Maybe it's time to visit the brother in law down in Austin, maybe.

Wasn't going to try and sign up to view a price. Seems like a decent price to get on that track.

OkieSnuffBox · 09-25-2015, 07:00 AM

Would be so amazing, but $600/day + travel/gas/consumables.......damn.

Sleepless · 09-26-2015, 01:44 AM

I went this year, it was worth every penny

Up to you, but I am doing this because I want to be able to drive on an active F1/WEC track.

Only other way for me to do this is to go to Europe or Japan... and the cost of airfare will be more than this event alone.

Bring boost.. I keep hearing how boring this place is for a stockish slow car like the FRS/BRZ (and my track cars).

I looked on the site and couldn't find an easy answer. What's the format for this org? That is, how many run groups, how long are the sessions, and how much total track time per day?

Most track hosts have 20 minute sessions, and anywhere from 4 to 6 run groups as classified by skill level.

Typical results would look like this:

As for how much track time, if you run all sessions you should get about 100 minutes worth of driving. Sometimes at the end of the day, sessions are combined if they start thinning out.
