Here are some pics from Monticello. I love this track and there was some serious competition.

Thx Mark. I have some videos too. I am having trouble editing them. A think I need better software than Quicktime.

PS - Those Ford pick ups were all business!!!!

Very cool! I like that Viper, especially with the massive rear tires.

Videos are not that great. Never ask a kid to take videos . Lesson learned ....
Going thru the esses into the carousel. Look for me in the background

I caught the Miata in front of me. It was no ordinary Miata. 250HP!!!! The GT3 behind me ... um ... toasted me in the next corner.

This was by far the hardest track I ever did. There are some nasty switch backs and a small kink in the long straight known as the Ferrari eater. 4 Ferraris have been totaled there in two years! I gave that "kink" the respect it deserves.

The trucks were very loud. Most of the cars were louder than mine and my car is not that quiet. You can do a Hyper Drive with out a roll bar. That is following the pace car. You will hit speeds well over a 100. One session. But the only way you can run with out one is if you come with me to a charity event in WV. There are two charity events a year, April and September. Let me know if you are interested.

Awesome pics and videos Greg! It looks like sooooooo much fun!

+1 on the vids

So the only track where the "Hyper Drive" will be held is VW? No Monticello and NJMP perchance?

I would like to drive my car there and back so it might be quite the journey.

One session as a Hyper drive is available at most tracks. There is no passing but you can get over 100 easy. Monticello is closed for track days for good. It is now a members only club and it is $125K to join. (So I guess I am never going backs .... )

I drive my car to track days and back. Probably 1/2 the guys trailer them. I will keep you posted for the next one or you can check NASA/PDA's website.
