably close to 1.5 to 2 hours of track time, with 2 class sessions.

Go here for complete info and registration(blue link at the top of the page)
http://www.entropyracing.net/asp/home.asp

Its gonna be my first event so hope to see some of you guys there

Not so sure about this Pocono event but......I know for sure that there will be 14 ITR going to the Nasa-NE Watkins Glen HPDE on Sept 22-23.
I hope you can make it to that one too......

I am registered in advanced. See you there.

But, if you want to have tons of fun.... The Glen. Like Oscar wrote, there are about 14 of us rolling up there. I think just being on a track with so much history is worth the trip.

Id definitely like to hit up the Glen. Is Pocono not a very fun track? or is it a hard track to learn on compared to the Glen? maybe I should just save my money and go to the Glen instead?

Pocono is ok. I have only done the long course...which can be boring....very long straights where the higher HP cars pass you, then you get stuck behind them in the short infield. The last time I went (in 2001), the infield's ashpalt wasn't the best and it rained, so the event was mostly cancelled (high banks + rain = damage). I am going this time, mainly to try out my car. But, any track day is a fun day!
