I'm looking forward to this too. TGPR is a short track but it's a blast to drive. If you've never had a private day at a track, you're in for a treat. It's a different experience than your usual HPDE event.

It is a 3 hour trip for me. I think it best to make a Friday PM trip. Anyone interested in riding over and getting a room close to the track for one night? I don't think I want to get up at 4:00 AM and go racing all day after driving 3 hours. Yea, I'm definitely going on Friday! I rather be fresh and ready to go on Saturday.

Guys, send me an email to trackday@32vcobra.com, and I will reply with my personal home address.
I am siked, I just got off the phone with 32v, we can't wait.

Guys, I want all of you to think of one thing you want to accomplish on that day. Be realistic in your goals, I mean you can't say you want to outrun 32v or anything .
But, I won't you to sincerely evaluate where you are, and what you need, and that way I can ensure I keep you on-task while there Saturday.
As Steve said, I guarantee you will learn a great deal about yourself and about what you cars can and cannot do.
Now, on a sad note, my car leaves Wednesday, for Chicago. Farewell fair Evo, you leave me a pup to return a wolf.

Okay...I concur...car home in the same condition it goes down in minus some tread is number 1.
2....smooth.......smooth....smooth.....gotta let up on the death grip.
3....work on corner entry downshifts at "don't brake until you see God" speed.
4 ....See what me and the car can do without DSC
Hey Apex, not that it matters, but you know they have a skidpad........

I will be leaving DSC on, after last weeks autox, Ifound out that this car breaks away faster than I thought. It might have been due to very thin tread, but it was quick. I will be leaving DSC on. See rule number 1.

It's not possible to have one goal :D
1. Have more fun than I've ever had in my life!
2. Learn where to start a turn and where to hit the apex.
3. Wear my tires out! Hopefully there will not be any ice for the trip home.
4. Have more fun than I've ever had in my life!

^^I forgot that you are still a track virgin. We should make you wear the big *** pants i bought for RA, since I forgot long pants. The horror storeis should start up right about now, try to get you all psyched out.
It will be a ton of fun.
Back to work...damn thread.

You have a lot more experience with the car, and as we all know are a very good driver. I am still learning. I dont have a lot of experience with catching the car. Usually a little correction does put the car back on line. Maybe I will try a fw with it off once I get comfy onthe track.
I may also get you to ride with me a bit TA, since you know the car pretty good.

It is my intent to leave the DSC and TCS off during the entire event unless someone tells me otherwise. I'd like to learn from the start how the car handles so I do not have to retrain myself later.
