I signed up. First track day in a coon's age. Wish me luck.
I imagine Flier129 and some of you other track vagrants might be going, so sound off if you are.

Excellent. I don't really like being at track days alone anymore. Where do you guys usually park? I have parked by the bridge up above the 10B viewing area for the last several times I went and really liked it as a location. Is usually a great view of the track and you aren't crammed on top of a bunch of other rigs.

Steve! I'll be there. Arriving pretty late on Friday night, so not quite sure where I'll be paddocked. Typically I ****** a spot near the pavilion. I'm usually instructing so I like to be close to everything.
100% confident my car is going on the dyno this event as well. Yay free dyno time! Anyone wanna take bets?! My guess is 135rwhp

I believe @flier129 is being peer pressured into going to this event.
I'll be racing at Barber the next weekend so I won't be able to make the Toy Run unfortunately. Not possible to swing two events in two weekends, especially when one is ~15 hours of racing!

Only if you promise to spam me with #dickpics
I've literally got a bunch of noobs coming with me so I'll put them right in the middle of the paddock to make it easier for them. I'll definitely track you down before the weekend is over. We should be arriving mid-day Friday to hit reg/tech early.

I have to work all day Friday, so I won't be getting to the track until late Friday night. It'd be cool if Allen could save me a spot for truck+trailer :-D.
In regards to Chin vs NASA I couldn't say since I've never done Chin. But NASA does free food and free beer! It's also a great platform to progress to TT or w2w(licenses) if you want out wanted to go that route.

I've always loved how Southeast region abuses the instructors by combining 3 + 4. Another part of the reason I'm tiring of instructing is that they often put de1 and 4 back to back with each other so the instructors lose track time if they are in level 4. I haven't looked at the schedule yet for this weekend but I assume they did it again at some point. When Jon Felton ran the Florida region he was very careful not to abuse his instructors in that way.
I'm just venting. Frustrated that I don't have the stamina to instruct and drive right now. I enjoyed certain aspects of instructing. It's nice to help people and see them improve.
