Hyper-Fest @ Summit Point, WV
I live under a rock so I just found about this.
In a nutshell, $40 for 20 minutes of track time on the Jefferson circuit (small one), plus $20 entry fee to the festival itself. I'm a total noob so this sounds great to me. Instructors included. Is anyone else going? http://www.hyper-fest.com https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1267 <- registration page for track time Come to HyperFest™ and hang out with thousands of like minded auto enthusiasts. It is all here......come to play or just come to watch...or better yet, DRIVE... **Don't miss the Extreme Drift Circuit Round 3. Who is going to win it all this year? **Come Friday at 6pm to see the Extreme Drift Circuit Practice Session. NASA Pro Road Racing will be battling it out all day on the main track. **Ride on track at full speed with a professional driver. **Or, better yet, drive your own car on track at full speed with a professional instructor in the HyperDrives™. **Lots of live music Stay tuned... **Blind Driver Golf Cart Qualifying at the Maxx Power Display Booth.

And celebrity actor David Conrad will be the head judge. |
Hyper-fest is a blast. I have been many many times. Check and see if there are still spots open for the hyper drive. I know the actual HPDE that weekend is full.
|
Awesome! Yeah I already registered for the hyper drive. I'm a noob so that works for me.
|
I saw the word "Hyper" in the title and the only thing I could think was:
"FUCK, that idiot has a car show?" |
Kinda jealous of my friends that are fortunate enough to attend. :(

I was totally kidding about the drag racing :)
I might head up on Saturday.. |
I'll be there for saturday. I was really hoping to be going there with all my turbo shizz on but I'll still be n/a due to lack of time.
|
I'll be up there on Saturday, and I'm registered for one of the Hyperdrives. I'm still a bit confused about the deal with the Hyperdrives, though, as it seems like you don't get a time slot until you show up at the info booth.

I had a great time. I have been missing out. Driving on the track looks like sooooo much fun. The lemons race was AWESOME. The owner of the green fancy car was a prick. The drift competion was pretty cool but sorry folks, doing it on the street is more fun.
I want to start tracking my car NOW The crowd was about 20% cool car people and 80% skanky trailer trash. Fun time! |

Review sounds about right for Hyper-Fest. Did you get to go back to the paddock any for the main track? If you are interested in spending more time out there at the track, check out this thread on miata.net. There are a number of NoVA locals who are out at the track almost every weekend doing things. So if you want to become more involved you can.
I'll get more involved once I marry some old money or something. Actually in all honesty next thing will either be a HPDE with Nasa or Friday at the Track thing. Also summit point tech inspection was a joke. Every single autocross I've attended had a more through inspection :laugh: |
Had a great time at Hyperfest yesterday, even though soviet is dead-on about it being crowded as hell and full of questionable taste (both the show cars and in the parking lot).
The track time was awesome and makes me fear for my bank account. It seems like I'll be getting new brake pads sooner than expected, as whatever NAPA pads the previous owner put on just didn't inspire a lot of confidence after 20 minute of hard braking. I don't think the car would have stood up to a longer session without major fade. A Chatterbox communicator is going on my list of stuff to get soon, too. There were a couple times with the open top I couldn't hear shut that the instructor was saying. Worse still, there was one time where I only heard half of what he said, and when "Don't stop" sounds like "Stop" when someone has an off-track experience in front of you it's a jarring experience for a few seconds. |
MY dad was out there this weekend. Once I found out it was hyperfest weekend, i decided not to tag along :)
