I have a membership at Area 27 (www.area27.ca) and we are thinking about a couple of dates for hosting a track day this year.
The idea is to have a pretty laid back event – we’ll have the whole day so no need to feel pressured to go too fast too quick. For those who have driven the track before, hold a current race license or have completed an ASN approved driving school, there will be an ‘Advanced’ group. For those who are new to the track and don’t hold one of those qualifications we will start off a little slower with some instruction and ‘follow the leader’ to get everyone up to speed safely first, and then move on to open lapping later in the day.
The event will be open to VelocityAP invited customers & guests only, not to the general public. We expect a mix of Astons, Mclarens, Jags, Audis & Lambos, reflective of our customer base. We are located in a very nice part of the world, with over 400 wineries in the valley and a warm, dry climate. It would be very easy to combine with a short driving holiday and some wine touring:
Potential Dates:
August 30th
September 23rd
September 29th
October 3rd
If you could indicate your interest and what dates you might be able to attend that would be great. We are looking for some indication on interest before committing to a date.
With my own car and gas, thats a **** ton of money for one day on the track, even with the "catered lunch"!
Not really. When you add up the cost of track hire, marshals, insurance, instructor for those who are new, and staff to just generally help coordinate. We're just trying to see if we can run this as a break-even operation to provide a fun experience for our customers in an exclusive un-crowded environment.
