I also have friends in high places with the AV8SS series. So, I might be able to work something out with them if all else fails.

Howdy,
I'd be up for anything within say 6 hours of Youngstown, OH, assuming my schedule doesn't have a conflict, the car is ready to go, and safety is addressed (corner workers at corners you can't see through and an ambulance on location at a minimum). Mark |

Safety would be covered. No problem there.
AV8SS currently lists this schedule for 2006: March 11/12----------Carolina Motorsports Park April ------------------TBA MAY ------------------TBA June 10/11-------------Putnam Park July 7/8 -Nashville Superspeedway "roval". This is a Fri./ Sat. event and will be run under the lights both nights. August 5/6-------------Beaver Run September 23/24----Gingerman October-----------------TBA Again folks, this is a tentative schedule and is subject to change. |

I'd be up for an track day in the 5-6 hour range of Columbus. I'm planning on going to the National F-body Motorsports Event next year since it is a little later in the year and autocross isn't going to be as high of a priority as is was this past year.

this idea is cool of frrax track calendar... I agree w/ Keith... we should focus on 1-2 days and then if successful, we can expand the amount of days for next year.
I'm upto for a place within 16hrs drive (~1000miles) |

See if we can get one to work out, then go for two, etc. Maybe we can run a calander full one of these days..... For now, I'll settle for getting people to come to one. |

I'm moving to the NY area in 4 months so it's fairly likely I could make one of those days.

My girlfriend and I are moving close to her family, so elmont is the place. I've been looking at jobs out on the Island and Rochester. So we may end up in "the sticks" which I wouldn't be opposed to (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I was up there visiting her family in March and it snowed on me, I went up there in a T shirt and jeans absent mindedly expecting TX weather, I paid for it dearly, NY showed me how it is (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/whip.gif) The car will lag behind me a few months till I find a garage to put it in. But it shouldn't take too long. After driving around up there I'm not sure how my 5 7/8 ride height will fare. edited for spelling This post has been edited by v7guy: Dec 1 2005, 09:13 PM |

I've drive around with 26 1/4 current and had about 25 3/4. Its doable depending where in the state you go. But you might have issues. Sorry to get off track. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)
So where does everyone else want to go!!! :drive: John |

I picked Nelson Ledges, but I would go to most of those tracks. I think most of them are within 8 hours for me (Buffalo). I also know that Nelson Ledges has some relatively cheap track time.

I voted for BeaveRun.
I've not been there yet, but some of my friends rave about it. Nelson is pretty rough. I'd go to SP also, would like to try it out. |

Id be up for beaverun, summit or nelsons, but Im also trying to squeeze in NASA events this year, and I work every other weekend (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) Of course it seems like every NASA event this year is on a weekend I work so i'll be trying to do a lot of switching with collegues but if this event falls in to one of my weeks off Im in for sure. I know of another small private group trying to put together a track day this summer in the same region. I went to their event last year, great group of guys, it was well run but a very small event, like 10-12 cars (at beaverun). Of course the fact that it was small meant we all had to pay a lot but we had a wide open track aaaaall day long. It was great. Let me know if you want to keep it all F-bod or not, if you want I can refer them to this thread and see if they want to chime in. They've already done a great deal of the legwork on this kind of deal, the guy even created his own company (LLC?) for insurance purposes or something to be able to rent tracks with min risk etc. They were looking for a bigger group this year. It would sure cut the costs down a lot if we went for our own track rental vs open track day. Just thinking out loud. Since they've already done a deal with beaverun it would be a piece of cake. You can also just tell me to shut up.

The last post before yours in this thread was actually in 2005....lol. It appears that someone voted in the poll which will pop it back up to the top (which is ok). This never really got off the ground when we last tried it, but we have more members now and I'm always up for giving it another shot if there is enough interest.
Anyone else? |

This would be my choices.
LOL, I guess it is back from the dead. Maybe we can combine it with http://www.race4awish.com/ and raise money for a good cause. |

What kind of experience would be necessary?
Depending on that ^ and money I could possibly be down for Beaverun. |

I'd be up for Beaverun. Any further than that from me is a bit risky. I'll be off every weekend from May to mid August. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thats funny! I never saw the date, but i was thinking there was a similar thread a while back (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Either way, I just got another email from those guys, currently theyre talking about a 2 day track rental at watkins glenn, and they are looking for some more guys.
