I've run with NASA a few times and I mostly agree with Marc's synopsis. But I have had a few close calls. For instance, I had someone try to pass me at the entrance to turn 6 at SP without a point by. We were both lucky that I saw him duck inside -- my car doesn't have a mirror on the right side. And another time, there was an old guy with a modded Audi S4 who took his time through the corners and then used the straights as a drag strip. Needless to say, he really wasn't watching his mirrors either. So I had to pull into the hot pits a couple of times.

But this goes hand in hand with their easy-going attitude. I was also running with their red run group (highest non-instructed). They also allowed me to take a passenger along for a ride along during the last session of the last day.

I found track time a little shorter than what we get with PCA -- particularly when you factor in the cost. Also, if the HPDE piggy backs a race weekend, pit space is crowded. A crash during a race can also cut into track time.
