Ti track day
 
Now that we have made a calender how about a track day? I know it sounds crazy but I thought it would be a good suggestion for the future. It would also be an opportunity to have a ti show at the track.

There are a lot of tracks. It would also need to be in conjunction with a sanctioned school.

I like leguna seca and road of america. And Im sure we could find someone to help us out with the school thing.

I'd love to drive Laguna Seca if it wasn't 3000 miles from me.
Laguna Seca is $$$$$.
I've never been further east than Putnam Park.
I freguent VIR, Summit Point, Mid-Ohio, Watkins Glen.

Yeah I know but you gotta admit it would be cool. I live in Iowa so leguna seca isnt really close to me either.

Road America is within driving distance for you.

SDKmann 12-20-2005 04:35 AM

Thats why I suggested it. Have you ever been there?

road america is awesome. just be hard to justify driving 16 hours or whatever to get back there :) i'm thinking track days posted in the region sections might work the best (and has been done in the past).

My dad took his Porsche 911 up there with our old neighbor with a NSX. I didnt go but the video they took was awsome.

Good luck getting a day at road america. It costs a ton of money, and they are kinda tough to deal with according to what I hear. Try for a smaller track like Gingerman in Michigan. Thats a great TI track.

I guess nobody here cares about a track called New Hampshire International Speedway. I worked at flag stations there for Audi club event last year.

Florida has,

Sebring..$$$ for a track day..last time I think it was 150/car for it, I got to do 4 laps for free last time i was there..so ha!..but great course overall.
Gainesville which is normally 100$/car for the day, not as fun as Sebring, but for the price worth it, and it has a smoother surface in my opinion..well less used surface.
And I think Ocala has a road course now too but I am not sure about it.
I would be up for a SouthEast Meet at Gainseville with Tis and other involved.

I drove NHIS and did not care for it. Maybe it was because it was an Ofest school and there where a lot of novices, including myself. I did not tracking out against the wall, then I remember a downhill and hard right up a hill. Everytime I went down that hill there was a line of cars waiting to turn. Brakes don't fall me now. All there are a ton of marbles on that banked turn.

$150 is not bad. We are $175/day for a much smaller track, Summit Point.
And that still doesn't cover our expenses.

I'd be up for it too. I also have a couple other non ti friends that'd attend with e30s.
