Shannonville April 24
I have tentatively rented Shannonville on the Fabi track from 530-730pm April 24. I can have 12 people total, so if anyone wants to come out you have to let me know well in advance, as well as prepay. The amount is $60.00 per car. The track will open at 530 and close at 730, no run groups passing rules etc. You will have to sign 2 waivers, one for the track another to state your car is safe for track use and you release myself and Shannonville for any liability. Let me know or forever hold your peace!

what does this mean? Al, do you think this is a suitable track for my first track experience? Also, whats the word on helmets? |
I'm afraid of having no passing rules. Other noobs should be too. *cough*jay*cough*
|
Wonder if I can make it in time, finish work at 3, with weekend traffic hmmm.....
|
This is an open test day for me and 11 close friends. If you dont want to wear a helmet thats up to you. Every time we have passing rules there is more trouble then when we dont. The race cars that are going are doing so to break in engines, they wont be going flat out. You will have a tough time finding more open track time for $70.00 than you will on that day. At this point there are 8 spots left.
|
Bah. My boss is on vaca for the next bit. If I can get my half day approved I'll be there.
|
Please dont take offense guys but I have heard the "Im In" many times before. If you want to come I would love to have you but you need to come up with the cash now. I dont want to get out there and be stuck with a $700.00 bill on my own because people changed their mind at the last minute. The people who pay the $70.00 are in. If we get 8 people who commit and have fun I will do this a few more times through out the summer and fall for a private RX8 day. 2 hours straight track time is plenty trust me lol
|
greg your over thinking this whole tracking thing. just go out and enjoy you'll be fine
|
First thread says $60, is it $60 or $70?
HMMM wonder if my accountant will allow me to write this off...hhmmmm Al what time u leavin for the track. I'm in and will give u the money IF I figure I can make it on time. I'm not arguing your rules or anything, it would kinda suck tho getting stuck behind someone that is not driving as aggressive and or someone on my ass. Personally I hate it when someone is on my ass, I would rather them pass and I try to catch them, less stressful to in case of a bad downshift break whatever. |
I would definitely be in for this, I might just come down now and pay you Al. Looking forward to trying out the new tires on a track, and really going thru the AFE.
Also looking forward the improvements new coils, plugs and plugs wires will add. |

If you dont have to worry about passing rules you wont get stuck, if you catch someone go past them, if they are coming up on you they will go past you. Common sense is the rule of the day. The rule of thumb for being passed on the race track is the faster car pulls offline to pass. The slower stays online and carries on his merry way. With a maximum of 12 cars I really dont think it will be an issue.

Oh i so want to go!!!!! but i cant :(

You. Slow Car. Stay constant speed and no sudden movement! |
AH ok Al...so there is passing, my bad read like there is no passing at all.
IMO I like the passing rule of only on the straight and signal, slow car takes foot off gas, while the other wot. But ya only 12 ppl shouldn't be a prob., use to 20-30 :( 2 hours, own track I'm in...is it $60 or $70? Good thing I won at the Casino hehe... |

josh do you not remember almost rear ending me on the fall cruise? mr slam on brakes while turning sharply hasnt all this track time taught you anything? i was scared shitless you were gonna take me out.
|
Wow tempting!
Do we need to be licensed? Helmets? Open to non-RX8s? Have a friend with a Skyline we may take the drive down for this. edit: just realized that this was a friday and we can't make the drive down for that time :( |
