I'll be at the NTD PMP event instructing in April

Others here so far:
May 13-14 LRP with Aud club
June 13-14 at PMP with Audi
July 18-19 at Watkims Glen with Audi

If Club Motoraports up in Tamworth NH opens up I want to get there too. And hopefully this season will let me get to VIR in Novemeber finally!

I cannot believe that NTD and TNiA both have their first events on that same day, NTD at Palmer and TNiA at Thompson. Now I have to choose . . . I'm leaning toward Track Night at Thompson because it's April and the chance for bad weather is high, and Thompson is closer to home and cheaper in case it gets rained out.

But I'd really like to spend another day at Palmer, ASAP!

I don't see the other NTD events in your list; are you only doing that first one?

Not sure what other events yet or even if I'll be able to pull off the above list this year. Lots of variables in life at the moment. But hopefully I'll get to at least one other NTD event. I'm not doing Thompson this year. It beat up my car last season

I am going to a GT350 event at Pocono though in May as well

Please tell me more about Thompson; is there something I should watch out for there?

And also wondering if a "GT350 event" involves driving a GT350?

Thompson - it's hard on brakes and tires mainly. I chewed up a set of tires there in 80 miles. And other friends have had the same issue on slicks. I also overheat brakes there and chew thru pads. But I push the car hard all the time. If I backed off a little it'd be better

Yes the GT350 event is we will be testing out GT350's at the track. I believe they have Gt350's and GT350 R's... I'll take some video and photos for sure!! Won't be a full track day but I'll get a bunch of laps at speed in to test out the cars!

d, that sounds awesome, how did you score that?

I have 2 events coming up in next few months.

May 7th will be my new suspension shakedown/initial tune day at Waterford Hills. Tight slow track, but you can build a lot of lateral acceleration at fairly low speeds.

And then June 6th will be Mid Ohio. So looking forward to that. It's been 10 years since I've been there last with Acura high performance school. Can't wait to see what the Mustang can do on that track.
