GHIT 0261:\xa0 Our NJMP HPDE Event - Part Deux

We had a large group of drivers at the recent NASA Northeast HPDE event at NJMP\u2019s Lightning course.\xa0 Since schedules did not fully coincide last week, we broke our group up into two different episodes.\xa0 We start off with our usual goals for the weekend and cover how the event went.\xa0 For this episode, we had Audra on who had never been to this track and was driving her 2017 BMW M2 for the weekend.\xa0 Adam came to the event and was going to use Bill\u2019s M3 but due to mechanical issues, he had to use Vicki\u2019s 1999 turbo NB Miata for one of his stints.\xa0 Elizabeth was trying her new to her SpecE30 on the track.\xa0 Lisa returns for a second visit on this event and drove Audra\u2019s M2 at the event in the Hyperdrive session
