If your instructors have mentioned you have a good enough grasp of track driving you can sign up for HPDE 2... it's not like you need an adult's permission to sign up for HPDE 2.

I will be signing up for HPDE 2 for at least the next 2 or 3 events as I still feel my technique needs work ... mainly consistency of the line I take.

Not sure if I'll be able to make it or not... the budget is still up in the air at this point.
