TracQuest May 15-16 Watkins Glen
TracQuest July 3-4 VIR
NASA July 28-30 VIR

NASA Nov 10 Lime Rock

Don't have dates, but my guess would be these dates.

MADS June 15-16? VIR Not sure about the date VIR
Porsch club End of Aug -No locked in dates Watkins Glen
BMW Mid September VIR

Now lets hope this new track car can make this season!!

 

ill catch up with ya on some of those events..

 

how much does tracquest charge per day? never heard of them.
i will hit lime rock and pocono in 2006 definitely. and i want to do watkings glen too (that is on my wish list).
but i race with PDA; i like how they have "time trials" portion so there is more of a competition aspect.

 

Hope to do more than 4/5 events in 2006. These links are helpful...

Tracquest (AKA Chin motorsports) isn't cheap. 650 for two day, but you get about 4 hrs of track time a day. It's open sessions!

It's well worth the money IMO

 

I'm really going to try and make it to Summit this year. Wanna give me some instruction Pat:P

 

Matt,

Summit is..well Summit. If you're going to one event this year I would do the NASA, or Tracquest event at VIR

Did you buy a new car Pat?

 

Im bringing my van down to Danville.

 

Yep! I sold my car to fritz and picked up a new one. I wanted a non sunroof model so I bought one.

The new car is going through a rebuild.

The car now has a BBK, Coilovers, new dual oil coolers, Apexi RX6 turbo, M2 large IC, and a ton of other goodies! Should be a terror next year at the track if I can get all the parts installed over the winter!


I better see you!

 

Dave, I better see that FD on the track! You already fucked up the front fender

 

Damn that sounds awesome Pat.. you gotta take me for a ride when its done.
My wife told me I could either buy a new bike or car parts for the 7 this winter.... The bike won.

 

Yea I guess it wouldn't matter much aside from that I just fixed it! No such thing as guard rail..

 

If I go to WGI, i'll probably do a trackmasters event, because i'm looking for a check-off for their "open track" group... they haven't published a 2006 schedule, but there's generally an event in May. (I usually run their September event in advance of the Vintage racing festival).

Pat, we should definately link up on a couple trips down to VIR though, I only got there once this year.... I'd like to see that track car you're building too!

Pete

 

I went to VIR yesterday, They did the Holiday laps again this year. For $25 cash or food or toys you got a 30 min session led by a pace car. They let us run a t a pretty good clip I reached 125 on the front strech. I also had my 75 year old dad in the car with me.

He was real quiet. I asked "Dad are you scared" I waited for his reply "Hell No see how how fast we can get it to"

Ill never forget this

 

I'm definitely interested. I still need to get my damn water injection operating properly first though. Any aquamists gurus in the NJ area?

 

Pic from yesterday

I can't say how soon my car will be ready to hit the road course, but I will hopefully be able to get it out there this year. I've been to Summit twice with my bike, so I will probably do an event there because I know that track, but I hear VIR is pretty nice. Maybe I can hit both this year.

 

I am saving this. I may print it out and tape it somewhere you can see it...

 

I will try to get myself to one or more of these events. I track my 944 Turbo, but have been itching to get the RX7 out on the track too. Is this the best tread to follow what events people are planning?
