HP Autosport · 08-18-2008, 09:42 PM

We will be there all day Sunday.

I think Mr. 5 will be there as well.

MarioKart, are you in?

Ayone else?

satakal · 08-18-2008, 09:52 PM

Is this a beginner friendly event?
Can/will I be provided an instructor all day? Both days?
Who is hosting this event?
Can I get a ride in the LSD'd 335?

I will be there the next week with the LA BMWCCA.

Yes, you can have an instructor with you all day, both days.

Speedventures.com Have a look at their site.

I'll take you for a ride!

I choose to see this excessive question asking as an indication of my "safety first, speed 2nd" on track attitude. Or... I prefer to not see it as being stupid and or needy.

I want this highlighted option. Should I "not be honest" about my lvl of experience so that I can get the instruction I want at the price I want? Basically, I would go back a few pages and select the option for "never been on track before". I think that would open up this option. Thoughts?

Yes, be honest. If you have never been to this track before or have very few track event experiences.

Oh, I didn't say what I meant to say.

I think that, inorder to open up that "grey'd out" option, I would tell the system that I have less driving experience than I really do. So, I'd be dishonest in the safe direction.

I think the system seems me as beginning/intermediate. If I tell the system I'm a beginner, I think it would be a better deal for me. I have zero desire to figure out a new track all by myself. I want/need someone riding passenger helping me get things right before I think about getting fast.

Yes, if chose the beginner option, you may be able to select an instructor for all day.

Wait a second... Mr5 can take noobs for a ride? Doesn't the driver need to be an instructor to take a passenger?

From what I saw of Mr5's autocross times, maybe I should take him for a spin instead. I only got beat by 3/4 sec by Ed in the 535 in comparison to his 4 sec. :-P (no disrespect, just having fun)

I'm totally kidding. No doubt that Mr5 is a great guy.

haha, You guys are funny.
I've been to a couple track events.
One was at Laguna Seca with Formula 4 cars and some other autocross events.
Track driving is much harder than just launching in a straight line.

It's gonna be fun!

Papa13 · 08-21-2008, 02:51 PM

Tried signing up, but for Sunday it says theres no Instructing available?

Is that true? Also, do I need a helmet for this event?

Yes, you will need a helmet.

Email them and see if one can be assigned to you.

Damn! Last time I was there I was the only 335! Still too hot for me...holding out till November.

BlakeB · 08-24-2008, 12:51 AM

this would be my first track event, what do you guys do as far as insurance coverage, as most normal policies exclude track related incidents... are there any by-the-day track insurance?
