Don't worry about your first go-round in HPDE, painters tape on the side doors is adequate (if you want to put them on at all), not likely they're going to have a hard time picking your car out of the pack in HPDE, or in any group for that matter. Either it's going to be the black SRT6 Crossfire, YOU, or the black SRT6 Crossfire, YOU again, LOL. The # requirement is more for the upper echelon groups who compete for points / trophies. Although the track stewards like to refer to car #'s instead of types when they "ding" you at the drivers meetings for doing something stupid.

BTW, You can quickly qualify for upper echelon groups eg. TT class with a few HPDE events under your belt, providing you get the instructor to sign-off on your TT license application and you feel confident in your skills. The biggest difference between the two are that you are allowed full speed open passing on all areas of the track and TT is timed "competition" with trophies and national points awarded.

It's a good idea to get your instructors name and e-mail if you plan on running with NASA No. Cal. next season and want to advance up the ladder to full competition license, that way when/if you petition for your license, you can have X, Y, Z instructor vouch for you.

I'm really looking forward to having you join us. First, to meet you. Second to have another, higher HP Crossfire on the track & third to have someone else (other than WOODY in the UK and SRT6-CROSSFIRE) that finally understands the potential of this car on euro style road racing courses. And, it's just good clean fun with lots of adrenalin and lots of cool race cars to gawk at...
