The price will not change. It costs a little more so we can offer more track time to folks. Other events are a little cheaper, but you get nowhere near the track time nor the top notch instruction offered here.

Guys (those who are iffy about attending) this is a great deal. The amount of track time alone is more than worth it, plus add in the amount of instruction one could/can and should get and this deal is amazing. I don't look at this as a "I get to run an autocross" but more like an "I get to learn how to drive for me and my car". It's a great opportunity to learn about you and your car, without worrying about accidents or tickets. I know I'm rambling... but this is really a great deal and chance to learn. BTW, I'm seriously trying to get off from work to do this... someone may owe me a dinner.

Damn, I really want to do this, however I have two problems...I can't seem to find that boost leak without a dyno to put a load on the wheels (long story), and I don't think I will actually fit in my car with a helmet on, can we have the sunroof open? lol

Good question! I wonder if a helmet will fit this big ole head w/hair of mine and if it will clear the roof! Guess I'll go to the mall and try on some helmets... do the Danica thingy and put my hair up hah!!!

Yeah Greg, that's why I'm so adamant about getting really low seat rails, so I can finally run my car on the track someday. Do tha Danica thang! lol

Wait a minute, they have helmets at the mall???

Here's the deal folks, Just got back from the MSCCNC meeting. There's going to be 10 national level instructors at this event. You'll get at least 12 runs during the day. Lunch is paid for. For the price you can't afford to miss this.

Take the seat cushion out and remove part of it. I'm sure if you dig around you can find a howto, it's not very hard. You don't need full boost. More power than you know how to deal with becomes a hinderance for beginners when the wheels aren't pointed straight.

How about a half-day at reduced price? Warning: you might as well bring the rest of the entry fee because you won't be able to stay away.

We will also admit owners with non-Mazdas if you have a friend that is interested.

I thought that I would mention that one of them is female (who probably has more trophies than most of the males) if there are any ladies on here interested (paging PerkyStina) or some of the guys want to try and convince their wives/significant others to come and join in the fun and learn.

You guys that are twiddling your fingers trying to decide if you should come are missing out on a really great opportunity.

Not that this is necessarily an entirely accurate comparison but look at how much a McKamey Evolution school costs: $200 and they have a 6:1 student to instructor ratio.

Our school is only $55-60 at this point in time and we have a 4:1 (or 2:1 if you count assignment to drivers in their run group) student to instructor ratio.

Regards,

Well I'll look at doing that, but right now I'm broke as a joke so I'll have to wait til the 15th unless I can get some cash from someone before then. And I'm getting about 10psi through most gears so I'm good. It was never really about boost, more about the embarrasment of my car screaming, haha.
