PST meet at MSR end of August

[Shneegle]

@PST would like to host a meet at their location. We have settled on Saturday, August 29th. Performance SpeedTech is located at Motorsport Ranch in Cresson which is a track for those that don't know.

Location:
215 Performance Lane Building I
Cresson, TX 76035

We are currently working on setting everything up for this meet. Have an idea or comment post it here and we can get things worked out for this.

This is a meet at PST with a possible track event. The meet will start at 10am. Track event will not start till ~2pm. This means from 10-12 possibly even 10-2p shop tours will happen and people can get rides in the PST BRZ track car at full speed

UPDATE FROM PST!!!
Times updated Lunch and Shop rides are still tentatively scheduled.
1. Shop tours and rides in our BRZ around track
2. Lunch
3. Mini HPDE ("focus day")

~10:00-12:00 Shop tours and rides around the track in our BRZ at full speed

12:00-1:00 Lunch

2:00-2:25 Class Orientation
2:30-2:45 Track Lead/Follow
2:45-3:10 Class Basic Handling
3:15-3:30 Track Lead/Follow
3:30-3:55 Class Track Etiquette/Safety

4:30-4:50 Track "Fast" run group
4:50-5:10 Track "Faster" run group
5:10-5:30 Track "Fast" run group
5:30-5:50 Track "Faster" run group

The cost for the focus day will be $95/driver (that's the track's fees, not ours). Helmet and suit will be required for all participants (including riders). They can be rented from the track for $10 each, or $16 for both. (Shameless plug, we sell both suits and helmets!) So yes, even if you've never been on track before, you can get two hours of instruction and two sessions for $111.

It's a member day on the 3.1 CCW. We will be racing on the 1.7 CCW course. Which is why a suit is required.

1)Driftz

[jph11]

Track time =)

[14stu]

I plan on attending, I'm looking forward to meeting the PST guys.

[Jonsey]

I got all excited and then realized that's the one weekend I am on vacation this year, what a bummer. I was hoping to convince Dave to get the car out on track with me for some fun!

[GSpeed]

We'll definitely throw the doors open for you guys! It's a member day on the 3.1 CCW, so we'll reach out to the track management and see if we could do some lead/follow stuff on track for those of you who haven't been on track before.

If anyone has any ideas or requests, feel free to hit us up.

[Driftz]

I would like to attend this
Please keep us informed especially if we can get track time

[jph11]

Either track time or at least a ride along in you guys' car at speed around the track would be pretty sweet

[GSpeed]

Alright, I like those ideas. Totally doable. We can break this up into three parts:

1. Shop tours and rides in our BRZ around track
2. Lunch
3. Mini HPDE ("focus day")

Tentative Schedule:

10:00-12:00 Shop tours and rides around the track in our BRZ at full speed

12:00-1:00 Lunch

1:00-1:30 Class Orientation
1:45-2:00 Track Lead/Follow
2:15-2:45 Class Basic Handling
3:00-3:15 Track Lead/Follow
3:30-4:00 Class Track Etiquette/Safety

5:00-5:20 Track "Fast" run group
5:30-5:50 Track "Faster" run group
6:00-6:20 Track "Fast" run group
6:30-6:50 Track "Faster" run group

The cost for the focus day will be $95/driver (that's the track's fees, not ours). Helmet and suit will be required for all participants (including riders). They can be rented from the track for $10 each, or $16 for both. (Shameless plug, we sell both suits and helmets!) So yes, even if you've never been on track before, you can get two hours of instruction and two sessions for $111.

If anyone wants to participate in the focus day, please contact either myself or @Shneegle so we can get a head count. The more people that participate, the more we can offer.

I've never known a suit to be required for an HPDE or anything similar at MSR. Why the requirement now?

Super interested in this none the less. I'll be sure to mark my calendar.

It's a requirement for member days, or any other event where the corner stations are unmanned. There will be rescue on site, of course, but not necessarily at every corner.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for clarifying.

[Jonsey]

For any of you who are considering doing this and haven't been to the track before, this is a great opportunity. The cost of this event is well below typical HPDEs, and I have a feeling you will be getting some very good instruction. Very sad to miss this.


If the interest is large for ride alongs and you won't have enough time to get them all out in your car, I wouldn't mind Bryan taking people out in mine. I will be out of town that weekend and we can arrange to have it out there.

Within the next week or two we'll have to get a signup list going for the mini-HPDE. We'll have to make sure we've got enough cars coming to justify it. If we can get 10 cars signed up, that would probably be enough.
