Well, even if this doesn't happen this year, I think it is a great track day option with the whole track and just a few of us out there.

I'd be interested as I need to dial in my new 3 link/panhard rod coil over rear suspension and my brake bias w/ my new c5 z06 brakes.

Please advise on possible dates.

I'll check on the Friday possibility, but she did say Monday through Thursday. Now I just need tyres (for Mike K).

MattR · 2005-09-30, 10:06 PM

Oh, okay, then Monday would be better for me. Mid week is tough. Monday would be fine though.

tysonK · 2005-10-02, 06:48 PM

Ok, so tomorrow I will check about which Mondays are available.

ivanko · 2005-10-03, 02:11 PM

Monday only sucks for me from a "feel guilty from playing on a major work day" standpoint, but since I work for myself, Monday is acceptable.

NevadaSTi · 2005-10-03, 04:48 PM

HAHA, I work for myself also, so my weekends are whenever I take them. The only problem I have is that I have never been to a track day event. So, I am a NOOB in that respect.

I am interested.

I would be hesitant to use an event of this type as a 1st track event. Attend an Audi Club event w/ classroom and ride-along instruction first.

I had like 800+ miles at RFR before I did the Audi Club event, and learned more in one day w/ my Audi instructor than those first 800 miles taught me. In fact, I learned so much about how bad my driving was, I was scared all over again about getting out on the track!

doubleurx · 2005-10-03, 06:32 PM

Sorry, I spaced calling today. I will check tomorrow.

Did you guys ever go to this event? TEAM has an event, in case you didn't already know, on October 22-23rd at RFR. Newbies welcome, instructors will be there, etc.. We have a small group right now, but the track will work with us on it. We will, however, have flaggers, etc.. Cost is only $175 for one day, $325 for two days. We'll have a good two plus hours of track time. I might have to change the schedule around a bit, since we only have on novice group driver signed up so far (but he has two track days already, so I might squeeze him in the intermediate group). Details are at www.team-racing.org and the current December drivers list is at www.onemain.com/~bonster/december.html The Corvette driver in group C can't make it, so there really is only one person in novice group right now. Signups close a week from today, so let me know asap if you are interested.

No I kind of dropped the ball on this one due to all the stuff I am obligated for this month.
