I remember that....me and the older fella with the 90's T-bird came up to the hair pin with the marshall waving the flags like a wild man. We parked up top on the shoulder till they helped clear up the mess. I think that's one of my worst fears on that track, as there are points where you might quickly come up on debris and/or another car with no where to go. Glad the only thing hurt there was the car....remember seeing you out helping sweep up the debris!Quote:

Received this from Ryan this morning:
Infinite Motorsports will be hosting the event for us this year. I have driven with the fine folks at Infinite Motorsports and I can attest to the extremely high event quality. This event will be held on July 1, 2019 along with in classroom instruction by Ross Bentley (of Speed Secrets fame!). Lunch will also be provided. The event will be open to all makes.

went to the website - "intermediate an advanced drivers only" sounds like it may count out many of us here :(Quote:

Unfortunate, but more budget for lapping days at TMP.
I would pay this price just for the knowledge and experience I'm considering the BMW school this summer just waiting to for dates for track days here and the PITL auto cross schedule - Don, are lapping days open to all, and is there some sort of guidance for guys to get started...?Quote:

Same guys are usually open to having someone ride shotgun on their sessions. It’s usually a very relaxed atmosphere with no pressure to push the car more than you are comfortable with.
What Don said. And to elaborate a little, we have also eliminated passing in the Rookie group. The reasoning was that it eliminated an often stressful manoeuvre for some the rookies, and allowed them to concentrate more on their driving. The feedback has been nothing but positive since that rule was implemented. We encouraged new drivers to do a drive through, if they were feeling pressured on the track or the pace was to quick. The drive through was just leaving the track at pit road to allow the back to go by, then joining in behind them.Quote:
