Very casual and fun event for some quick seat time, maybe some test & tune if you need to make and test adjustments.

Show up and pay. No timing. No course working! Just line up and take a run... then line up and take another. Jeff & I went to one and each of us took 10 runs... in about an hour and a half. Decided that was sufficient (entry fee was $30 for that one) and called it a day. You could easily get in 20-30 runs if you stuck with it.

 

I hope this around when my car is down

 

Would be so much better if they allowed ~4 laps per run or something.

I don't really consider a single cold lap every 10-20 minutes a 'test n tune'

I'm sure I'll make it out some day.

I agree with bam2002. Charge based on attendance. No reason to stop having them. You want the price lower, get more people to come!

I'd pay $100 for 4 hours with 10 other cars...

 

Very good point, maybe like a warm up lap, 4 full-out runs and a cool down lap. So a total of 6 laps. If you guys can get in 15-20 laps in less than a hour-half just doing one at a time, why not take 6 at a time and maybe have 3-4 people on track at same time(havent been to the track myself so i dont know how many people could be on it at once). For those who have been to this track, is something possible and that we can bring up to the people who run it?

 

This looks like useful seat time to me.

I'll probably try camping somewhere nearby to try and keep it within my nonexistant budget. Anyone know a place they'd recommend?

 

Is your car stripped? If so just throw a inflatable matress and your favorite blow up doll in the back and call it a night!

 

Can't make this one Jerm but I'm marking those other dates on the calendar when I get into work tonight.

 

They allow passengers at these gigs? Was thinking this looks like a great event to be learned by a more experience driver

 

Hah, no. It's my daily/only car.

I've got a friend who doesn't live too far from GIR, but he's out of town a lot lately. Plus I like camping.

 

I wouldnt mind camping out sometime. It would have to be in a couple months though...buying a house soon so I cant spend any extra money
