Re: So I had my first on-track session with the Cougar yesterday

Jim, running HPDE1 is around $180, HPDE2 and up is around $160 per day. They usually run 2 days on a weekend, and they give a discount if you run both days.

EDIT: Haha, I just realized this thread is basically going on a "tour of NECO" lol.

That just sounds like mad fun. Not every day a cougar catches godzilla.

Re: So I had my first on-track session with the Cougar yesterday

Right now I have August 16th penciled in for my HPDE debut, depending on how things go between now and then. I'd like to run this event because its on the same track I drove Saturday night, and its a track I feel very comfortable with.

Re: So I had my first on-track session with the Cougar yesterday

Nice story, I've run at track days, where we had 4 30 minute sessions and thats a ton of driving... As for the Mustang Story, I can relate, Had a Cobra in my session that just poked through the technical session and when it came to the straights he was long gone, finally after about 4 laps of me on his tail every technical session he gave in and let me have the straights(although it probably killed him to go so slow on the straight) but then I never saw him again...
