Track Weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park - June 1st-2nd - $295 w/ instructor - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

redcelica · 03-21-2013, 06:28 PM

Hello from your resident S2000 friend :happy0180:

Carolina Regional Mustang Club (CRMC), is hosting their 13th annual Performance Driving School the first weekend in June.

Mark you calendars, as this is a fantastic event for all track junkies.

Please go to CRMC Performance Driving School for more information and to register.

Run groups are assigned by the Driving School Team, and based on the information provided during registration.

Group D is for Novices that have never attended a HPDE type of track event, or Novices with only a couple of Autocross's. and includes "exercises" to teach you about threshold braking and the handling characteristics of your vehicle. This group has very limited passing, as a top speed limited by your instructor.

Group C is for the individual with a few events under their belt, but are still learning the finer points.

Group B is for intermediate to advanced individuals with many events, or those that have been signed off to drive solo.

Not much difference between B and C except there are more solo drivers in B, and less slower vehicles in B.

Group A is for Advanced drivers and the instructors, and those who brought race cars. Passing is not highly controlled, but supposedly all drivers are predictable. I would not recommend this group unless you know you fit.

Can I perform the pre-event tech inspection myself?
Yes, if you are competent, just enter "self inspected" for the name of the shop.

Hope to see y'all there

'Initial - D' we shall call my group!

$295 is a pretty good deal.

I'm doing a track day at CMP tomorrow (5/11) for $250 + $100 for instructor. I may get in on this one too.

sonnydelight · 05-10-2013, 03:45 PM

I also want to add that this event is $295 for TWO days. I paid $350 for 1 day with their private club tomorrow.

Would be cool to compare times between our cars

I'm down!

BTW, any fun roads in Raleigh-Durham area? I'm up there for work from time to time. May try to coordinate it with a VIR track day or something.

redcelica · 05-11-2013, 12:44 AM

Beaver Dam Rd is about all I've been on that's worth a damn...it's pretty flat and straight around here with nothing but looping right hand on ramps

Come on out to a meet though

redcelica · 06-03-2013, 11:36 PM

What a FAWKIN BLAST MAN...I had some issues this year, but I wouldn't trade the summation of them for 1 hour of this weekend. Such an awesome time. Vids and track data coming soon...for now, here's some pics

Arrived at the glamorous Ramada Limited motel

Bug killaz

Pool has furniture in it...but no water :ponder:

Look at those sexy socks

At least this one didnt have bed bugs!

Breakfast of champions

Zero fawks given by Will this day

Running out of brake! These were BRAND NEW when I started the weekend.

Star specs held up really well though

This is what 8 sessions at CMP looks like on your rear brakes

Annnd almost ran out of gas AGAIN!

Unfortunately...no twins out there

Was hoping to get to run with a FRS or two.

Dave-ROR · 06-04-2013, 12:26 AM

CMP is a fun track

Stevo22 · 06-04-2013, 08:50 AM

I wanted to come, but I waited to late and the event was already full. Maybe next time.
