If I read that correctly it is 20 minutes of real(ly gay) seat time.

...and its not 40 bucks, its 55. $15 is to get in the gate.

Is it worth it? I dunno, I think the money would be better spent on any of the books you can buy on amazon about driving. $55 bucks and 2/3rd of your day isn't worth it to me. Not to mention the crowd at hyperfest, the amount of traffic you'll see on the track and the mix of mosly new drivers that will be out there...I think it would be difficult for a new driver to learn much of anything at this event.

guys this info is for the 11th. i dont think the 12th is an official event. i would however like to be warned if i go to the racetrack if i'm only going to have 20 minutes of track time. This would be unacceptable ..no matter how cheap the entry is.
