I have already sent off an email asking if there is a minimum needed from out "club" to get in as a car club.

Anyone want to go on Sunday?

sure...

shocked face

Hopefully the guy will get back to me because paying $25 to get in and then $25 to autocross is a little much.

oh. i didn't know you would have to pay twice...

i dunno if i want to put on my race tires for this as i am saving them for one or two of our club dates left this year.

i would totally go carting. i might hot lap on my street tires...

Yeah without a car club discount you pay to get in and whatever race you wanna do. Car club discount you get in and you get to autocross, but you have to pay for anything else you do it looks like. I asked for an explaination so hopefully I will have more info soon.

Looks really fun! Maybe......

WTF JACKIE! This is the track that I was just at for the SRT Track Experience...GO! I'm going! Lemme know when you get more details Crystal!

thinkin i might like to beat on their CTS-V...

So I am more then likely out for taking my car from this mornings turn of events. As soon as I get info I will let you guys know. I will probably still go to watch if anyone from here goes. I know I could beat on one of there cars but it will just make me sad.

If people are going to come down we can all try to go to like BBW or something afterwards. I would love to have everyone over and hang out here the house is a wreck right now trying to pack up things because my ex is finally coming to get his junk out of the house.

Its supposed to rain.

Sat yes Sun no. Unless its adjusted since yesterday.

Im going to be out fully but as soon as I get info I will pass along.

OK Kidz...
just got off phone with the BLAST people...
Club requirements: three car minimum.
(gotta be at least THREE of us who want to go,, come on peeps)

25$ per person entry to grounds..
This also gives you one free autocross run..

Each event is additional..
So if you wish to run autocross would be 25$ for car, driver, and passenger to particiapte...
If you do not have a car they will supply you with a car.....
But still need three CARS (min) to registar as a club...

Runs from 8AM till 5 PM

Several food vendors avalible all day..

This is a rain or shine event unless major downpour...

They will also have hotlaps avail to those who want to do that..
Basically a 'pro' driver drives balls out in the car you want to ride in...

During the day there willl also be a race with exotic cars...


MUST pre-registar to be able to come as club...


If we need to registar on Fri I do have the guys number,
but he would prefer we registar before Friday.....


I know vagrant is in...
Who else??







..

i'm in. Sunday no rain.

Robby thank you so much for calling them. I truely appreciate it.

I hope you guys can get three to go. I'm so bummed I won't get to go so you guys have extra fun for me and take lots of pics.

Hey,, n/p, Crystal...

When Tom (vagrant) saw this he was like all into doing it...

Basically for car, driver, and passenger is like 75$ to do autocross..
You get to make a few runs plus get to see all the other stuff going on
AND get a show of watching a couple exotics race off on the track...


And it should be a total blast and seriously folks,, this will NOT
hurt your car....

Sorry to see about your car, Crystal...


So far is:
vagrant

Thanks dude.

Thanks Xenon!

I MIGHT be able to get one of my buddies from work to go. He's got a 2010 or 2011 Jeep Wrangler with a lift kit, blacked out wheels, and blacked out headlights. Showed him some of the videos from the SRT Track Experience and he was hooked! I'll ask him tomorrow. That falling through we still need 1 more to go as a club! Common guys/gals!

Whelp, ask my buddy and he's got a bachelor party this weekend so he's out. Boooo...

I'd love to do it. Look for me at the JFD ambulance at the track. Maybe I can race the ambulance? Hmmm..

Would pay money to see that!

Spur of the moment and I decided to go today.. Sorry the last I read of this thread I thought there were others set to go I guess I shoulda checked again.
Anyway I pushed her to the limits today well my limits anyway. Went on the race course and we played follow the leader with 5 cars in my group
The instructor was in a Mercedes AMG
Our group consisted of 2 Cadillac V's a BMW X3 and a vette.
Umm yeah I never thought we would really push it like we did I was expecting a Sunday drive boy was I wrong Every corner I was on the verge of skidding out and on the straights we hit just over 100. I was not expecting that talk about trial by fire anyway here are a couple pics from the track photo guys

That looked like a blast!

yea... what sucks is we backed out cause we just needed one more car to get a car club rate and no one else would said they would go... if we knew you were going we would have had enough...

What ^^ he ^^ said...

I even PM'd Jackie to see about calling her about going to this and got NO reply...
