sorry westopher but this hopefully can be "the" enthusiast trackday/autox thread on RS
with that said.. anyone else signed up for the sept 8 TSSxFFD track day at The Ridge? Still a number of spots left. A lot of people originally indicated they'd go but havent paid even after it was announced that deposits were being accepted... I think people did that to add to their online credibility that they track their car.. :
and before anyone adds, here are the standard excuses for people who say they'll go then dont:
"cant get a day off" (date was announced a month ago)
"need to install XXX" (date was announced a month ago)
"i cant win" (true story... and huh?)
miss a few autox days due to myself being away and now that i'm back i am itching to get back into the last few events.
sucks for me that i'm an independent contractor and all of my big pay day jobs are on the weekends….
Mission is a great track if you just want to boot around for a bit or to shake the car down.. I still get tempted by Mission days for the reasons you mentioned above!
^^ This.
Mission is no PR or Ridge, but for the exact reasons that slowguy has cited, it is still a great track in its own ways. Especially for car shakedown, there is a bit of everything in the mix -- decent length sweepers in T2 and T3, set of linked turns in T4 - T6. Chicane / off-set gate type of turn at T7, and the increasing radius turn out of T8 / T9. The only thing that I am not a fan of are the concrete walls...

Sign up! We can run together in the red group.
I must be an idiot because I can't find where to register
If I get my WCB check before registration deadline ends and family isn't coming in on that weekend, I'll go
I wish my day wasn't cut short at the ridge. I felt like I was really learning a lot, and picking up the confidence (and pace) as the day went on. Then the monsoon rains hit and I got a little squirrely.
hmm i feel the opposite.. the car fish tailed more but i enjoyed it a lot more when the downpour hit
work + subsequent income from work has a higher priority than a track day IMHO. lol
in any case, for track days there's actually quite a bit on weekdays =)
hence my low attendance at HPDE events
my original plan of attack is to attend at least a dozen session of autox, really master the handling of the car before getting my feet wet at track days (not the mention track day is more $$$) wish clubs could host more weekday autox events...
Has anybody been to Oregon Raceway Park? How is it? Looks like it's a brand new or recently renovated facility and it's only an hour further away from me than The Ridge.

My goal was to hit all 4 of the closest tracks this year but unfortunately the car trouble got in the way of that. Financially I just couldn't do a big trip to orp. Can't wait to head out there next year.

ORP looks awesome!! dying to try it and The Ridge. Becoming a parent last month and smashing up the ITR didn't really help my chances for tracking this year. LOL!
Next year though, I should be ready to hit up PR, Ridge and ORP. Road trips FTW!!

What if I told you there's a 2 for deal at ORP coming up in a month and a half? You and dared3vil0 sign up together and come tear shit up (with no worries about hitting anything)
