May 15th trackday at Blackhawk Farms

Anyone coming next Wednesday to Blackhawk? I will be there as a coach. Last month there were 2 other frs/brz besides mine. Looking forward to meeting more guys from this site.

I highly recommend this track day. Great instructor(Andy) and technical track. Only 1-2 novice students per instructor. Lots of track time (The last session was 30 minutes- watch your fuel gauge!) and lunch included.

Never been to Blackhawk. I'm kinda thinking of about this.. Anyone know if we can pay day of? The $200+ price tag is kind of steering me away.

I'm not selling here, just informing.

You will get a minimum of 2 classroom sessions and a minimum of 2 sessions with an instructor riding along in your car. 5-6 sessions on track totalling about 2 hours with you driving as well as the possibility of your instructor taking you out in his car in faster groups. Lunch. and a great group of guys.

The last sessions of the day are usually only a few cars, as everyone is usually exhausted and driving home with a big goofy grin on their face.

If you are in the intermediate or fast run group you can still request an instructor to ride along to help you get familiar to the quirks of the track.

Andy, I'm planning at least 1 track day at Blackhawk Farms this season. I've had you instruct (briefly) last summer at Blackhawk farms, and would like some more instructions from you specifically. When I sign up, can I request you as an instructor or should I find you on the track day? (I'll probably be running in the intermediate group again)

i would LOVE to come to black hawk and pay for a session and kick it with some fellow frs brz owners.

I can make time possibly any time throughout the week this summer... I have never hit up Blackhawk or any track for that matter. Just got the brz 2 weeks ago to be my new drift track car.
cheers

Blackhawk Farms is a stellar track for these cars. Very technical with reasonable straights. I hope to make it out this summer yet if budget allows
