The driving and vehicle dynamics test track is a road course facility designed and built specifically with a mix of different types of curves, corners, intersections, and straight-aways.

This first Test & Tune event will have two sessions: Session A is from 8am to 12 noon and the cost is $30.00. Session B is from 1pm to 5pm and the cost is $30.00. All day costs $50.00. Crew and Spectators are $5.00 each.

The morning and afternoon course will differ and offer challenges to both inexperienced and veteran drivers.

will try to get crew to go from here, why don't they do it at night? might be less than a 1000*C [hot] definitely go for the am session. are these solo runs vs. clock? or others on track simultaneously? lmk.

 

There are no times at the Test and Tune. It is basically a chance for guys to setup their cars for the normal Auto-X events. Gainsville is a very cool track with the proper tires and suspension. I will probably be out there either driving an STi or my buddys RX-7. Hope to see some of you guys out there as there are hardly ever any RX-7's out there on race days.

yeah id def. go for the Am session .. I have been twice.. really fun .. you cant get crazy on the course.. theres nowhere to inflict any damage to the cars unlike the thread where the tree jumped out infront of the 350Z......... being a saturday .. anyone intrested in a get together /bbq/cruise/what ever.. after wards?

 

aaight if there is shade provided and or water facilities.

 

Well shade is limited.., most people bring a pop up tent.. and there is a concession stand but i wouldnt buy anythign from them ..
its like 3 bucks for a bottle of water.. (a small bottle of water)
Hey rob i finally tinkered around with my Ac.. the problem was with the rear wiper fuse..
now it works fine.. finally .. its too damn hot over here..

 

How many runs would one get per session? Will there be cones set up or just a empty road course?

-Todd

-I think I answered my questions, its just all up to how many show up that day. Just like the test and tune drag strip. Maybe ill be there also. Jack, Tom, Eddie they around anymore?

 

Depending on the amount of people. Last time they got like 6-8 runs, and several probably more. There are cones set up. It's sick though..

 

Here is a pic of the track/road couse
what they do is just put cones at the intersections and then change the cones in the afternoon .. they might change the starting position which also changes thing up ..




Jack/ Jake u guys goin got make it out there if it isnt 1000 degrees?

 

anyone??

 

Rori, they are holding me and my car hostage here, [pending sale] don't want to do pm session, so burn down the track for me, had a nice simpson helmet and neck collar ready to use[for looks].
