That sounds like a great idea. Perhaps Alex would be interested in doing it again if we adopted the no-refund policy. I thought he ran a first rate event last year.

perhaps maybe a deadline like 2 weeks before the acutally day that way we can take care of refunds before hand. so if the track day is 6/20 give them till 6/5 to file for refund and after that ur either going or not.

 

I think that who ever "Sponsers" this thing will have to pay for the track fees way in advance. People just need to make a commitment and stick with it. It's kinda like planning a vacation with out the insurance.

 

w3rd. no refunds unless you're dead!

 

well if we get 30 cars to pay thats about 120 a car at willows at a weekday track rental rate of 3,500/day for the full track

and btw we are entering the "Premium Months" April, May
i dont see the big deal really. but what do i know
edgar,

 

yea im in have no problem paying in advance

 

What if your crappy WRX tranny blows third gear 2 weeks before the track day and no shop in Northern Kalifornia can get you RA gears or a 6MT installed in time?

 

Did the $3500 for the track include course workers, EMT's and such?

The last event I went to was one setup by Unlimited Laps I believe, and the Subaru Club's were able to join for a discount....maybe something could be done like that again?

 

Then you find a way to cover your $140 expense that you bought knowing there would be no refund. I am all for it.

Wait, can we bring our track car instead of our Subaru? Haha..

I got n00bed by 2x STis and 1 boxster in my '80 Celica in NASA group3 last time out. It happens, unfortunately moreso in the last couple years.

I vote for T-Hill as well for many reasons. Laguna is sweet but very cost prohibitive as well as the aforementioned soundcheck problem. I doubt anything I own would make it past turn 6 without a black flag.

The competition is there - you're a winner if you drive your car home. Low lap times, excellent corner execution are all nice by-products of not being an idiot on the track.

Piggybacking on an event like this is the best idea overall......many more people and opp's for flexible signup/refunds if necessary.

 

I think the big question is if Alex want's to step up again and be our hero? Last year he did a great job and this years event will only be as good as it's planner. As for the track, T-Hill will work but I think Button willow is more centralized for all of Kalifornias I-Club members. I have ran both and will run either. The more important issue is can we make this happen???? I hope so....

Thill or Bwillow both sound good to me, as far as the pay in advance thing go, is it 120 or 140 . and lez do a meet somewhere sometime before track day and get ppl signed up and ready to go, UCKK union city?

 

As far as "Piggy Backing" someone elses track day. There are some advantages as far as refunds and such but I think that much of the charm of last years event was the fact that it was I-Club only. It allowed us or forced us to get to know people from our own club. I also would rather not share the track with pickup trucks and rental cars as I have with events ran by other groups that must turn a profit so they sell every available inch of track.
Theres also nothing saying that we can't do this several times this summer. Perhaps we a I-Club only event and a Nasa and a Unlimited Laps day as well. That way we can all expirence several different tracks.
