This is perfect for anyone that has an interest in taking their performance oriented car on the track to work on driving fundamentals and getting seat time. The fact that you have previous auto-x experience will only help you. Remember, these events are non-competitive and focus on safety and fun! I look forward to meeting you at NJMP. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
David

Normally you qualify to be in a "run group'. Most organizations and drivers use the honor system. There is no stimga if you're a beginner, hell we were all beginners once. The great thing is that you are allowed, and will learn at your own pace. Don't feel intimadated or uncomfortable, we are all here to have fun. No attitudes, or chips on shoulders Its amazingly safe, no passes without the car getting passd pointing you bye (point bye) unless you have experience and are in a higher run group. The corner workers at the tracks are very well trained professionals, this isn't NASCAR. Safety is everyones utmost concern, and normally unsafe drivers are asked to leave and don't return. Get to a track, and have fun

. If one signs up for advanced group and he/she only brings their ego and novice driving skills, they will be pulled from that group. Honor System for safety

So is the 6/11 date at Thunderbolt looking good? My wedding anniversary is the 10th so have to plan carefully! It's a mid week date so a little tough for me. Weather generally still nice/moderate though. Want to have something to look forward to after this miserable winter!

Is it possible for me to bring my Z06 and pay the $250 while my two friends "share" an frs and pay $125 each?

Does your organization have rules regarding passangers? Most allow advanced drivers only to have passangers as long as 16yrs or older, sign waiver, legal guardian or parent signs waiver, approved helmet, driver and pasanger have same seat/restraints, advanced drivers only, and only allow passangers in the afternoon sessions.

Almost all organizations allow a car to be shared, but I think each pays full price, sorry to the OP if I've over stepped my bounds in answering questions, just trying to help. I think it would be stupid for an organization to allow that, could you imagine 25 friends each paying $10.00 each driver taking 2-3 laps over the entire day of normally 4 sessions. We went online and let an org know that their time saving/track day decision of combining novice and advanced drivers in the same run group was a very bad and very dangerous decision. I talked to a couple of novice drivers and they all said they were nervous about having advanced drivers passing them at high speeds. It wasn't the drivers fault, it was the organizers responsibility to provice a safe enviroment for all of us. We'll never run with them again.

I remember that. Farrari off 2 and 4 wheels 3 times and at the end of the day driver was thanked for coming out by event coordinator. Oh driver was novice group, just got the car and never on track and instructor in the car. Bad all around

George you took my example to the extreme. If 25 people wanted to do a track day I'm sure they could negotiate their own rates as a group lol. I'm asking for 2 people to share 1 car. They can't afford dropping $250 for a track day each. The organizer could set limits on how many people can share a car as a compromise.

theVcar

I think it is really only one and a half (1 1/2) person per car.

Hold on OP said it was 250 for all events... is that PER event then?

GeorgeZNJ

Of course I gave an extreme scenario, I'm an extreme person, some think I'm nuts. 2 people sharing a car is normally accepted.

PDA would allow for splitting of a car if you were in the advance group.

I see it working easier for the advance group since they have all been signed off to go solo. In the lower groups I would be worried that I signed off 1 student and then another student jumped into the car without being checked out. Personally I think it would be hard to manage and 1 bad apple could easily spoil the day for the rest.

$250 for 13 track days the sessions would be filled before the first post.

It is $250 per event.

Wicked Weasel

We were doing 15-20 track days per year. There are only so many weekends and the tracks fill up quickly so we would do both weekends and weekdays depending on the track, the rate and the amount of track time we would get.

But to answer your question there are clubs that have weekend dates. Many times it will be more expensive since the track costs more for the premium time.

To think I spent $30 bucks to run the Nurburgring! America is crazy expensive to track

Wicked Weasel: do you have details of your track days? BTW I'll be meeting you guys in three weeks, we can discuss details then.

Wicked Weasel

I have a log of all my track days. Temp, tires, car mods, Data Logging...

After many years of doing track days I just took the last year off to figure out what I want to do next. Right now I am traveling to racing events and taking pictures. Not sure if it is less expensive or less time consuming, but I really enjoy it.
