I was thinking about going this one.
Now that it's $155, it's hard to refuse.
I'm most likely to go.
I'm gonna do my motor swap next month so it depends on if the new motor is running well enough for track too.
I was wondering how much emphasis on instruction part... anybody know?
I am hoping that we can have a lot of free practice by ourselves as well as instruction with instructors.

Ive been MANY times, and the instruction part is secondary.
They require that a instuctor ride one lap with you in the morning, but the rest of the day , you are on the track all day by yourslef.
If you dont feel comfortable out on the track by yourself, then you can ask a instructor to ride with you.
There are two groups
beginning and advanced.
Look in photo albums
"Button Willow" and "Button Willow 2" i think its called
for pics from the last few times I went

what about that skid recovery and skid pad practice they are advertising?
I go to track events a lot (every month so far this year). It's always fun and I learn by myself but sometimes I want second opinion from an instructor. I really want to perfect braking this year. That's why I was interested in this event. What I really want is something like a "licence test" in GranTurismo. I learn a lot from that and wish there was a school like that in real life.

Im in for sure. Do we have to have the instructor even if we have prior track experience? What configuration are they going to be running the track? Do we have a say in it? My vote is to INCLUDE the bus stop and get rid of the spike. So basically the FULL configuration minus the spike. What other clubs well be attending? I would like to know who im going to be sharing the track with. For example if its a speed trial event I would stay home.. haha If any of you have ever attended speed trial events you know all it is is a bunch of fiberglassed out aluminum wing wearing honda's trying to show their stuff on a road track for the first time. NOT COOL AT ALL!.
Keep in mind everyone you'll need a helmet, prolly SA-2000 on up.

JUSTIN-
im over your house every night, why dont you ask me theese in person.
THIS IS A OPEN track day. ALL cars are welcome. As I said the instructor Is REQUIRED to ride with you once, and only once. HOWEVER if you feel you need one, they are standing by. All the times I have been there, nice cars show up. No ricers, just racing enthusiasts.

hey hey hey,...
I thought I would ask here that way others that might have the same questions could have them answered. So we can have instructors all day huh? That being the case, my driving skills might require that I have every empty seat in my ride filled with an instructor.. hahaha
