The cheapest track day & time attack EVAR!!!
 
If you've ever wanted to drive your car on a real race track but didn't want to shell out over $100 for a single day, here's your chance!



I'll be helping the guy run this event. It will be an extremely low traffic event. The max cars on track at the same time will be around 10 total cars on a 1.1 mile course. For the Time Attack portion it will only be 3-4 cars at the same time.

There will most likely be two 10-20 min practice sessions and then 2 timed laps which will be the "Time Attack".

This event is not intended to be an HPDE1 event but Novices are okay due to the format. If you want to start tracking your car I highly recommend NASA's HPDE1 program and move up through the ranks, but this is certainly a one time event where you can "try it out" for very little cash.

Tage 04-18-2008 08:21 AM

Go to the website and register (i.e. buy your ticket) now! The event is going to be limited to only 50 entrants for the time attack.

I told the Dezod guys I'd be in on this from civicforums.com

BlueTeg 04-18-2008 02:53 PM

Tage-
Are they going to have separate practice sessions for the street, mild, wild, unlimited guys or is everyone running in the same practice session(s)? Its unclear from his schedule. If they max out the entries (at 50 drivers), and are not planning on having separate practice sessions, how are they going to limit the number of drivers out on track to ~10?

EDIT: n/m the above. I just saw your post on the AX forum. question answered.

- Format of the event will likely be something along the lines of:
o Classroom session
o Parade laps
o Practice #1 (5 groups of 10 cars)
o Practice #2 (5 groups of 10 cars)
o Time Attack (1 warm up, 2 timed laps, 1 cool down / only 3-4 cars on track at the same time)

I was thinking about running...

Tage 04-21-2008 05:35 PM

I think the guy is just doing trophies.

BlueTeg 04-21-2008 10:23 PM

Listen to Bloomberg the mercenary here. LOL.

jeff@loooseboyracing.com 04-22-2008 12:02 PM

no prerequists to get on track,
no instructors,
and its a timed event-

BTLD_LS1 04-22-2008 12:13 PM

BTLD_LS1 04-22-2008 11:25 PM

comptonasskerry 04-23-2008 01:37 PM

Vtecracer 04-23-2008 03:36 PM

still contemplating this one.... i dont want to hurt my motor too much or risk blowing it up.... still piecing together the new one and its not ready for the track yet. I am going to make the may 3rd event at PIR though.


-cire-

BlueTeg 04-23-2008 04:03 PM

This one is at the end of May....so if you're going to the NASA event on May 3/4, why would you not be ready for this one?

Vtecracer 04-23-2008 04:59 PM

I am trying to limit my track time to minimal to preserve the motor. Not sure which weekend in May i will be installing the new motor.. might be that one since the one before were supposed to be helping Dan at the Enduro at the night event.

Still might make this, not sure......

BlueTeg 04-23-2008 05:38 PM

I see. So you'll run (read; limp) the May 3/4 event on your current motor, then pull it out and put in the new one afterwards.

Does Jesse have an account on here? We need to get his ass out back out at the track.

Kinetic 04-23-2008 06:13 PM

I am going to pass

ILIKETODRIVE 04-23-2008 06:59 PM

Crappers. I'll be running on the 4th cause I have to work on the 3rd.

boozebag 04-23-2008 09:06 PM

ILIKETODRIVE 04-24-2008 12:30 AM

If you're gonna be out there Sunday, I'll point you in the right direction. :thumbsup:

B16offuryz 04-24-2008 12:41 AM

bmxican 04-24-2008 01:24 AM

you willing to help a fellow NUB? hit me up man or text me 602-653-1473:clap:

BlueTeg 04-24-2008 09:01 AM

I am more than happy to help you (or any of the other "new" guys out there) with the basics so longs at there is adaquate spacing between my run group and yours.

i.e. If you're in rung group 3 and I'm 4. Then it will be too tight.
If you're in 1 or 2 and I'm in 4 or 5 then that would work.


FIR West is a fuuuun track for Hondas.
