Michael:

What is a hyperfest and how does it differ from a run-of-the-mill track day? I assume more competitive/less track time?

Mike, he highlighted the relevant part...

blah blah blah Dancing Girls blah After Dark blah.

k, now serious question Michael...

For Hyperfest, as a novice you have to carry an instructor, right? My car will be a single seater...

[Kitcat]

Good point Mazda. So let me add to my earlier question: Do the dancing girls ride with you, do they participate in the roll over contest, and how many of them do I have to roll to win:)?

What is Hyperfest?

Please visit http://www.hyper-fest.com/

Do the dancing girls ride with you?

That is up to you. I bet they get more than one offer.

Instructors in Level One and a one seater - you may have to defer to Folis Jones since he is an instructor. I will pass it on to him.

[jwduncan]

Hyperfest is something to experience at least once. It's like a typical track day mixed with tons of spectators, girls, and drifting.

GIRLS OF HYPERFEST BOUNCE CONTEST

BE AT INFLATION NATION AT 3:30 TO BOUNCE WITH THE GIRLS



They do it differently down south?!!! :eek:

Someone said there was driving as well? :conehead:

What happens if you are not registered with NASA - do you get shoved down into hacker land?

[blubarisax]

This sounds like my kind of event, getting rolled by hyper girls... Count me in!

[MichaelD]

Karl are you really In? Great! Call Hampton inn on Berryville road now for your room.

Everyone will have to become a NASA member (if you are not already) $45 a year. Join your own area. NE, Mid Atlantic, etc.

I spoke wirh the chief insructor for NASA Mid Atlantic today. He will consider each new driver on a individual basis. If you have previoud track experience that places you in HPDE 3 you will likely be placed there. If not you may be placed in HPDE 2. Whatever level you are placed in, it is subject to your driving at thhat level. If not you could be moved to a lower level.

My experience is they are safety first yet fair. I have driven with many of you at NJMP and all of those drivers would be fine in NASA HPDE 3.

How about the rest of you? Follow Karl.

What else could be more fun that weekend?

[blubarisax]

I'd be happy to fill up the trailer with any items from those trailerless seven owners from New Jersey. The drive is about 5 hours for me from northern new jersey.

Cheap rooms are still available, act quickly!!!

Honestly, it sounds more like a circus than a nice track day. Michael, how many cars on track for a usual session in the past?

Tom

[MichaelD]

I beleive Summit Point caps it at 35 cars on track at one time. If we all sign up as soon as registration opens, we can all siign up for HPDE 3. George seems happy in HPDE 2. That said, Hyperfest sellsout fast.

Yes there is a circus element that comes with the drifter crowd in the spectators.

So Tom, when are you registering at the Hampden Inn?

Mike,

Please give us a heads up if you see when the registration opens! :party::cheers::party::party:

[MichaelD]

[blubarisax]

I recall seeing that registration opens April 8th, but that could be from last year. I can't find any informaion online yet!

Bump, Bump, Bump -- All Jersey Se7ens must attend!!!

Thanks for posting the videos Michael! It is always good to see that I am not the only one who deals with irrational slower cars! What engine/transmission has Folis got in his car? It seemed to boogie along pretty quickly.

[Kitcat]

Folis has a Zetec developed to the nth degree. Ditto his Birkin.

Folis is in his mid 70's. He proves that old age just gives you more time to go racing.

Michael, the hood ornament in the Caterham video looks suspiciously familiar. Car wudda gone a lot faster if both Caterham headlights were sideways:).

[MichaelD]

Folis is now 76. I usually only get to see his car from the rear when we are on track. His Zetec was developed and tuned by Abacus Racing in Suffolk VA. ECU developed for him by MegaSquirt and it puts out about 245 - 255 HP, Quaife Sequential trans. It is really a beautiful, well cared for car with lots of TLC and ingenuity from Folis.

[Kitcat]

Abacus tuned my Haltec managed Duratec, I will have to get it to a dyno. It's a pretty mild state of development: redline is only 6800. My lowly X-flow was 6600 rpm's.

[redgoose]

Redgoose is in for summit point..sounds like good fun

[blubarisax]

I'm working on it as fast as I can!!!

[MichaelD]

[MichaelD]

Ron,

Not to worry. you will be fine. Scott Lentz signed up today. He said Gp 3 had 17 cars so gar. The cut off is 35 per group. It looks like we will have 8 or 9 Sevens (owners) in our group.

[Croc]

Michael - Impressive achievement to get that many sevens together. I am sorry I will not be in the country for this event but I am sure that you will have a few drinks for me in the evening :D Make sure someone gets some good video!

[redgoose]

Redgoose has to cancel do to the fact that it will be fathers day and i must be at family affair that day..sucks for me..hope to see most of you at njmp the following week

[MichaelD]

Fathers day should be for the "FATHER". They should support you. You have been supporting them their entire life. :-)

Bring the family to Summit Point.

Sorry you can't make it.
