    run your car at Road America!


    http://roadamerica.fbody.us/

    Hi All,
    this is a great chance to run your car on a race track,
    AT YOUR PACE!
    there is no timing, no racing, just a Lapping day event,
    where you get to run your car on the track for 4 or 5, 20 minute sessions.

    there are 4 groups,
    D= Novice = Begginer, with or without Instructors
    C= experienced
    B= Faster group with experience
    A= race cars, fast cars, Much experience

    It is a Very SAFE time on the race track, a chance to excercise some of that HP without getting a ticket!
    PLUS,
    you can take friends for a ride, we allow passengers!

    Money money money. I wish it grew on trees.

    After my last track event at Gingerman I found a few things that need to be fixed on the car before going back out. Don't think I'll have the time/cash to make to this event this year but I will try!

    I was thinking "cool" but then I saw the price and went "HA!"

    LOL, GLD charges what $30 to race? you can get what 10-20 passes? so you get what MAYBE 2 1/2 - 3 min of action at the most. you know how much money you would have to spend to get a full hour+ of racing?

    i'll be going unsure if i liz will run her car or if we will just go and hang out.

    I'm not saying it's not a somewhat reasonable price, I'm saying I have other things I can drop $230 on. I was thinking more along the lines of $100, MAYBE $150.

    And at GLD, the slower your car is, the more racing action you get

    The price is fine. That is totally normal for road racing track time especially at such a nice track. This is not drag racing, so it's and apples-to-oranges comparison.

    And just as Flick pointed out, realize how much time you actually spend racing your car! I just went to a 2 day event where I ran in 8 sessions at 15 minutes a piece! So I was out on the track for 2 hours! In fact, I burned through about 20 gallons of fuel IIRC! There was so much track time I actually just skipped 3 sessions because I didn't even need all that time.

    You RX7 guys have cars that actually turn and should definately make it to a road racing event sometime if you haven't ever done it. Make sure you have a new set of brakes and good brake fluid, register as a beginner and try to get an instructor... It will be worth every penny.

    and one question for anyone who might know the answer... what catagory would i be in? since in not very experienced but my car is very well done lol. i would hope id be in the D class since i've never driven on the track before besides in forza haha.

    Liz, you would be in "D" class. "D" class is for people that are new to the track, and not so experienced drivers.
