As much as I WANT people to attend an official track day like that, it just wont happen in that volume. Its more about the money or schedules and just the way these things seem to work... Just like how we have like one or two BIG local meets a year, then everyone seems to disapear... Its always been like that.
All Lance was trying to do in this thread was drum up some more support. You have absolutely no clue what it takes to set something like this up. If you can't go, then I thank you for your consideration. But please keep the nay saying to yourself.
Also, at the meet on 7/10, we had a very large turnout (15-20). I realize you weren't there, so it wasn't that big, but give us a little more credit.

Have you given the kidney thing any more thought?

Lance, Mike... I feel your pain! We're still trying to get the minimum 30 people out for our event at RF! (We still need about 10 people for Aug 29th!) I'd love to commit to the TH day... but since it's on a Monday, that really puts the reins on me since I just took a new position at work, and I don't know what the work load will be like then. If I can get the time off work, I'll be there...

as much as i'd love to slap on some good pads, get some 17's with good tires, and come out to a track day, i probably will never do that. my car was never meant to be on a track. i didn't buy it with that thought, i didn't modify it with that thought, and i don't have the money to support that kind of hobby. also, it's my only car so it absolutely HAS to fire up every morning and get me to work.
with that said, i'll probably end up coming out there at least once when i get some good brakes and a wheel/tire upgrade.

All you have to do is come once and drive. It doesn't have to turn into a "hoby". Just guys and girls having fun like on sprited mountain road driving. It's not a race and you just go at you own pace mang.
Just a day of fun for about $200.00...that's only $3.27/day for the month of Aug. & Sept. that you would have to save. Starbucks cost more than that!
