It was pretty common before the 555RII and nt-01's came out when there was really nothing affordable in that size.

I didn't realize they don't have a one day option for HPDE 1, sorry about that. I understand the logic but it really forces people to budget big for their earlier events.

The One Day option is called HYPERDRIVE - but its not really the same.

HYPERDRIVE is a cheap, quick alternative to HPDE1 - it's only $75, but you only get 1 session with an instructor.

I'm pretty sure HPDE1 is a 2-day event @ Sebring...Hyperdrive is good cost alternative...HPDE1 is around $450, plus all the added costs.

I'm trying to get my stuff together for the Event in Sebring next month...don't know if that's gonna happen.

PBOC is doing one in the middle of July but it's going to be hot as hell then. I'm already worried about my car with no oil cooler.

Didn't know about PBOC...do you have a link to the event?

I feel you on the heat...summer time is rough, especially in black.

Tech was a joke when I ran HPDE at road atlanta. I spent months on prepAring my car and when I went to tech all they did was check all my lug nuts and said I was good to go. I guess Sebring is different though.

Any feedback on those Kumho's?

I am seriously considering them for a next set. I know a guy that runs them on a miata, but that's a whole different animal. They aren't too pricey either. I like the fact that I could drive to the track on them, race, and then drive home.

NT-05 IMO is the best tire for the money.

I've been running r-compounds on the track for quite a while now but I still drive to the autocross events so I run a street tire class on some Kumho XS 275/40-17's. The SCCA was running a PDX not too long ago on the little 1.2 mile club course in the infield at Daytona. I decided just to drive the car over and run on the Kumho's. They're about 2 1/2 years old at this point with quite a few autocross runs on them so they are falling off and almost to the wear bars. They still did pretty well with some slipping and sliding but it was a lot of fun. Here's some video and you can see me pretty much passing everything so they can't be that bad.
