Harris Hill Question.

Is the course open to non-members? Do they allow single day "memberships" as to allow a single 4hr session? I'd like to take on a roadcourse but i can't afford the 900 dollar starting fee and 1500 dollar security deposit required for membership. on top of that... the 90 dollars a month, tires, etc, etc... just an open question.

Various car clubs hold Driver Education events out there all the time.
For $150-$200 you get a bunch of track time with an instructor in the car
with you.

Check the track's website (http://harrishillroad.com)
for their calendar...

Hey Rotary_Guy...I am in New Braunfels and have been on the lookout for a good local track too. Harris Hill seems to be more of a facility for the non-casual tracker. Bummer...since it os SO close.

I am thinking that the Driveway Austin facility might be a better fit and is what I am looking into. They have a driving school for various skill levels that I am thinking of enrolling in. $295 for a road racing class...6 hours long 60% of which is in your car...after you take the class you have to log 10 short course practice sessions and then do a check-out drive...then you are qualified to run the short course. The website does not mention any deposits...just track fees for 20 minute blocks of the different courses.

I am waiting to see if the guys would let me tag along for the Valentines Day drive of the sisters. Hopefully it won't ruffle any feathers and I will be welcome. Are you going to attend that drive?

Who is organizing that drive? I have not heard. H2R's website sucks, they need to update events.

Looks like Grungepup is sending out the feelers right now. Not sure if its a solid go or not.
