Mid-Ohio 6/10/13
 
Didn't see an event section so I figured I'd post this here...


Was planning on running Putnam pretty much all year since I feel 'safe' there but the group that I have run with there in the past (Torqued Racing) are helping put on an event at Mid-Ohio for a great price so I'm not going to pass up on the opportunity to run such an awesome track!

So far three friends and I have signed up, just thought I'd spread the word for anyone that might be interested. Only bad part is that it is on a Monday. Here's the info...

ITR Expo?

My friend Brad Adams went last year with his EG. Might have to sneak the Scion in if the funds are there then lol.

I'll be instructing with Auto Interests and ITR Expo. Hopefully have an FR-S by then.

Tell Brad that Austin with the s2k and Miata wants to take him out back and rough him up - the kinky way

Thanks, I'll have to check my calendar, I've been wanting to get to Mid-Ohio badly.

You instruct with Expo before? Don't know your screenname. Just trying to match the name and a face :) I might make the drive up to WMHM this year instead of flying up. I'm assuming you'll be there :thumbup:

Damn I was hoping that would be near lexington instead of in C-bus.

Dakota Steve's it is again for MO :)

Yup, I instructed at Mid-Ohio this year. Names Austin. I also have been using the account we set up for when we become a vendor (GTM_Challenge). This is the car I was in at Expo last year:

Selling this Miata currently...I should be picking up my FR-S by the end of the week!

I'll be at WMHM as well. Hoping to have someone drive my car out so I can trailer the other toy. :)

bakerr6 02-18-2013 07:42 PM

I'll try to be there. I may be switching jobs (will find out hopefully tomorrow, as I hate working sundays and I like making more money haha)

bakerr6 02-18-2013 07:44 PM

btw, if I go, I will be looking to have an instructor ride with me. It's not because I haven't been there or done an HPDE yet, but because I'm not used to driving agile rwd cars (mainly FI muscle cars). I'd rather learn how to take proper lines instead of powering through corners.

swift996 02-18-2013 08:57 PM

I'm finalizing my travel plans, but will register this week. I've always wanted to do Mid-Ohio.

:thumbup: didn't realize it was you with a different username :)

If I fly up instead I'll drive it over to GMan.

that could certainly be arranged :party0030:

swift996 05-28-2013 10:27 PM

My car is all prepped, is a SA2005 helmet sufficient?

It should be as it would expire in 2015.

Have you already registered? They only have 5 intermediate and 5 advanced spots left as of this AM.

Dave-ROR 05-31-2013 02:16 PM

Austin, while you are there would you mind mentioning ITR Expo to people? We need more registrants :)

Sure thing! :thumbsup:

trippinbillies40 05-31-2013 04:04 PM

Anyone know what instructor pricing is for this event?

I might be able to make it up, but my girlfriend might be having surgery that day that would cause me to miss it.

I know they were looking for more experienced instructors, especially those with experience at Mid-Ohio. :thumbsup:

Me and my friend with his S2k will probly sign up for ITR Expo if we like the track, which shouldn't be an issue lol. Just sucks it's during the week, makes it more difficult.

Yeah, Mid Ohio is pretty hard to get on the weekends unfortunately :(

If you make it, you'll enjoy the enjoy I'm sure :thumbup:

I just drove Mid-Ohio in iRacing the other day and loved it. I think the technical nature of the track (especially T7-14) will really suit the FRS/BRZ.

GTM_Challenge 06-01-2013 05:59 PM

Mid Ohio is a great track, just not very forgiving :/

This...

awesome track but you need to be focused and slowly explore the limits. There are spots where a mistake can be VERY costly.

Ah, won't be there. I help run the ITR expo event which is two days t mid Ohio in sept for $395 including a catered banquet one of the nights :) so basically $125 more than auto interests event but includes another day for a bunch more seat time, event tshirt, good dinner one night. Austin (gtm) will be at my event also. It's sept 9-10 in case you are interested.

I registered March or April for novice. Thanks to OP for the heads up. Working in retail means that weekends belong to the company.

Gotcha! There's a chance I may be able to be your instructor. That'd be fun!

Scooter Style 06-06-2013 12:47 PM

I just contacted them and I might be instructing. So hope to see you guys there.

Looks like there might be some rain from the early forecast.
