wpmarky Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 They have free ones usually available to borrow, you just give them your license. I don't think they do an inspection of helmets, your safety is in your own hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 ^^ Nice dude! So I did some digging around and discovered that TrackMasters Racing ended up losing a bid for Infineon the weekend of 5/31-6/1, and now SpeedVentures is now organizing the event that weekend. That's why registration was never opened on TMR's site (derp). That being said, info about the HPDE can be found on SV's site here, and registration is now open. http://www.speedventures.com It looks like there is already an Ariel Atom and a 2010 ZR1 signed up for that day =D Cost is $290 (103db sound max on track). It is on the higher side for track days, but you're pretty much paying for 1) zero chance of rain, and 2) the closeness lets you do a day trip instead of needing a hotel like Thunderhill or Buttonwillow. So, given that price, who's still down to go? Anyone turned off by the price? FWIW, I emailed SV and asked them for a group discount. We'll see what they come back with.

wpmarky Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Ok, I'll keep an eye on the groupings to make sure they don't fill up to fast. Don't register quite yet until I hear back about my group rate request. SV has done it for me and my friends before, hopefully they can hook it up.

GTEASER Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 So for those who want to just come up to meet up and hang out in the pits with those driving, I am assuming that they will have no problem getting in and hanging out, right? And for those of us driving, when are we going to finalize a date so we can start signing up? Registration is open as of now, and as a newb, I am going for the minimum driving instruction for $15 for a small group lead/follow for the first 2 sessions. Also getting timing transponder so I can see my improvement over the course of the day.

Chris GTO TT Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'd skip the transponder all it will do is make you worry about something that isn't important on your first track day. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 i've never had a problem bringing guests, sometimes there's a $5 gate entry fee per car and sometimes they don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 at $290 not sure I want to drive. Would still be interested in hanging out for the day / riding along though. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedz Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah $290 is pretty steep for me right now. :/ I might show up and hang out if I can though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 update: The owner of SV replied back and said a discount is doable. He's also looking into some options for us such as possibly free timing and/or instruction. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 If it has to be on the 31-1 weekend, then I'd much prefer the 1st. I have run (my only track day) with speed ventures and I can honestly say they run a great event. Low key enough to relax and have fun but serious enough to always be on schedule and know they mean business. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo2701 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 def in for the 1st and whatever the price ends up being so let us know i think my friend that helped build my car is coming with his b5 s4 with gt35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedz Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Yeah with given that I was told yesterday I may start my ambulance portion of my internship out in San Joaquin county in the next 30 days... I'll come hang if I have it off. Been itching for a track day though. See how well my oil cooler does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
