Speed Ventures
So Speed Ventures is going to hold an event in April at COTA. I know this is a California based company so Im not familiar with them. I get nervous about running with a new group because i don't wanna put my car or myself in danger because of reckless drivers.
The Texas run groups are pretty good, organized and don't really mess with crazy drivers. And the 99% of the drivers are super courteous here Anyone have experience with this group? How many sessions do they run per day, are they organized, flaggers do their job, classroom sessions, etc Thanks in advance |

I've done plenty of track days with that organization. Very legit and professional.
The quality of the drivers depends on the drivers in your area and those that attend. SV will do their best to move people around to different groups based on driver level, but when you register it's up to the driver to pick the correct group. Are you sure COTA doesn't supply the corner workers? SV usually has classroom sessions and provides instructors. Expect 4-5 20min sessions like most other organizers. We have tons of track day organizers out here in SoCal and SV is at the top of my list. Few months ago I was with a different group and we had winds at the track. Wind took one of the organizers tents and planted it on the hood of my car. Dented the hood pretty bad. Organizer should have secured the tent....

I might just add, while COTA is normally expensive, if I read it right their prices are insane ($600/day)! If it is your first time there I would shop around before signing up with them first... plenty of clubs drive there at about 2/3 to almost 1/2 of what they are charging... that said turns 2-10 and 12-19 are a blast! The rest is hp dependent. But then again who knows maybe prices went up to help pay for the wall in 2017.

This will be my fourth time at COTA and maybe last time. I've had to pay ~ 500 each time. its definitely a place where's boys with more expensive toys come out: semi trailers, Porsche cup cars, Ferrari challenge cars, McLaren's, m4 GTS, etc. lots of eye candy anyway, i might be moving to California soon so I thought this is a great opportunity to see what my future hpde group might be like.
