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.

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

I'll be volunteering for this.

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.

Yep, we're making it official on September 19th! Adam's going to run with the Shelby Club at Blackhawk on October 2nd. We'll have to stop up at RA though. (:

i need to stay away from events like these, otherwise i know i will get hooked and end up wanting to build a road race car

this quote is soooo true! after just 1 day at RA on the track, it ruined my desire for drag racing. nothing like winding your car out around turns for several minutes!

I agree Yoo! I went there for the Ford One Lap last year... It was a BLAST!!! Got two laps, had John (meatseeker) in the car with me...



I think I might have to do this next year though... Turtle, we have a long winter ahead of us getting this other beast setup...

joe, i don't think you fully understand what you're getting yourself into by allowing me to touch the suspension on your car

Well after we work the issues out, I probably won't have a whole lot of ching to spend on it... But we'll see what's left in the budget...
