About 11.5 minutes of eye-candy video involving Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM-spec cars on the Nürburgring racing circuitAll things considered, I would rather be free and driving a honda fit than in jail...

Well, getting ready to head up to Winchester. I got in last minute...I think I am the only one that posts here who is doing this NASA event this weekend. Maybe I will get to see you guys that are doing the go-karts tomorrow.
Does anybody know a Michelle Hylton (running HPDE2), Kyle O'Connell (HPDE 3), Brian Maeng (Instructor), or John Oldt (Honda Challenge)? These are the only others on the list running an S2000 but I don't recognize any of the names.

Michelle Hylton is one of the hard core HPDER's in Mid-A. She drives a red S2000 her husband drives a Z06 that he bought on track same day he crashed his corvette. John Oldt is one of the legendary S2000 driver. The other two I'm not sure who they are.
Good luck out there and have fun safely.
Don't forget to get data for your new brake cooling ducts. No pressure but a lot of us AP2 owners are kind of a waiting on that data.

Pete, Skip & I have all instructed Michelle and she is great. If you are in DE2, she will be one of the fastest & experienced in the group. She is quick these days. John is a great source of S2K track knowledge and is as friendly & helpful as they come. I probably know the others, but would need to see their faces as my memory isn't what it used to be.

Good day out! A little cold but all my sessions were dry. I had Brian (S2000 guy) as my instructor and he is a super nice guy. I also do remember Michelle now, she is also super friendly. I talked with her for a few minutes.
I lost track of the offs today. The ones I recall was a blue Shelby newer mustang in Group 3 app got pretty busted up. I was in the hpde3 classroom and the instructors were pretty pissed bc at least 7 failed to notice the red flag. A Ford Focus went into a tire wall and came out bumperless. A Porsche GT3 lost it in Group 2 but luckily only got covered in dirt. There was a guy in our group that lost it on Turn 1->2 and ended up on the inside tire wall.
The brake ducts worked great! Not a hint of fade. Oh yeah, that's just because I'm SLOW
