I'm traveling to the East Coast on a motorsports pilgrimage (you may have seen my other thread here) and would like to meet up with some GRMers at some track day events (HPDE/TT/etc). Who/what/where? Post it up! I'm going to try to get a rough schedule tonight.
I also plan to hit up Colorado and maybe Texas on the way out or back depending on the route I take.
Currently looking at the Lime Rock event with NASA next week, and the Watkins Glen event with SCDA on July 7/8 (one or both days). Anything at VIR (TrackDaze July 12?), Road Atlanta, AMP, or any tracks featured in the recent "best tracks" features in GRM would be epically awesome.

I won't be there but TrackDaze is a great group of guys and if you've never ran VIR its amazing. Full course and grand west course are the best configurations imo
NJMP July 4&5 and VIR July 13

PCA and High Plains in Denver in Mid August. See the rebirth of the LS swapped 951, now with a 383 stroker topped with Dart heads!
Bring yourself out west! Laguna Seca July 18/19/20 with speedventures! NasaNorcal runs events frequently at Sonoma raceway too.

COM is at NHMS July 5-7. Great course there and a great club to run with.
Ok it's looking like CMP next weekend, then run up to Watkins Glen July 8 (Tuesday) then VIR on July 12 (Saturday). Then ???. Need something during the following week... that will be the week I head back for SoCal. I aim to return home by July 18th.
Might replace CMP with Pueblo on July 4th.. wish I could do both, but it's too long a drive from Pueblo to CMP to make it one day. This will happen if I can find a track day in Texas earlier next week... Tuesday would be good. Any other track days in the middle of next week in the central or Southern states would be useful.

That's about a month after my trip, but that sounds awesome! I'll have to make it out to High Plains on a long weekend trip sometime!

I live in California.. I'll run into you at the track sometime :-)
In reply to series8217:
Heh, reading comprehension fail. That fiero looks pretty eye grabbing, I'll say hi if I see you out there!
Ok looking at the calendar more, I may just skip Pueblo and stick with CMP. Since CMP is at the end of the week I will have time mid-week to visit friends in Texas and Florida, and stop by GRM HQ. Maybe there's something in Atlanta at the end of the week before CMP?
I really want to run more than 3 tracks on this trip... looks like the only way to make that happen is to shove a track day in early next week in the South.
Current schedule:
June 28 to July 4: transit to East Coast + visit GRM
July 5-6: NASA @ Carolina Motorsports Park
July 6/7: 715 mile transit from CMP to Watkins Glen; stop in Durham, NC
July 8: SCDA @ Watkins Glen Intermediate group is full though
July 9-11: Visit Boston, transit to VIR (total 1062 miles)
July 12: Trackdaze @ VIRginia International Raceway
July 13-18: Transit to Los Angeles, stop in Colorado Springs (total 2700 miles)
Maybe I'll try to fit the SCCA PDX @ Atlanta in on July 13 if I skip my last track session at VIR on Sat.
and/or maybe Summit Point with Trackdaze on my way up to the Glen.
Ok I'm signed up for CMP (July 5-6), Watkins Glen (July 8) and VIR (July 12).

hunt me down (CMP) … I'll be in a '91 blk CRX TTE #55 .. with the POW/MIA shield on the hood
I can't make CMP July 5/6 with my car but I might go up just to point and laugh. Look for the gray haired grouchy old jerk.

As always I will be the one running grid at CMP with SWMBO. She's the boss and I am in charge, I think sometimes?
I'll be at VIR July 12/13.
July 19+20 at on the Summit Point Shenandoah Circuit w/ the Washington DC Region SCCA PDX program.
A really great group of people and a fun track!
Register here, now!
Gotta be back in Los Angeles by the July 18-ish, but otherwise I would love to do Summit Point!
