no catch, i was @ the track last weekend for fall nationals and they we're handing out flyers for this event....1 of the coordinators i spoke to told me they're doing this to generate more interest and racers to the road course. Every cars free and u'll be running in 10min sessions, 10 on then off and so fourth.

No problem I am always forgetting that the wifey has a helmet too. Large helmet too. I guess old age is setting in on me early.

I'm curious how well people drive at a free track day with no instructors.

My luck I'd get swiped by the idiot who doesn't know HPDE

Im pretty sure there are LOTS of limitations.

The free track day advertisement is just to get people through the door.

Im sure the disappointment is happening right now LOL.

One limitation, no passing. Just think of it as a free road course guide lol.

Today is a day for people to get to know the course. You could say that, the speed junkies fliers and stuff for this event is like a huge advertisement for Racewaypark.


The course is fun, I was in 2nd most of the time in my fc. The changes in elevation would scare a noobie, espicially the drop at turn 9. The sudden weight transfer made my tires locked up two times from that turn...
