    Yes it is $80 to run a single session. Instructors may or may not have to ride along. It is their call as to your level of ability. All single session participants will be refered to the head instructors.


    Also doing a touring session both days at lunch break. That should be 40-45 minutes on track. Usually speed in the straits is kept down to 60-70.
    But the corners are not
    That will be $60. Not near as hard on brakes either.

    What do you have for brake pads? You'd be in D group which doesn't move to fast anyways

    The Speed3 is ready to roll again on Sunday. Got the HP+ pads back on and all freshly bled.

    Looking forward to having an instructor ride along again since this is only my second time at RA on track.

    If they sign me off for ride alongs in the afternoon, I have 4 doors. Lets all pack in and go for a ride!

    No helmets. 60-70 is the most speed we'll see on the straits.

    straights are usually 125-130'ish depending on exitspeeds, and kink is usually 95'ish...

    keep in mind, this is an NA 4-cylinder on 205/50-15 street tires...

    Wow! That's booking along pretty good. I was only hitting about 125 last fall, although I was holding back from dropping her into top gear and preparing myself for the braking zones more.

    Decided to put a new wiring harness in the car a couple weeks ago and waited until tuesday to start putting it back together. Some procrastinators never learn... Planning on heading up this afternoon, tech tonight and crash at the baymont. See ya tomorrow!
