Hello all.
Well, Santa did alright this year, but he did not bring me the gift for which I really had a huge hankerin'.
I want track time, and I didn't get any. So I plan to fix that deficiency. Then I realized it might be more fun as a group.
So who is interested? I emailed to FastLane school about group discounts and to find out what availability they have in Q1 2010 for either the 2 Day High Performance or the 2 Day Road Racing Experience courses. They will give us 10% off for parties of 5 or more. I have to believe if we get 10 or more, I am likely to be able to get us an even better discount.
I previously inquired and they do allow you to use your own vehicle -- even convertibles -- in the course instead of the school cars, provided your vehicle passes some basic safety inspection points. I have contacted them for confirmation about the big track requirements -- they might require full roll cage for the big track because of insurance reasons, but I will find out for sure. The Streets of Willow are plenty challenging anyway.
So whether it's the Performance or the Road Racing Experience, the normal cost is $1695 using the school provided cars. Driving your own car, it's $950. You can also do what I was planning to do which is use the school car for most of the time and take your own S out for just one session. So who's game?
If you've never done one of these, you need to. Simple as that. If you have done one, then you know how fun it is and you know you want to do it again. Having attended Bondurant, Road Atlanta Driver Training Center, Fast Lane and Petty, I can tell you that FastLane gives darn good bang for the buck and the guys who run it are cool. You get plenty of seat time and have as much fun or get very serious and learn as much as you want. The instructors really want to help you and they know that it's no small chunk of change you are laying down for this weekend, so they tend to make sure you have a good time and want to tell all your friends.
Executive Summary:
Who: You!
What: FastLane Racing School 2 Day course either in your car or theirs. www.raceschool.com
Where: Willow Springs Raceway in scenic Rosamond, CA (Lancaster, ya'll and it ain't scenic!)
How: B*lls out fast.
How much: $1695 (school car) or $950 (your car) group discount of 10% if we get 5 or more committed.
Why: Because life is too short to live it saying, "I wish I took the chance to run this b*** WOT!"
When: Q1 on a weekend (Saturday and Sunday) available dates listed below.
Saturday, January 16 Thru Sunday, January 17
Saturday, February 13 Thru Sunday, February 14
Saturday, March 6 Thru Sunday, March 7
I am presently favoring the Feb dates. IMO this is the best Valentine's weekend anyone could give me.
