Good morning, Happy New Year to everyone. Hope your sanity survived another day Don. ;)
Ross has been working on me since the early fall which brings me to sharing with everyone we are aiming to do one track day this year. Target is for mid to later June (likely a Thursday), of course details pending what I can arrange with TMP. Format for the day would be a copy of what we did last year. Thank you again to Stephen for agreeing to stay on board as well.

What do I need from you

- sign up early. Confirms you really do care if this continues year after year.
- we could use more volunteers to flag during the day. No specific amount of time required. An hour or so be great, a couple of sessions in a row be appreciate just as much.

I don't have anything else to share right now, more details soon as I have them.

BREAKING NEWS

It's official, we have firmed up with TMP for Thursday June 20th.

Volunteers to help with flagging be appreciated, same with hope everyone will sign up early (takes a bunch of stress off us).

This is the time to put your money where your mouth is….

Every year many push for a track day but few step up early as they want to wait and see. What is not being considered is that Rick and Ross are committed to pay for the day (rain or shine).

For those who already ponied up, thank you for supporting the most fun day ever (even if it rains).

For those who are trying to wait it out…

Please consider what I mentioned above and understand adding the additional stress onto the very people who are trying to organize a good time for EVERYONE is not the way to show gratitude and support.

Gary, I don’t remember what is in your fleet currently, but would one of them be good to make the drive here and back along with ripping around the track? Or you just don’t want to take the chance?

Drive the Bullitt. I will be perfect on the road and the track.

Definitely, I didn’t think Gary still had that one. It will be great on track and a comfy drive to and from.

Hi Ed, I wanted to bring the Cobra R for a spin on the track.

fast Ed
02-19-2024, 10:23 PM
That would definitely be cool to see. The Bullitt would be less of a handful though, and quicker probably.

Don’t listen to him. Bring the R!

Talk about people stepping up (thank you to all), we are a little over 90% sold out.
If your looking to attend, best to let me know soon.

ZR

UPDATE


Response to this years track day has been amazing, we are currently at capacity. My sincere thanks to each and every person who stepped up early.
Where does that leave those not registered but would like to attend, we are doing a standby list. Almost all track days there is a person or three that have a last minute situation come up and can't go leaving a spot open. If you'd like to be added to the standby list please shoot me a pm, happy to let you know if a spot becomes available.

I just looked up the invoice, got these back in 2017. G-Loc R10’s. Not sure how many lapping days I got out of them, but gotta be at least 8.


:facepalm:

Another stellar track day! Thanks to TMC and all the organizers!
Hot as hell, but otherwise beautiful. Thanks to last night’s rain, a few lakes and ponds to avoid, made it interesting. No major incidents as far as I saw.

Despite neglecting the car all winter, it ran strong and reliably. Had so much fun!
And a few old faces have not seen in many a year.

If you went to Track Day and didn’t put on any sunscreen, you might be a red neck. Hell, even if you did put on sunscreen you might still be a red neck. What a great day.

Gabe

Spectacular day, some hiccups for me but made the best of it and it turned into an epic day of its own.
Thanks to Rick, Ross, Stephen, Ross’ girlfriend (my apologies for not knowing her name).
You guys run a spectacular event, consider myself lucky to be able to be apart of it

FABMAN

Another great track day! I can’t explain how much I enjoy these days. Always nice to see familiar faces and great to see some I haven’t seen for a very long time.

Thanks again to Rick, Ross and Katrinka for organizing. Thank you Stephen for bringing and helping flag. Both my friend T and I had a great time, just wish I brought sunscreen…LOL

Thanks to all that came. Was a great day. Probably the best group of well behaved guys we've had ever. No trouble makers.
Wish it was a tad bit cooler but all in all a great one.

Thanks to RRK, for putting on the event!! Car ran really well even in the sweltering heat, was really feeling the heat while loading the car up... lots of laps to be had out there by all, turned out to be a fantastic outing!

Like others have mentioned, great to see familiar and old familiar faces once again!
