MISFITS: sebring track day discussion/planning


jody called saturday and said you guys want to do a track day here. I have never organized one myself but I tried back in '03--cost came out to be around $300/person with 40 people. putting one of these together is a major undertaking, and I don't mind looking into it, but if we don't have at least 40 definites it's not worth it.

who all is interested? what is everyone's experience level?

Sounds good to me, I think the 23rd of December would be a great day.

Looked at the other thread ... I can't do it, but it appears doable at ~ $300. per ... someone's got to be the organizer, grouping entrants by skill level ... if it's a HPDE format, there's class time and instructors ... they usually get in free, so their cost has to be underwritten by student entrants.
If it is not structured in HPDE format, then run groups and track rules still have to be established ... and then there's tech and safety checks ...prolly about a third to a half of the entrants can legitimately be put in "Advanced" or solo group(s). For Novice and Intermediate, if no one in the "right seat" then drivers's gotta hope that those on the track with them stay in control and don't swap paint or car parts ...
NASA SE has an excellent instructional program, that is being leveraged by the NCM HPDE at CMP end Oct (instructional format and instructors). Some of the key folks are regular posters on the other site, so I expect them to step up to the mike.
You Misfits ... have yourselves an early Christmas!
