Trying to get group together for this event which is being held by Speed Ventures. Typically it's $170 for 4 25 minute sessions and another $20 for timing and transponder rental but last year I put a group together and got a group discount. Let me know.

I had originally signed up for beginner, but having a couple previous track days at big willow, I was being held up way too much and asked to be moved up to intermediate.

I was on pace with most of the intermediate group, and faster than some.. But that didn't stop some of them from passing me through the omega, literally passing me on the inside, cutting my line off through turn 4.. If I didn't happen to see him through my peripheral in my mirror while I was looking through the apex, I would have turned in like normal to clip the apex and we would have had contact.

Im fine with driving like that in a race of some sort, but not an HPDE day. Dedicated passing zones were established in the morning meeting for the different groups, and nothing happened to the ones that didn't pay attention to them.. No black flags, no warnings, nothing, and there was an 'instructor' with me when it happened... I wasn't very happy about that.

I dunno.. Maybe call me over sensitive, but I just wasn't very fond of the rules being established and then disregarded by everyone, including the ones that established them.
