Renting Track for a day..
#106
well two of those rules suck. but oh well, it will still be fun. we will have to figure out who will be close in time and group people in similar time groups to keep people off each others ***...
i knew they would say no passengers. oh well. we will have to make the best of it and have fun anyways.
i didnt see a rule that said "no alcohol!!!" woooo hooooooo

Sorry if this has already been asked/addressed, but what all will be going on during the day? I know we'll be running the cars half to death, but what should we bring as far as food, drinks, etc? Is anyone bringing friends/girlfriends/etc? What will they be doing (I'm assuming they'd get bored after a while)? Anything I missed feel free to jump in, I'm new to this
Also - what are you guys doing about helmets?

If we have approximately 20 cars, and access for the whole day, we should break into groups. The rules do not allow for passing, so quicker drivers and the less-quick should be grouped. 20-30 minute sessions. We have a month to figure it out. I personally do not mind the no-passing rule, as I am a novice, and not excited about some knucklehead diving into a turn with me. My mission for the day is to learn my car...period. I have new wheels & tires, sways, etc., and have not had an opportunity to push the car. I likewise have no idea how my brakes will fair with repeated sessions. What better venue than a $100 track day? In the next couple weeks we should get a feel for the experience of the drivers and their cars (NA vs. FI) and take a stab at the groups. Probably be a very fluid day, but no harm in starting with a little structure.
Helmet...if you don't have one, you might as well pick one up. "SA" rated works for all road racing I'm aware of. A link to a decent site... http://www.racerwholesale.com/catalo...page=1&sort=5a. I'm told the SA rating lasts approx 10 years. You can save a few bucks getting an SA2000, with the understanding that the rating will expire sooner than a SA2005.
Spectators... no passengers, but I haven't seen any limitation on bringing a girlfriend. Eric & Jeremy will know more. I'd like to bring mine. I'd be up for a big group lunch. Maybe a bbq if they'll let us.
Interested to hear the thoughts of others...

You will definetly need a helmet so make arrangments to purchase one that is snell approved 2000 and newer is what your looking for.If you buy new at this time you will be buying a SA2000 just look for a sticker on the back of the helmet.It will say snell approved above or below DOT on the sticker,if no sticker on back of helmet just search under the inner liner its there somewhere.Buying used it could be out of date just look for the snell approved sticker as I descibed.Sharing helmets can work if your partner is off track when your on, if you don't mind someone elses head sweat

As of tonight me and Jeremy started talking about a way to place drivers in groups.What we are leaning towards is asking everyone what they want out of their on track time.Basicly setting up levels for the groups.
Level 1= Novice non aggressive 5-6/10
Never driven at speed on a track with other cars,do not want to push their cars hard, concerned with tire chunking, brakes fading, etc. in this case we will have a experienced driver quickly run through a few important things you'll want to know before your out there.
Level 2= Novice slightly aggressive 6-7/10
Have driven on a track at speed before with other cars,have some basic knowledge of how to properly enter and exit a corner,still not wanting to push hard due to being on street tires, stock brakes/fluid, etc.
Level 3= Intermediate aggressive 7-8/10
Have driven on a track at speed before with other cars often,do autocross events,car has been setup for track days, HP brakes/high temp fluid,etc.still using street tires but do not care about chunking them,looking to push their personal limits.
Level 4= Intermediate aggressive 7-8/10
This is basiclly the same as Level 3 but are using a DOT dedicated track tire.examples Kumho v700,Toyo RA-1,Falken RT615,driver has a good amount of experience and wants to push the car hard through the turns.
Level 5= Advanced aggressive 8-10/10
Lots of on track experience at speed with other cars/ lots of autocross experience,using dedicated track tires,car has been properly setup for driving at or near the limit.
Now this is just an idea but pretty close to how we will determine who will be on the track at the same time together.You will be asked to find the Level that best suits you.We can then see if you need to move up in Level or down after your first outing.

I talked to Nita today,we are more than welcome to bring coolers full of drinks and sandwiches if we would like.Just no BBQ'n,man I thought that would of been odd if we were not allowed to bring coolers and food.
I think I might order a pair of gloves,so the sweat does not cause my hands to slip on the steering wheel.

Thanks for the feedback guys, sounds good.
Im assuming I'll be in the first group at least to start - got the slotted brembos but the tires/suspension are bone stock and I've never been on a track with other cars before. I feel I am very capable and skilled with my car (hell I run track speeds every day to and from work, 90+ miles per day), but want to make sure I'm a little extra cautious with other guys' cars on the track
