TGPR Track Day Nov. 10th

[slosean]

I posted this over at solo Atlanta so you guys might have seen but I thought I'd post it here as well.

I’m looking to get a group together for a track day at TGPR on Monday November 10th. We will be using Talladega’s “Street Car Test and Tune” format which allows for a total of 12 cars with 3 on track at a time. The cost is $130 per person. The track would be ours from 8-5. Usually by the time everyone arrives and unloads etc. it’s close to 9:00 AM before the first group is on track. Nine to five, four groups, figure 20 minutes sessions equals a lot of track time. If you’re interested or have any questions shoot me an e-mail: ogburns “at” bellsouth.net. The plan is to use paypal, your payment will secure your spot. For those who may not be familiar with the track check out http://www.tgprace.com/ .

Who are you?

I used to be an avid autocrosser with the ATL SCCA region. I primarily drove a Red Sentra SE-R in STS. I started doing track days about four years ago and the autocrossing kind of fell by the way side. I do mostly NASA events now but have done a few PCA and BMWCCA events as well. I bought a Miata a little over a year ago, a black '94 R model, to replace the SE-R. It's pretty much a track car that I occasionally drive on the street. A friend/neighbor of mine is also a track guy and we are tyring to set up an event at TGPR. Kind of a last event of the year kind of deal. Does that help?

Yep helps alot! Makes it easier knowing a bit about who you're dealing with. Welcome to the site! Be sure to post up in the intro thread with a pic of your car. This is ridiculously tempting. I might be in on this one.

Yep! Don't want to seem rude, it's better to know who you might be dealing with before potentially giving them money. :)

If it wasn't right after SEMA, I'd def go but I'm sure I'll be broke when I get back. :D

No worries, understand.

So far there seems to be a lot of interest but only a few takers. I hope we get enough people!

Sounds interesting. I've done this format before and had like 3+ hrs of track time by the end of the day. It's a KILLER deal for sure! Dunno if i'll have the extra $$$ by then though... we'll see.

I'm interested, but no running car at the moment... Kinda puts a damper on everything.

One issue you may have is that I think some people are signed up for the Road Atlanta pdx event the day before.

It is tough to compete with Road Atlanta.

I am doing the PDX at Road Atlanta right before, so I don't think I can make it :(

Dammit, now I have no clue as to where i'd want to spend my $$$ :(

Where else has the TGP day been posted? Any idea on what other cars have already registered?

So far it's been posted on Miata.net, soloatlanta, and NASA SE. I noticed the Atlanta s2K guys have a day scheduled at TGPR on October 20th that is sold out. It looked as though they had more interest than spots so I may post it over there as well. The mix of cars is pretty diverse at this point: Me (Miata of course), an RX-8, a Mustang, an Audi A4 and a Factory Five Cobra. Only myself and the mustang have previous track experience.
