It's hard for me to sign up too far in advance because I never know when I'll be traveling. I'd still like to do the upcoming MSR event, I've never done the full 3.1 there!

you might want to add the Apex Driving Academy events as well. they put on some one day events at MSR which are nice for those who can't give up an entire weekend for a Driver's Edge event.

I was in the Blue run group at TMS. I believe because I had a "low" HP car. The majority of cars there were Porsches and 'Vettes. On that big oval I'd have had no chance to keep up with the HP difference like I can on the road courses.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I'd love to get into some SCCA autox or something but time, money and time keep me from getting involved. I've been racing on dirt on and off for a while but I'd love to get a car into it. Having a sedan doesn't help probably but I'd still like to try it sometime. Right now, I'd just love to get out on a track and just see how the car performs and get to know it a little more in an extreme environment.
So, to sign up for some track time at MSR, I have to fill out the deal and see if I can be fit in with everyone else? I'm probably going out to the Drive your Ride deal at the Speedway in Sept.

If you just want to test it out, I personally would sign up for a TDE (The Drivers Edge) Event. Since you are new, they will most likely put you at the Beginner level, and give you a dedicated instructor. This will help you learn to drive your car and learn the track at the same time.
If you have the time, TDE is doing the MSR 3.1 track on Sept 6-7. http://www.thedriversedge.net/02_tracks.htm
