Team Continental - ORP - Oct 3rd
 
Anyone planning on going to TC's HPDE in October. Would love to see some fellow 86-ers there...

I'll be at NWAA ORP day on September 21st and the AROO PIR track day on October 24th. There is usually a good showing of 86ers at the AROO day.

Yeah, I'm going to be at ORP weather permitting.

I think we missed each other last time around, as were in different groups.

I wonder if SirBobbinHood will be there this time, too.

I wish I could go again. My wife and I are going on a cruise at the end of September so we'll be out of monies for another track day. Which is really too bad because I now have tires and brakes on the car that would make it great to see what they've done.

I will probably attend a club event during September and might be able to make it to this one too if weather cooperates

No worries...enjoy the cruise...there will be other opportunities.


I may go to PIR on the 21st, also, but I think I will have no tires left if I go to both events.

I got a huge chunk of metal through one of mine and decided to get a complete new set. I got Michelin Pilot Super Sports installed with a warranty from Discount Tires for $740 not a bad price and the tires make the car feel great. When you burn through the stock ones I'd recommend them.

Sad to say, this event has been canceled...shame, really...

i was bummed to learn of this too.. any other track days that are affordable in the near future??

e1_griego 09-16-2015 05:42 PM

Alfa club is $150 until Oct. 12. I think it's on the 24th but I'd have to look it up to confirm.

paiceyfan 09-16-2015 06:10 PM

Monday 21st Sept, NWAA does ORP, but most groups are full with a waiting list, but cheap day @ $125

ORP is definitely the more technical track with all its off and on camber and elevation changes and some of them all together and then blind! Am very much a group C rider on motorcycles. Next year will likely be back on one.

The Ridge is still my favorite track on a motorcycle so far.

PIR scares the hell out of me..turn 1 is no joke..I have crashed my first time ever on a track day, on the first out lap from the pits going into turn 1 there..crashed at 80 mph lol

Anyways, Doug helped me with changing out my brake pads (Project Mu 800 HC+) and fluid (type200) last night. 720 form wheels with brand new RE71r tires will be going on by the weekend to get the car track ready for Monday! looking to be a dry weekend out there..can't wait!!

I will be on my 2nd track day and stock, so go easy on me! 😀

I'll try to remember the AROO day. As long as my Vegas trip a couple weeks before doesn't make me broke, I'll see if I can attend.

I am a slow driver..ask @Decay107 ...i granny shift and rarely go over the speed limit :P

Seriously though, its gonna be my first one ever in a car and first one in over two years. plus don't think i'll be driving with track day insurance, so i'll be taking it pretty darn easy lols
