Performance Driving School this year?
I've tried this once before and we didn't have enough interest to run this as a group event so I'm going to try it again.
The idea is simple: Register as a group with The Driver's Edge for a 2 day event at motorsports ranch in Cresson (20 minutes outside of FW).
If we have 10 or more participants we get 10% off of the class fee of 275.
Here's a list of the tracks and dates:
http://www.thedriversedge.net/02_tracks.htm
If you're interested in this, please respond here and or PM me with the dates.
If you know of any major conflicts with the dates on the calendar, please post them as well.
Make sure you read this as well.
BTW, everyone is welcome. If you have friends who want to go, invite them. As long as we have at least 10 confirmed people, we'll get the discount.

I am definitely interested; I was signed up for the RX7 club event there, which was cancelled for lack of interest. I know of at least one 3rd gen RX7 owner that is also interested. I recommend you get those guys in on the fun, and it will help us get to 10 people.
I'll have to check my calendar with the dates. Thanks for getting this underway!

I'm that 3rd gen RX-7 owner who is also interested! I was also signed up for a past event that got cancelled due to lack of interest. I'd prefer the April 1-2 event at Texas Motorsport Ranch since it won't be as hot as the July event and I certainly don't want to wait until the later events! However, I'll go when aRX7-7-8 goes...

Well, it looks like we have enough interest to do april 1-2 at least.
I'll contact the driver's edge today or tomorrow and see if they have room for a minimum of 10 people on that date.
We can schedule another one later in the year if there's enough desire to do so.

I know the guys who own/run Apex Driving Academy (http://www.apexdrivingacademy.com) out at Motorsports Ranch. They have the best deal around that I've seen. Keith Verges (very active at the track, including in his turbo Miata) is one of the owners. I could get us a good deal probably (maybe as cheap as $150/day).

i'm planning to visit my grandma in Plano sometime in spring, and may be able to squeeze in the 4/1-4/2 event if I can figure out my itinerary, and how many days I need to take off for the whole visit...
count me as 'possibly interested' for now lol

Just heard back at rick from the driver's edge:
So if we want to do this, we need to sign up ASAP.
Are we still in?
Quick glance looks like we are 70% full at this time, so best thing to do is
have them sign up ASAP, so we can do our best to get them in...
Thanks,
Rick
