Now that we have made a calender how about a track day? I know it sounds crazy but I thought it would be a good suggestion for the future. It would also be an opportunity to have a ti show at the track. |  |  | | 12-20-2005, 04:04 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |

Yeah I know but you gotta admit it would be cool. I live in Iowa so leguna seca isnt really close to me either. | | | | | 12-20-2005, 04:31 AM | #7 | | doesn't care about you. Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 3,925 |

road america is awesome. just be hard to justify driving 16 hours or whatever to get back there  i'm thinking track days posted in the region sections might work the best (and has been done in the past). __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

My dad took his Porsche 911 up there with our old neighbor with a NSX. I didnt go but the video they took was awsome. | | | | | 12-31-2005, 10:58 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Northern IL Posts: 263 |
Good luck getting a day at road america. It costs a ton of money, and they are kinda tough to deal with according to what I hear. Try for a smaller track like Gingerman in Michigan. Thats a great TI track. | | | | | 02-10-2006, 07:02 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Boston MA Posts: 221 |
I guess nobody here cares about a track called New Hampshire International Speedway. I worked at flag stations there for Audi club event last year. __________________

Florida has,
Sebring..$$$ for a track day..last time I think it was 150/car for it, I got to do 4 laps for free last time i was there..so ha!..but great course overall.
Gainesville which is normally 100$/car for the day, not as fun as Sebring, but for the price worth it, and it has a smoother surface in my opinion..well less used surface.
And I think Ocala has a road course now too but I am not sure about it.
I would be up for a SouthEast Meet at Gainseville with Tis and other involved. | | | | | 02-10-2006, 12:58 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |

I did not tracking out against the wall, then I remember a downhill and hard right up a hill. Everytime I went down that hill there was a line of cars waiting to turn. Brakes don't fall me now. All there are a ton of marbles on that banked turn. $150 is not bad. We are $175/day for a much smaller track, Summit Point. And that still doesn't cover our expenses. __________________ ...steven
