Alittle more info :)

Hey guys, Planning a Track Day on March 12th, at Talladega Gran Prix. I'm currently working on getting the details from the track owners.

This is supposed to be fun not meant to be competitive!!!

So far I know:
We Need 15 people to make this happen!
Cost-$135 per driver
Everyone must have a helmet.

This is an excellent course for beginners and first time track goers because of it's long runoffs and short straights, 100+ mph. Don't be fooled however, the course is very demanding and requires your full attention at all times. I have not mastered that blasted decreasing radius turn!

Official timings will not take place however drivers are free to time themselves.

Requirements to run TGP are as follows:
1) Long pants and closed toe shoes
2) Snell 95/M2000 or higher rated helmet
3) No loose cabling or car body parts
4) Car numbers (will be assigned day of event if you don't already have some, Painters tape work fine)


$135 will get you a full day of track time and will get you a minimum of 2.5 hours of seat time. Estimated seat time this year will be closer to 3 hours.

A total of 10 spots are currently available.

Those attending need to be at the track no later than 7:00am Central time. Tech inspection will start once the gates are open and the driver's meet will start at 7:45am. *If you miss the driver's meet and/or tech inspection, your track sessions will be delayed until it is taken care of.

[Elbow]

I am for sure down, car will be ready to go.

[swimshark]

very tempting hmmmmmmm.........time to get some new tires on my stockers

[coreylol]

did the price go up?? seems a little steep.

[civic95]

did the price go up?? seems a little steep.

This is the cheapest track day you can get compared to Road Atlanta, or Roebling. I'd sign up but I'll be at Road Atlanta the weekend before for 2 days. I won't have enough time to get new tires, and brakes in between. Sigh...

[scooby_snack]

To go out on a track day on my dad's birthday.... maybe I'll see if he wants to go too.

[swimshark]

its $1500 for a weekday so thats about right. they are pretty cool there at TGPR. just dont do stupid shit and our day will be awesome. they like it when things are organized and makes their day easier.

anyone know a good type of tires to get that would be a 215/60r15 size or in that area? want to get a set of relatively good performance tires to put on my stock wheels for tracking.

[umairejaz]

I'm DOWN!!!! ....but I must say, Friday is the WORST possible day of my week, but I will plan to take it off :P

umair-03 mini S

[Nemesis]

Im 90 percent sure Ill be down, will be contacting a buddy too. But honestly, being the only domestic...meh... lol

[blackonblack]

[Nemesis]

[blackonblack]

[Nemesis]

Cool I got the day of and the day before off work to prep. Cant wait. Is it posted up somewhere on another forum? I dont really recognize any of the names.

[Nemesis]

Question about the run groups guys. I know personally im not going to run for an hour straight...but Id hate to wait 2 hours before I get to run again. Is it possible to have smaller run groups and go for 30 minute sessions? That way we can have cool down periods without having to wait forever?

[UpSideDownDesi]

30 mins can be done. I am not planning on beating on my car for 1hr straight either. Posted on EVOatlanta, here, and rest are friends.

Added to list is another
GkScionTC- TRD Supercharged TC

Looking at the list there are about 15 people down to go, list will be updated with who has paid.

[blackonblack]

yes, Tally is tight and too many cars with drivers posessing various skillsets can be risky for some, challenging for others.

yes, so its 15 people max for that day,

its 3 groups

each group goes for 20 mins... then the next group goes.. etc till each driver gets about 3 hours of driving...

groups are organized depending on power/mods/ of cars...

can't have 600+ awd evos/sti's vs stock civics lol

[Black4DrEK]

So 3 groups of 15 or just straight up only 15 people can attend this "track day" all others just have to be spectating? that sux..I would love to do this but seems like the spots are gonna be full already

[blackonblack]

15 only period :)

[Black4DrEK]

Please also consider the track/racing experience of the drivers in you group selection. I have seen very good drivers in stock civics keep up with much faster cars with average drivers.

yes i will try my best... about the track #'s i was just going to do all of group one, with a 1 , all of group 2 with 2's and all of group 3 with group 3

that way they know when they are up etc

got payment thanks! added to the list as paid!

You Nemesis, and ycmag2282 seem like the most experienced and are prob going to be in the same group :) the evo w/ 600 is his 1st time on the track so prob will be going with stock evo's/sti's and msp3's.. bc its all our 1st times as well lol

but as people start paying up i'll start making groups for sure !

[Nemesis]

We can always switch the groups up too if we notice someone not going as fast or always getting lapped. Its no biggy. This track day is going to be a blast!


Also, do you know if they have a regulation on the loudness of cars?

[blackonblack]

updated page 1 ^ just as long as you don't have open pipes...according to the rules list

anyone wanna open this up to

wrxatlanta.com

i don't have an account :) and i tired creating one and it wouldn't let me ... maybe bc i own a evo hmmm:ninja:

[Mike Lowrey]

Also, do you know if they have a regulation on the loudness of cars?

Yes, loud-ass rustangs are not allowed. :lmfao:

[cycmag2282]

haha. I'm flattered but not sure why I gave the impression I'm an experienced track driver. This will only be my third track day and only second in this car. Still learning the car so I wouldn't put me in the fastest group. Like Mike said, fast car doesn't equal fast driving and I'm definitely one of those cases right now. At least I can admit it though, right? :)

I would't worry too much. I consider myself average. I have around 5 trackdays under my belt. And, Nemisis......well, he is just slower than a snail....j/k

[blackonblack]

lol^ agreed everyone is scared to be in the fast car group LOL the evo doesn't wanna run in there either... i'm like u have full tien suspension and a built 2.4, but he was like its my 1st time on the track, which is understandable but someone has to be in that group i'll work groups out as we go a long and we can change them up as we go if someone doesn't like them or disagrees with them

[Mike Lowrey]

wait... we arent drag racing?

Does your car even go in any other direction except straight? :lmfao:

~runs~

[cycmag2282]

I mean I dont' mind being in the fast group. Worse case scenario is that we have to readjust or something or get passed, right? And ridiculed. Forgot that part :)

Noooooo :( Well hopefully theyll come through!!!!

I would suggest talking to the track folks, sometimes theyll let us still run even though we dont have quite the amount. It never hurts to ask...(or beg lol)

[blackonblack]

^ lol yeah that's not the prob its just who is going to cover the extra cost of the 15 not coming thru lol.. sry don't have deeeeepp pockets lol

[Nemesis]

^ lol yeah that's not the prob its just who is going to cover the extra cost of the 15 not coming thru lol.. sry don't have deeeeepp pockets lol

No , I mean if you have a certain amount of money so far, then tell them how much you have and see if theyll let us go anyways. They might, and its happened before, the owners are reasonable people. Also, I dont mind paying an extra 20 bucks (back up to 150) to go and im sure the people that have already paid dont mind either...hell that means more track time for us.

[blackonblack]

^yeah thats what i'll do i'll talk to them when we have more confirmed or let them know we only have X amt :)

[Okay]

is there still any spot left? If so count me in for sure!

[Mike Lowrey]

[Nemesis]

BUMP! LETS GET THOSE LAST PAID SPOTS PEEPS

[blackonblack]

anyone anyone anyone :) lol

[Nemesis]

I see we got at least 8 people paid, possible to maybe move the track day to 11th and just run it with this many ?

[blackonblack]

if we just get 8 people your looking at almost 190 a person i think thats kinda steep... if we get 10 we are looking at $165 a person.. i think we'll pull thru with 10 at least.... one month away bump! don't want to move the date just yet...lol its the only day i could get off :( sorry...i think some people have also made arrangements for that day..

have a friend with an evo said if he comes he'll bring two more...

and 1stz51- Vette- said he'll pay me soon as well so that'll make it 12

and have a few maybes like desi not knowing if his car is going to be sold or not :).. so i think 'well make it lol

and not sure but guess none of the subbie guys wanna come out and get hurt lol :-P

I would PM all the people on the list that have not paid and see if they are serious. There are alot on the list without payments. They need to shit or get off the pot. lol

[Nemesis]

Yeah you really need to push those people to pay, because theyll wait till the last fucking second. Its a waste of time for those that actually paid up already. Like Rich just said, shit or get off the pot.

Not sure why the SUbaru guys wont go, im sure theyd love to try and smoke me on the track lol

[blackonblack]

^ just pmed everyone.. if they don't get bak to me before tom i'll take em off the list, agreed on what rich said lol

[yudalicious]

FYI my friend and I are very likely to sign up later this month for Friday the 12th, just need to allocate the funds necessary. I know I am almost a lock to sign up unless something extremely out of the ordinary happens.

[blackonblack]

ite^ sounds good just lmk :)

[Nemesis]

No rush, but it would be nice to know by next week since Im about to place my final order of parts to have the car done in time for the track day.

[blackonblack]

[Nemesis]

Id prefer to keep it on the 12th.

[blackonblack]

12th it is :) bump need other spots filled!!!

I think we should get everyone to bring at least some type of food for the day! I know im bringing a small grill, with some burgers ,but if anyone wants to chip in that would be awesome!

[Nemesis]

wow what a pussy.. just drive out the morning of like everyone else.


wtf, I took the days off work , I get paid time off, so why not? Its like 40 bucks and your car isnt heat soaked by the time you get to the track. A couple guys did that last time I went out and we all drank beer, and hung out the night before.


Yeah that totally makes me a pussy. :thinking:

[Nemesis]

[blackonblack]

[cycmag2282]

YAHOO! Now I can get excited! Warm up at VIR this weekend. Anyone here going?

[Nemesis]

Best deal I could get was

70 per night for Two Queen Beds or One King. Just mention you are going for the Track Day on March 12th. (Manager name is Tina)


Its a little on the higher side, but its a nice hotel, not somewhere you think your shit will get jacked or roaches on the floor lol

[Mike Lowrey]

Anyone want to split a room? Lmk. Still trying to decide when I want to head down. Would like to go down the night before. Just don't want to spend that much on a room.

[blackonblack]

^ agree my bro is a travel agent i'll c if we can get a better place at a lower price... i wouldn't mind driving 30 mins to get to the track for a better location and a cheaper price... i have about 5-6 coming... so hopefully we can get a good rate

[Nemesis]

Whiney Ass RWD owner

[Mike Lowrey]

LOL. We shall see. I am not worried about the grouping either. I will most likely have some friends riding along most of the day. Not worried about laptimes, but I am a competetive person.

This will be fun!

[Nemesis]

shotgun ride in the skyline!

[Big Baller]

Ill have to see how the car is going, if its together in time Ill come out and instruct some

[blackonblack]

shotgun ride in the skyline!

i can't wait its my 1st time :)

[cycmag2282]

I'll take passengers. I also have a Traqmate system that I can share with other groups if you guys want to record some actual laptimes and driving data. Competitive by nature, but also very afraid of other drivers by nature, no offense to anyone here.

[coreylol]

are there any openings left?

[UpSideDownDesi]

I'll be there, but not in my car.

http://www.accuweather.com/us/al/munford/36268/forecast-month.asp

Ill be bringing some things with me so maybe we can start a list.

[blackonblack]

^ yeah thats fine... i was planing on bring some hot dogs and all the condiments that go along with it...bread..... ketchup etc... if someone wants to bring plates.. coke and a grill????

[yudalicious]

lol i haven't goten payment from him yet... so not sure what he is talking about....

but 1stz51 is selling his spot if anyone wants to take it!

haha no I didn't pay. I posted earlier about 3 weeks ago and said I was almost a lock to go and would pay when I have money but I honestly forgot I'm moving that weekend so I posted to let you guys know. Good to see all the spots have been filled! I am definitely interested in these weekday events at TGPR, leave in the morning, back by dinner, they're perfect. I'll be back to check the events forum once in awhile. Are there other sites with track day listings in the SE (tgpr, roebling, etc) that you guys would recommend? Thanks.

[cycmag2282]

I would offer a grill but i'm not sure my car as room. I'll bring a cooler and can bring cokes and sodas. how many are we so I have an idea of how much to bring.

[Nemesis]

Im bringing a grill, but its a fairly small one, can probably cook about 3-4 burgers at a time on it.

[Mike Lowrey]

Were we planning on doing a few lead/follow laps in the morning before the first group session? Like with all the cars, just at a low speed so that everyone gets use to the course and track conditions or are we just going to start our individual group sessions after the driver meeting?

I think a couple lead / follow laps would be an excellent idea. Especially for the newer people, they can get their feet wet at low speed and get an idea for driving line, etc.


Also, I will PM everyone going in this thread my cell number a little later tonight.

hey that sounds like a great idea... :) i'll talk to them and see if we can...

i'm pm my cell to everyone going as well... just incase u have any questions

also.... i think we should have listened to weather.com lol not accuweather....

bc accuweather changed to from sunny to cloudy to spotty showers lol.. so i hope it holds up and doesnt' rain :(... weather.com says t -storms.. :(

[Nemesis]

but if you look at percentages, it says 20 percent or less, even on msnweather. I think we are fine, we might see a little wetness in the morning but it should clear up.










The AWD guys should go out first to dry things out lol

[cycmag2282]

yeah I think we'll be fine. It might rain hard for a bit but I think all in all we should have a decent day. Think positive!

[blackonblack]

lol ite.. i'll try to get the final groups up here today so that way we know what order etc.. ! i think we'll be good as well.. i just have really sorry tires on the car they are horrible in the rain... and not so good when dry lol... but i wanted to burn them off before getting a new set.... can't wait... !!!

[Nemesis]
