Interest in Track Day

[PewterWS7]

I would like to get enough people together that we could rent a track for a day. I will get in contact with Gainesville and Valdosta. I made a call to Valdosta and they are going to be outragous. First he told me 1200 but then i asked about timers and what not and he was thinking the price would go way up. :wtfgun: Hell Norwalk Raceway Park in Ohio is only 800 for a day with track personel.
Anyways wanted to get some feed back. If we do this ill try and help organize as much as i can but i may need some help.

Dunno where u got the $800 Norwalk figure, we looked at renting nowalk before. It can only be done durnin the week and very small car counts.

Beech Bend Bowling Green, KY is $1500 plus $420 for workers and ambulance. So thats right at $2k without VHT.

$1200 for Valdosta isn't to bad, I would guess it will be close to $2k with the lights and track workers. But with 25 cars thats only $80 a car. So $80 to play all day and no waiting. Its way worth it!

Im definatly going to look into Valdosta better. Gainesville was also outragous. 1000 for 5 cars plus 200 a car after that.
Any other local tracks.

Albany is like $1k but its only 1/8 mile.

I really like this idea, think of it like this. We have been paying $60 for 2 dyno pulls. Why not spend a little more and have a unlimited test day. At our #ford track rentals we usally get a ton of runs in. I know a certain v6 rental mustang made 32 passes in 1 day. hehe

Last time i went to a Norwalk track day it cost me 35 dollars and i made 37 runs with cool down time. Granted that time it was a little disorganized but i think we can pull it off.

Outrageous? Gainesville is a world-class facility. Do some research on ls1tech, this has been / is being discussed.

Edit: Search on these forums also, we have discussed a track day with another club down in south florida. I can't speak for everyone but with anything north of $40-$50 a person I think you're going to have problems finding people willing to pay.

osw? its $213 a car with a minimum of 5 cars, im sure they could do better if there were more cars.

Badrap used to get together with SFFBA and have a track day about once every 6 months at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Tamparacing has one about every 3 months. I don't think I ever paid more than $35, most of the time less. There was usually between 30-50 cars.

yeah i think that they are a little outragous for what we would want.
1000 for the first 5 pluss 200 each additional.
hell for 30 cars it would be $6000.

Shit $80 bux for a full day of no waiting and non stop racing count me in.

Think about it. You're trying to rent a major NHRA facility for a small group of cars from a no-name club. How is it surprising that it isn't cheap?

Hey we have a name. :flip2:

you would have to get money from everyone up front for it to work. at least 3 weeks in advance i would think to be safe.

That poor V-6 :lol:
