- let me know when you're hosting another all day event at a great price, OK? - Mr. Mom 2014-07-25 16:56:47 (230 views)
  - Ah, Monticello. Arguablly one of the best tracks days...and I had to beg you to show up! - 4Driver4 2014-07-27 06:59:56 (206 views)
    - It was fantastic. Best track day ever for me. Thanks again! - Mr. Mom 2014-07-27 09:03:58 (218 views)
      - It's actually only Lime Rock that limits us like that. 4 hours each day/3 run groups = 20 min runs.  -  4Driver4  2014-07-27 16:10:02 (196 views)
        
        I mainly avoid ACNA HPDE Events because of 2 things....  -  madgreek  2014-07-29 11:07:25 (196 views)
        
        if you have that many events, you would be in one of the upper run groups with ACNA-NJ   -  quattrocup  2015-12-31 19:00:00 (170 views)
        
        This. Its certainly a different experience and its easier (heat-wise) on the car and driver.  -  Carson the Parts Guy  2014-07-30 15:03:22 (162 views)
        
        Not sure why you are not getting signed off...?  -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 12:36:27 (204 views)
        
        it's a mystery  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-29 15:14:51 (166 views)
        
        Keep in mind that your experience is a few years old. Things change.  -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 15:30:00 (159 views)
        
        that they do  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-29 15:34:18 (168 views)
        
        Your suspicions are not correct.  -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 16:23:28 (202 views)
        
        Good to hear  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-29 17:14:04 (161 views)
        
        Agreed.  -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 18:22:37 (165 views)
        
        sorry, but neither of us have the "frames" to ever get there  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-30 08:29:21 (160 views)
        
        Not to mention the <ahem> *age* issue. (hey, you started it)   -  4Driver4  2014-07-30 09:11:41 (160 views)
        
        Paul Newman did pretty well, far older than either of us ;)  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-30 10:38:37 (181 views)
        
        miata at the Glen vs LRP is a completely different arm workout schedule...  -  ScratchRob13  2014-07-30 07:49:41 (159 views)
        
        May try the Thompson event with you guys this fall   -  madgreek  2014-07-29 13:01:10 (153 views)
        
        Awesome. Hope you can make it. Should be interesting, very few will have driven there.   -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 14:23:39 (148 views)
        
        Its not a competitive event. I can understand having additional "ballast" being unwanted  -  Carson the Parts Guy  2014-07-29 11:30:29 (187 views)
        
        and how many track days to become an instructor?  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-29 15:10:02 (155 views)
        
        Instructing has less to do with your actual driving skill and more about...  -  quattrocup  2014-07-30 13:49:39 (209 views)
        
        More to it than that. Selection by the instructor dev committee, program for a full season, etc.  -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 16:25:04 (160 views)
        
        All that many = 12  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-30 23:02:38 (144 views)
        
        For me, I started Instructor Candidacy with the NEQ and finished up with the NJ Chapter.  -  Carson the Parts Guy  2014-07-29 15:22:44 (191 views)
        
        thanks  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-29 15:30:42 (160 views)
        
        My students seem to be getting good information and experiences from me, so I suppose  -  Carson the Parts Guy  2014-07-29 15:35:47 (164 views)
        
        not directed at your students. Sorry if I was not clear  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-29 15:39:15 (178 views)
        
        I'm confident I can relate my experiences and knowledge to my students.  -  Carson the Parts Guy  2014-07-29 15:58:54 (162 views)
        
        glad to hear it  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-29 17:16:48 (157 views)

        I drive solo most of the time, but...  -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 12:47:11 (173 views)
        
        Agree with everything you mentioned. Well said.   -  madgreek  2014-07-29 13:03:06 (158 views)
        
        Exactly. You never know when another's perspective may lead to your personal breakthrough.   -  Carson the Parts Guy  2014-07-29 13:01:44 (151 views)
        
        I ran with NASA a lot in the beginning. They usually are on their game, but...  -  ScratchRob13  2014-07-29 11:52:37 (185 views)
        
        That's part of the line that the "for profit" folks face. Drivers are customers, not club members.   -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 12:25:32 (147 views)
        
        Yeah... I moved more towards racing now... Loving it.  -  ScratchRob13  2014-07-29 12:36:16 (165 views)
        
        Do you know Cy?  -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 12:40:23 (179 views)
        
        I used to  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-30 08:27:25 (148 views)
        
        Simsbury   -  ScratchRob13  2014-07-30 09:28:36 (138 views)
        
        Google up "Cy Spec Miata" and you can what a bunch of his in-car vids.   -  4Driver4  2014-07-30 10:15:07 (149 views)
        
        Yup.  -  ScratchRob13  2014-07-30 10:29:08 (162 views)
        
        He's pretty much the reason I got moved over to racing.  -  ScratchRob13  2014-07-29 16:06:20 (155 views)
        
        I should have known. He's basically right down the road from you.   -  4Driver4  2014-07-29 16:31:11 (141 views)
        
        Is it because you share the track with the local club at LRP?   -  2PUTT  2014-07-27 18:52:50 (176 views)
        
        Exactly. We used to get two full days, now we get two half days.  -  4Driver4  2014-07-27 21:08:13 (237 views)
        
        I ran an event at LRP this spring with Loosenuts where LRP driving club had the track from  -  madgreek  2014-07-29 13:08:33 (158 views)
        
        That's great. I wonder how NNJR PCA gets the track to themselves at LRP.  -  2PUTT  2014-07-28 07:05:01 (188 views)
        
        I think its because they do LRP so early in the season  -  quattrocup  2014-07-28 10:00:50 (191 views)
        
        That's possible. The annual schedule is petty well fixed. Once you have a date, you get a sort...  -  4Driver4  2014-07-28 10:31:18 (201 views)
        
        and if you get those unruffled days the rental is expensive   -  littleredwagen  2014-07-28 11:39:58 (198 views)
        
        It's an option, but it costs more (obviously)  -  4Driver4  2014-07-28 09:11:49 (179 views)
        
        You can ask while they run the next ACNA-NJ event for free.   -  HollywoodVeg  2014-07-28 08:56:30 (194 views)
        
        LoLx2  -  TheBGN  2014-07-28 19:22:48 (193 views)
        
        Wut wut!!   -  2PUTT  2014-07-31 22:46:10 (155 views)
        
        Can you please not slander our club?  -  quattrocup  2014-07-28 10:15:24 (227 views)
        
        Lots of truth in that post.  -  4Driver4  2014-07-28 11:26:51 (242 views)
        
        I apologize...  -  HollywoodVeg  2014-07-28 10:41:25 (198 views)
        
        but it's not true.  -  quattrocup  2014-07-28 10:56:28 (199 views)
        
        There are some days during the week you can get it without sharing IIRC  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-27 19:56:39 (190 views)
        
        I liked going to LRP. But I'm also boycotting that track.  -  Carson the Parts Guy  2014-07-28 11:10:25 (206 views)
        
        it is close by....  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-28 12:36:56 (193 views)
        
        20 minutes on 1 hour 40 off  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-27 17:49:28 (183 views)
  - Gosh, I spend about that every week racing. Seems totally cost effective. - Joey@FK 2014-07-25 17:55:54 (225 views)
    - You're awesome - Mr. Mom 2014-07-25 19:45:16 (219 views)
      - I dunno about that.  -  Joey@FK  2014-07-25 20:15:43 (214 views)
        
        Sure  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-26 10:15:42 (217 views)
        
        No problem. What do you weigh? Maybe you will fit.   -  Joey@FK  2014-07-26 14:37:42 (196 views)
        
        227  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-26 17:09:02 (215 views)
        
        Hmmm... Maybe. How tall? It's a tight squeeze at six one and one ninety five.   -  Joey@FK  2014-07-26 22:45:01 (191 views)
        
        Same height  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-27 09:04:51 (199 views)
        
        Ain't gonna happen.   -  Joey@FK  2014-07-27 11:49:38 (181 views)
        
        Lulz   -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-27 17:50:56 (182 views)
        
        At those speeds, with the walls and other cars so close, seat sizing is important.  -  Joey@FK  2014-07-27 19:23:44 (195 views)
        
        nope  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-27 19:52:22 (202 views)
        
        I've seen both of you. It's a no go.   -  4Driver4  2014-07-27 06:58:25 (182 views)
        
        Not sure how I fit in your miata either ;)  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-27 09:16:38 (192 views)
        
        In? More surprised that you were able to get out!   -  4Driver4  2014-07-28 11:47:38 (181 views)
        
        :)  -  Mr. Mom  2014-07-28 12:35:58 (176 views)
