Bishop · 05-02-2008, 10:18 AM

and i have heard HPDE all over the place but never looked it up, whats it mean?

Bishop · 05-02-2008, 10:21 AM

ah, ok HPDE makes sense now lol

Bishop · 05-02-2008, 10:22 AM

jesus 200-400 is ALOT, but i can see how they can justify charging it.... i like the appeal of slower more technical movements and a $20-25 price tag... but i think if there was a track day or event that was closer i would probably scrape together the funds to get out there and just see what i was missing

Bishop · 05-02-2008, 10:25 AM

i'll be back later probably

sorry i couldnt try my hand at whoring more atm.... took today off work, gonna go get a bite to eat w/ girly friend though

I pay ~150 for a day at Waterford Hills. The price changes per the track.

ah of course

**boondocksaint** · 05-02-2008, 10:37 AM

Just make sure you can afford the tire/brake wear. I'm probably going to need a new set of tires afte rthe June trackday, and new brake pads by the end of summer. I track my stock pads because Waterford Hills is an easy track on brakes.

Missed the first one. Glad I didn't buy the package. I hope to make the next one.

You going to come some day boon? We'll see if power can make up for the meat you run.

I'd like to. I'm not comfortable on a high speed course on stock brake equipment, though. Towards the end of summer when I have lines, pads, KBK, and maybe a little government money, we shall see.

And I think power + driving skill will pwn wider tires + driving fail.

Full Course Authbahn CC and you didn't have any pad fade? What are the runoffs like at the ends of the longer straights?

I can't even imagine what that was like. I manage to cook Pagid Blues at the track pretty good. I brake HARD and late though.

I'm easy on the brakes, but then I drive 7/10 at the track. I don't own it yet.
