Track Day **Update**
Okay, im sick of you whingers complaining about not organising a cruise..
So after talking at length with chellys dad at her after party (while my gf was getting wasted with chelly), We discussed having a track day.. and he said a decent track was about $4000 for a day.... now work that out:
10 FTOs = $400 ea
20 FTOs = $200 ea
Now as much as i would love a track day, $400 is way too much, So what im suggesting is we buddy up with another club... Mr Chelly said he goes out with the BMW club and they are great...
What im suggesting is we approach BMW Club and ask them if 10 or so of us joined them on their next track day.
That way we could get costs down to about $100 ea.... which is very affordable..
We obviously would have to share the track with a few beemers but maybe we could show em a thing or two!
Opinions?

Re: Track Day
Sounds like fun, however,i dont understand your math, how exactly did you come to 100 bucks, wouldn't that mean 40 cars in total??Samson wrote:Okay, im sick of you whingers complaining about not organising a cruise..

i'm sure we can come to an agreement of some sort.... how about... we dont waste the drinking time, and just drink all through out it, and let the gfs do the wrestling, and as for chick memebers... i'm sorry but it's a fair world so u r not allowed to wrestle either, u'll just have to bring a sister/mother/female friend (since its everyone's gfs thats goign to be wrestling, we should make it fair and say it's a single sex event) along so they can take your place. lol
and we'll make it that for every memember that shows there is someone wrestling for them, so for the ppl that dont have gfs or have gfs that wont do it (if they wont do it, then u might have to think about upgrading to a more willing and better trained gf anyway lol jk jk), u have to bring along another chick that will wrestle for you.
then Dr_Jones will be looking at the photos ans kicking himself for not going
T_T' man i really should go to bed soon...
i'm so glad that the gf isnt here right now lol
*note to self: dont show her this when drunk... or sober*

I'd be up for a track day. I agree it would be easier and probably cheaper during the week but I know I would needs months of notice to get the time off. I'm sure others are probably in the same boat.
On the cost front it would depend on how many laps. For a couple of sessions I'd probably only want to pay $200 at the most but I wouldn't mind paying more than this if it meant a lot more time on track.
To throw something else in the ring (not the mud wrestling one j/k). I had thought about something people used to talk about on the forums a couple of years ago. Somebody used to run racing schools where you would spend time on the drag strip and the track at willowbank over a day or two. Can anybody remember this, or who did it? If someone has done it how did you find it? Don't forget some professional training can score you major points with your insurance company especially if it includes some defensive training.
