I did the first event in Atlanta, and enjoyed it. Doing the second event tomorrow. Great price.

Did you really? Did you feel it was enough track time?

It was my first track day, and I wasn't sure if my car would 'make it' the full 3 sessions on track. Because of that, I did the run/work program. I worked about 2 hours on one of the corners, and got one 20 minute session on-track for $35. I feel that's a great value to someone who's 'not sure' about paying for a full day for one reason or another. Good thing I only did the one session because my pads faded horribly and started grinding by the end of the 20 minutes. Upgraded to Hawk DTC30 fronts now, so I'm doing the full 3x20 sessions tomorrow at Atlanta Motorsports Park.

I think the $150 price is fair for an hour of total track time. All other 'independent' track days at this track are $250+, but obviously for more on-track time.

Looks good to me!

Here in AZ we have NASA and ProAuto Sports. Both charge about $170 for one day (4 x 20min sessions) or $270 for two days (8 x 20min sessions)

I wanted to do the track night last week at thompson speedway in CT, but my car wasn't ready. Seems like an ok deal, for that track I normally pay $250 for 5x20 minute sessions with my local club. Would be cool to go on track around dusk, something out of the ordinary compared to a normal HPDE.

Pretty cool idea and it looks like they have a good selection of tracks across the country.

I'm in Atlanta so it's great having a few extra dates where we have access to Atlanta Motorsports Park. Will likely hit up a few of these over the next three months.

Great for novice, not for advanced/solo guys.

You don't think so? I haven't seen anything to make me think that.

My engine is still not done in my stock car, but when it is I will be going to the next event at Pitt Race to check out the motor. It is a great way to get some track time and not break the bank if you have problems on your first session.

Local scuttlebutt on the first Pitt Race event was very positive. I would like to encourage more events like this.

This is pretty awesome. Another perk I see is you're going out there during the cooler hours of the day which is great too.

I went to the one at NOLA, they put advanced and intermediate guys together with ONE passing zone.

I were not happy.
