Kafka cant get the time off work...................hee hee I can make sure of that! Anyway he doesnt have the big bucks to come out to the track he is too busy partying with the boys.....er girls.
I am going to charge $70.00 up front and then i will refund $10.00 once we get the 12th person. The track costs $325.00 per hour plus taxes.

nate makes a good point here. I think three weekends in a row will be a little overkill on the car, and my wallet. So im making a choice. Im going out to the dunneville one with togue on the 3rd i think. Anyone else going to that one? i know marc and someone else had expressed interest in it. Im going to be prepaying for that one by the end of the week (its a better deal if you prepay, but you risk it raining and its not refundable...tough choice).

Thanks for offering this up Al, and i feel like a typical bailer douche for being all gung hoe about going and now im bailing.

No worries Greg, its been like that for most of rx8club and rx7club...its just that not everyone has tons of time and money...and they need to make tough decisions.

I am still waiting for a Ferrari owner who loves rotary and join us while giving sponsorship of his/her company to Al's race cars lolz

Al said he will put any stickers on the car with sponsorship haha

I did express interest, but honestly for you Greg being even newer to this than I, you will have more fun, and feel safer going with 12 ppl around a track compared to 20-30 as Togue did to me last year. I almost punch someone out I was so pissed, demanding an instructor they wouldn't give me and threw me on the track, with no fukin clue and no way to back out, having a guy screaming at you GO GO GO!! I won't be going to that Togue. Maybe if Al has a little time and feels like being nice for once :-o jk he will be able to go around with you. U definitely want an instructor first time to the track!!!

I'm up for this Al either or, but May 1st would be my preference.

okay, marc you make a really good point. Now i dont know what to do. lol. I dont want to keep flip flopping and changing my mind. Maybe i should just hold out until the mazdas at mosport thing and see how i like that (im sure the pace will be more relaxed) then go out later in the season for some lapping days....unless Al or someone else will go around the track with me at this event but thats really not what he/they will be there for so i dont want to bother them...Damnit. i dont know what i want to do now and the clock is ticking!

Right now I have 4 confirmed race cars, all of which are doing the same thing I am doing, breaking in an engine or doing endurance testing.

Ya u do just come to this one Honestly with only 12 ppl, it will probably be one of the safest (knock on wood hehe) lapping days we can have. Jump in for a few laps with someone (me if you like) have a few rounds to get the feel and I will go around with a few laps with you. Once you get the idea and kinda feel of wtf is going on, night a day difference, then just start practicing at your own pace and you won't have ppl being dumbasses (togue) on your ***, since it's a small group. Up to you! When we hit Mosport you will be laughing.
