Yeah, I'm ready for a little Evo smackdown too.

 

too steep right now.

 

I'm in

 

already innnn

 

I'm like Brian and M-Chan - if there isn't an Auto-X, I'm game.

 

OMG, that's sooo funny. You used for gt# for a login here. I was gt3758b back in...

91. lol, I'll never forget my special #.

 

I'm in unless it's April 21-23rd.

 

would it be better to take a class first? done a few autocross events, but thats it. i also havent taken the 'upgraded' version out to anything other than late night cornering practice at the "shallowford testing loop".

 

i believe the point is if Siegel goes, it would be like a class partially?

 

Excellent idea!

Two thumbs up!


Thanks to Alex and Scott for organizing this.

I hope that the dates don't follow on autocross weekends.

I'm down. Add me.

 

definately interested. but going there will depend on which day we go.

 

This isn't class, it's more like a track day or a "test n tune" i believe. The gist of the event is you come and try out the track, with instructors are around to help out people when they need it. Correct me if I'm wrong Alex. Most of the track days I've gone to have been in this format and most of the time I snagged the instructors for the entire day because nobody was asking for them.

 

yes this will be like an open track event... SS will be helping us organize the event... however, instructions will probably not be included...

oh and im in too

 

Count me in!

 

man milo, triple post, thats nuts

 

that was alex posting from my computer...

btw, i need to increase my post count

 

WTF?

Only 10 people? That's :nuts:


You can EASILY run 30 people there with out a problem. Three run groups with 10 members on track at any given time for 30 min a session and still charge $150 a driver.



Doooo Ittttt!

 

You could up the entry fee to $195 to help with the costs. Will the extra $1350 cover it?

Smiles added for emotion.

 

wow this did go quick where did you get such a great drawing of the track?

 

i wouldnt be too comfortable being on the track ta tally with 10 others at the same time... 3-6 at a time would be as many as im comfortable with

 

and $150 is not exactly peanuts for most of us still paying on the car, especially considering the gas expense along in getting there... i'm poor

 

Hey Guys,
For those that don't know, Talladega has raised their prices. Saturdays have gone to $2150 for 10 cars. Even Friday's are $1800 now for 10 cars. Fortunately I have been renting Tally for 5+ years and I can get us one more Friday for $150 each.

We can get Friday March 3rd for $150 each, and I could probably get 12 cars total on there.

I can get a Saturday at the same rate, but only if that Saturday is still open 7 days out. I don't think we want to bank on that.

I really don't think we'd ever want more than 6 cars on the track at a time. If somebody is fast they'll be catching people all the time. If they're slow, they will be watching their mirrors all the time. I really like for people who are relatively new to be able to concentrate on learning to drive on a racetrack, not worrying about other cars.

For the $150 each I will bring some classroom materials, helmets, radios, etc and I'll be happy to ride-along and instruct some. It obviously won't be as much personal instruction as a school, but it should help those who are new to a track.

So, the first day we can get is Friday March 3rd. How does that sound?

SS

 

Sounds like this is gonna be fun. All my friends who do this track love it. You'll run out of gas/tires/brakes/endurance beore you run out of track time. I hope ya'll have another one when i'm out of school!

 

pretty sure i will need some instruction, as i have never driven on a true track before. now to check with work.

 

i kinda thought u were planning on attending the 500 member party that u will be hosting for us

 

damn i wish i could go to this... i've got tech issues though (tires nearly cooked, shock-tower bolt broke) BLAH!

stupid tein backorders

 

DANG, I wish i would have seen this earlier! Any chance that i could come and hang out?

 

i believe u can... scott will chime in with track rules but i dont see y spectators wont be allowed... keep checking in on this thread... details may change

 

Trey Commander has put on three events there with 30 cars, 10 on track and NEVER had a problem with traffic or cars touching. 10 cars is gravy on that track. Now if you are not comfortable with that, you should get more seat time. 10 is the norm there.

Whenever I come up on a slower car, I wait and pass at either the back or front straight or coming out of the skid pad. It's not a big deal like you guys make it out to be. :lol:

Dooo Ittt! The extra cars can pay for the insurance. You can have a Novice group, Intermediate Group and an Advanced group. That way you don't have the fast guys freaking out the slow guys.

The system works, don't be skeered!!

Now if it were a "School" then I can see only have 6-8 drivers there, but this isn't the case.



30 x $195 = $5850

30 x $150 = $4500

That should cover the costs. :naughty:

 

below the shock tower hole.... gonzo.

 

lol you're not letting this go eh. are there any spots left?

 

i'm gonna check with him again on the bolt issue... if he thinks i'm in good enough shape then i'll go

 

Can we first allow spots to those that signed up the first time around? I may not check the forums as often as the others.

 

If someone flakes, sign me up! I'm itchin to get back out there.



cough*30peeps*cough

 

put me down... i'll know by friday if i'm good to go. i'm sure someone will take my space in line if the list get's down that far(if i can't go).

 

I'm in for sure, I just need to know where to send the money.
