MotorSport Ranch Speedway (Cresson) Nov. 28th SIGN UP!!!

Okay guys! You've been asking for it and I've got it set up. November 28th (Monday), we have the track for 8 or 9 hours! If you've never been able to open your car up in a safe environment, this is the place to experience what your car can do. Because the event is not timed, your insurance companies should cover it 100% because it's considered a defensive driving class. I'd check for sure, but I also wouldn't worry about it much. It's hard to lose your car on this track, but if you do, there are no walls to hit and only dirt to go off on. The track is a technical track which means it's not 100+mph like Texas Motor Speedway. You'll get up to about 80mph or so, but it has lots of turns, both up hill and down. I've raced this track and I had a blast.

The first part of the day is spent learning your car on the track by following an instructor. They also have you go through some cone exercises (slalom and braking). After we break for lunch the real fun begins. 4-5 open track sessions! In SoCal, I paid upward of $350-$375 for this type of event. It's only $150 for the whole day! G35's and 350z's welcome!

Here's a more detail overview of the days events:

BYOC
Bring your own car!

BYOC allows clubs and individuals to use their cars for driving school at the MotorSport Ranch. Apex grads get out earlier; new students get extra instruction to make the day a safe and educational experience.

Below is the time line for groups on BYOC.

1. 8:30 Arrive and sign in. Groups1 classroom (Miata).
2. 9:00-9:30 Group track drills. GP1
3. 9-9:25 Classroom GP2 (G35)
4. 9:30-10:00 GP2 track drills. GP1 Classroom
5. 10:00-10:30 GP1 Lead Follow GP2 Classroom
6. 10:30-11:00 Drills GP2 Lead follow
7. 10:30-1125 GP1 Lunch/CG-Lock
8. 11:30-12:25 GP2 Lunch/CG-Lock GP1 Track session

Randy said he wanted to see how many G's and Z's sign up before we let other cars join in. If we don't get enough from our own group then the sign up will open to all cars.

Damn. Nice job putting this together Randy!! Unfortunately it seems to fall on a potentially busy weekend, so turn-out may not be overwhelming. I just wanted to give props for getting this done and say to not be disappointed if the turnout isn't great.

I'm not worried. I already have people from other car clubs that are interested. I was just giving my fellow G'rs the opp to get in. So far, a supped up trans am, a supra and some Z's want to get in. I'll be opening this up to the masses soon.

I'd rather you bring your G, but if you'd rather bring your SE-R, why not. Email me once you've paid. My email is in the first post in this thread.
