Franklin Joseph · 09-03-2011, 09:25 PM

thanks...will do that first thing tuesday morning.

Just hoping she'll be ready for the 24th...waited so long for a track day...sigh.

JerryK73 · 09-03-2011, 11:00 PM

Took my car there to get some bodywork done and I'm very happy with the work they did. Actually have to go back there to get some more work done because someone else scraped my car in a different parking lot AGAIN.

Or just do track day first, and then fix it

rzm3 · 09-03-2011, 11:29 PM

3 weeks to go guys, let's make the magic number of 35

I would hate to cancel after all the work we've put in.

We need 35 to keep the cost where it is. We are only 10 away but there are always the last minute people.......hopefully we have spots for them. I anticipate us filling up within the next 2 weeks. I can't wait.....I'm starting to approach entry ramps like I'm leaving pit row

.............Phil

M3roar · 09-04-2011, 07:34 PM

this is retarded... we need sooo many more people AND we pay more... its not a win win.

Are you sippin' syrup

........we need the numbers to keep the price where it is. So the more we have, the cheaper the thrill ride. Plus you guys are not taking into account that we have the entire track.....no bikes or even members......just us. This exclusive track time isn't free so spread the word and let's get the remaining spots filled..............Phil

rzm3 · 09-05-2011, 01:38 AM

1. This is not paying more. You are paying the same price as last time when we had corner workers.

2. Everyone enjoyed the $150 half-day rate because you were there as my guests. As you may have noticed during the July event, the track has cancelled the half-day $150 rate effective 9/1. The only guest rate is now $300 regardless of how many hours you spend at the track. So, if you'd like to pay $300, be my guest.

3. Many people have suggested that they would like to run with cars of similar experience. The new format allows you to do just that. And as Phil said, we will have the track for 4 complete hours to ourselves. No bikes, no other members, just M-Club.

Wingman335 · 09-06-2011, 08:24 PM

I don't own a M, so I suppose I can't drive. But can I stop by and watch? I have zero track experience, but this sounds like a very fun meet. I would love to come and hang out for a little while, unless the doors are open only for active participants.

You don't have to own an M to drive! Everyone's welcome.

Oh that's great to hear! But am I required to have track insurance and own specific equipment, such as helmets and other safety gear?

What would be the additional fee for having an instructor for a beginner with no track experience?

Thanks for the information, rldzhao!

Antartic · 09-07-2011, 11:15 AM

Wont the warranties be voided if you take your cars to the track, especially with a dealer being present there?

it used to be many many years ago. E36 M3 folks used to hide their names when autoxing.
Now many dealers sponsor track days.
