call 941-748-3171 to setup a day (office closed mondays)
rates:
only rentable on a weekday M-F
$300 BASE for 2 cars/driver (i do not know if the track as a max number they allow)
additional cars +$50 each.
at 4 cars = $400 is 100 per person! thats insane!
If you also would like me to come out and give instruction to the drivers I will be glad to do so, my personal costs are minimal compared to any 'driving school' and I am willing to come out for:
$150 for as many cars as you have (my truck needs fuel to get there/back, this is included in that $150). Time split evenly between the drivers who 'pitch in' for me to come (if only 3 of the 6 drivers wanted me out there, I'll work with those 3).
Typical driving schools are 500-2000$ a person/per day depending on venue/car/instructor charges....
with this deal you can have (all prices per person)
--#car---------track only------track+instruction
2 drivers...........150 each................ 225 each
3.....................117....................... 167
4.....................100....................... 135
5......................90........................ 120
6......................83........................ 107
7......................79........................ 100
8......................75......................... 94
9......................72......................... 89
10....................70......................... 85
I'm available on almost any weekday with the notice of 48 hours, you can still try shorter notice but try not to :)

also, is it cool to do Tandem on these private days? :)
box240mod
03-05-2008, 09:24 AM
you will have to ask the track but i assume there is an employee and you will be required a cage.
if you want to be allowed tandem w/o cage... goto countyline.
onezx2ner
03-05-2008, 01:29 PM
What are the specifics on the cage we need to tandem at local events like Desoto and OSW Moroso etc...4 point?

without a 'sanctioning body' that has an overall rulebook you'd have to call each track and ask. you will for sure need door bars, the rest i dont know what they will require.

I'm sure anything that would pass scca/nasa tech would pass, which you might as well get since thats what you need for FD/nopi?
hey what are the hours for renting? for say 400 bucks how many hours

i took the liberty to call john up.
one car allowed on the track at a time. john didn't give me a max number, he just said $50 per car after the first 2 cars.
half a day (9am to 1pm OR 1pm to 5pm): $275 + tax
that's for TWO cars. each additional car is $50
full day (9am to 5pm): $500 + tax
for TWO cars. each additional car is $50

box240mod
03-13-2008, 12:47 PM
so hmmm, that makes it a lil different, really though, if you are going to rent the track for a whole day, you better have a lot of tires ready. so cost is still worth it if lots of people pitch in for a whole day.
onezx2ner
03-13-2008, 08:08 PM
You only need alot of tires if you don't suck, and most of us suck.

I have several other venues available, while not are all as close as desoto. also I can provide REAL sanction and insurance. if anyone wants... I mainly do road racing training and testing/setup for people, but... that being said If I were to rent a track for testing, there is no reason I couldn't let a couple drifters run for a donation to Tampa rally club.
onezx2ner
03-14-2008, 12:14 PM
^ You would be our savior. Get up with some one that knows what they are talking about in the drifting community(i.e. Titan Uranus, boxmod) and see what they think about getting something set up.
box240mod
03-14-2008, 01:48 PM
yea man, where are the tracks and what kind of cost, get me some info and all that, im sure we can get a drift class setup for your events. gonna send u an email for infor exchange.

Hey guys I called desoto today and the 27th next thursday is available so I need a lit of people who are definatly in. Once we know a number of people I will let you all know how much that breakls down to per person for time and money. Once we get a list and post prices we will do prepayments.

Not to rain on your parade there, but at the start of the post, boxmod broke down the entire thing for up to 10 drivers on pricing.
I went today with Jeremy, Dan, Gary, Brett, and Jen and it was awesome, 5 hours with 6 of us and Jen was the only one left with tires.
bebeleruetatsu
03-21-2008, 06:14 PM
I do know that but.. later in the thread you will see someone called and the pricing changed. At least count only 6 people were interested in going.. Now seems like only one who will actually be drifting.. just trying to help out.
4wheeldriftS13
03-21-2008, 06:48 PM
Bailey, im expecting you to come.. and tell Brett , jeremy and Dan to come out too!
jcunderhill
03-22-2008, 12:10 PM
I think I heard somewhere that there was a cap to the number of drivers allowed. You may want to call the track and check that out.
Bailey - thanks for calling me out for my "no smoke" abilities. :)
titan uranus
03-22-2008, 12:15 PM
ya, private day with me and 2 buddys of mine, we couldnt even use all 4 of our hours, ran out of tires and gas... i think i went through 8 or 10 tires? it was amazing.
onezx2ner
03-22-2008, 12:39 PM
Prices changed for the whole day, boxmod's post was for half a day rental.
Sean I might be able to come I don't know, it is kinda expensive if you try to do it week after week and I'm going to gainesville road course and OSW April 5th, so I have to shell out some money that day. Gary will definitely be down. It was only his third time out and he was linking the entire oval.
Sorry Jen, you were getting it, little more throttle control and add some steering angle. How did the rest of your day go?
box240mod
03-24-2008, 09:33 AM
yea the 1/2 day for even 6 drivers was a lot of time. If everyone shows up on time and gets out there you will either have no tires left, or you have a semi full of them. No tire mounting though so bring wheels.
and of course the prices are for only the ones drifting. If you are just there for support you dont have to pay, but I doubt they will let 50 people in to watch for free. Its a private track day, not a private demo.
I also asked about tandem, there will be requirements IF IF IF IF *IF* john is able to allow it. I'm trying to get it though.
4wheeldriftS13
03-24-2008, 04:33 PM
^prices changed for 1/2 day? vs full day?
also, *want to /can you go thursday? :)
box240mod
03-24-2008, 09:06 PM
IF my wheels come in i might want to practice on the 18s, but i really shouldnt take off work and spend money. i need money, not spending time. now if u want me to come work with you lol i can do that.
