Lack of interest (literally one person signed up at 30 days out.) No more planned for this year.

well it seems you will definitely shake things up in the class. the miata on paper looks like a real good choice for PTE.

Fail, didnt even know registration was open for it. Guess that means only 3 official events for NASA-MA autocross this year? Shame.

It's been on the websites since January, and in the bulk emails every few months, and on various forums. Not sure what else we can do :shrug:

So if a hyperdrive gives you 20-30 minutes of driving time, what does a HPDE give you? Quick google search didnt turn up anything to helpful.

HPDE1 is effectively the standard weekend entry that is equivalent to six hyperdrives, i.e. six ~20min track sessions and four to six classroom sessions.

Or looking at it another way, a Hyperdrive is equivalent to the first 1/6th of a HPDE1 entry (since it is one classroom session followed by one ~20min track session.)

There is no cheaper or easier way to get on a roadcourse at speed with an instructor riding shotgun...
