Got a couple weeks still but who else is going to T-hill West Oct 29 with Exclusive Track Days?


I'll be in group C and wouldn't mind getting some tips from more experienced drivers (this is only my 2nd track day)

I've never heard of Exclusive Track Days. Have you gone through them for your first track event? Any feedback on them? I've went with NCRC and Trackmasters. Both at T-Hill East. My 3rd track event will be on Oct 30 at Leganua Seca with NCRC.

They haven't been around as long as the others, but so far, have put on well-organized and safe events. They also limit the car-count, so you end up with tons of seat time. We've run some 86Cup events with them before too, with no issues.

Go on YouTube and learn the lines. It's a super fun track and really made for Lowe powered cars like ours. You're going to have a blast. 😊

My first day was there too and I think it was a great place to get my feet wet. Hope to clean a lot up this time around.

I have not, but as @mkivsoopra stated they have a fairly good reputation so far. Plus you get 7 sessions for the same or less then most orgs charge for 5 session. And seat time is what I'm after so it seems like a good option

Is gaggle the official term? What do we call a large gathering of twins? I feel like this has been discussed already lol

There was one RS guy who was selling his spot a couple of weeks ago but I believe that's been picked up relatively quickly since it was a group B spot. Have you contacted them? Sometimes groups have wait lists and they can connect you when someone wants to cancel.
