pfoyle Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Just got an email about a Wicked Big Track Day at Thompson Speedway August 24th... who all is going?! Seems like it should be a good time, and at $295 for 4 x 20min track sessions, a reasonable expense. Need to check my schedule (aka ask my girl if I'm on the hook for anything that day), but otherwise think I'm gonna go for it! Who's with me?! Should we start a new thread for this?

Would love to see some other LGTs there... c'mon fellas, get involved! Maybe Ian will even have a working car by then?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JermTheElf Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 What kind of course is it? What top speed is it looking like? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 the road course. top speed should be pretty good, but i really don't know I'm just guessing by looking at the track on google maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfoyle Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 What kind of course is it? What top speed is it looking like? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk They said it will be on the road course, which from their website looks like a 1.5 or 1.7 mile course with a reasonably long (maybe ~1/2mile) straightaway... should be well over 100mph on the straight, and the course also runs through their banked oval track, so should be some high speed cornering as well.

Ellesedil Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 My wife, who bought the WBM tickets from last year, got this email earlier this week and forwarded it to me. I definitely don't have the funds to hit the track, nor do I have them to buy anything from the vendors. But I missed the meeting up and caravan down. So, I'm contemplating if I want to go to WBM2.

JermTheElf Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ooof. Poor college student pushing his DD on a road course? Frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrw Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 From what I've been told, most of the track can be done around highway speeds. Much more on that straight that leads into a tight corner. Make sure your brakes are in good condition. This is all 2nd and 3rd hand info so YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ooof. Poor college student pushing his DD on a road course? Frightening. I will likely be pushing my de round that thar track. Tho Iay just go and spend some money on vendors instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
