I have a question out to the organizer about helmet availability/cost and instructor cost. I know they have (and require for first timers) instructors, I'm just not sure if there's an additional cost yet. I'd like to get a count of how many folks need helmet and/or instructor and also track experience. You don't need to have any prior experience, it just helps us setup the run groups. This list below is folks who have expressed interest from here and FB. I'll send everyone the contact info for registration as soon as we have an idea of how many. Your name below doesn't mean you've committed or anything. If you're not on the list and want to be, let me know!

I've never tracked at that course before, so I will most likely need an instructor. I have a couple helmets here, so I will most likely not need a rental. I'll try them on to see if they fit (so I could actually bring them for others if need be). Might as well put me down as a yes to instructor, no to helmet.

The Fall HPDE Track Day Season
Since I'm blowing up the thread with track-related posts, I'll just keep being a post-whore....
I never would have gotten to the track if @Juggles hadn't done this in here before. If you're interested in getting track time, here are the local events for the rest of the year. The prices I'm quoting below are as of today and assume you have your membership already (I think they're about 50 bucks at each place for one year) and have done your first track day (usually 10-25 bucks one time). I'm not including auto-X in this list, but if someone knows and wants to post that, awesome. These are all HPDE events in Arizona - I didn't include Buttonwillow or Chuckwalla. www.nasaaz.com www.proautosports.com OCTOBER 4th and 5th Saturday and Sunday - Pro Autosports - Wild Horse Pass East - $250 for both days or $150 each day 11th and 12th Saturday and Sunday - NASA - Inde Motorsports Ranch, Wilcox - $250 for both days or $150 each day - this event also has a $100 drift practice day on Sunday NOVEMBER 1st and 2nd Saturday and Sunday - Pro Autosports - Wild Horse Pass West - $250 for both days or $150 for each day 8th Saturday - Porsche Club of America (AZ86 invitation with Ferrari, BMW and Audi clubs. Contact @kavanagh) - Wild Horse Pass West - $150 15th Saturday - Pro Autosports - Arizona Motorsports Park - $150 28th-30th Friday, Saturday and Sunday - Pro Autosports - Wild Horse Pass East - I don't have pricing for this yet since it's the whole Thanksgiving weekend including Friday. My guess would be $350 for all three days, $250 for two and $150 for one. DECEMBER 13th Saturday - Pro Autosports - Wild Horse Pass West - I don't have pricing, but probably $150 |

Great! I'll update when I'm not mobile. DE1 means you've never been on a track, and DE4 means you're basically a race car driver. DE2 means you've done a day or two and DE3 means your kind of a regular but not an uber racer yet. |

DE2 and I have a helmet. Perhaps we should get a Google Doc spreadsheet going for this to track everything

I've never tracked anything but up and down some mountains a few times.
I've been a professional driver and avid off-roader or more years than I can remember. I know how to drive and would love some instruction. Money sucks for us, the wife is still out of work. More than likely I can't afford what this might cost, but I really want to do it. Please keep me informed.
