Instructors will be out there free of charge :)

$125 to drive in this event and we will limit the event to 30 drivers.

More track time than any other driving event.

Thanks
Sam

[94cc0rd]

niceeee.. i want to try a grip event some time.. hopefully ill have money and time for this event :)

[azndummie]

Same here i want to try a good drift/grip mix.

[SRT Motorsports]

Bump, Hope to see you guys out there :)

[gotta240]

how dangerous is this course for newb/middle line drivers?

[SRT Motorsports]

Its not as scary as some people say it to be. You have all day to get familiar with the course and where you feel comfortable drifting. I run the course in a way that its mostly uphill, so gravity is also helping you slow down in case of a mess up :)

Just confirmed a pro rally driver to make it to our event. He will be driving his Evo 6 and drifting the course for practice. This should be really fun to watch.

[KA24DESOneThree]

A hearty "welcome back" to my favorite trackday providers!

I am SO signed up and paid for.

Horsethief is great for all drivers of all skill levels who possess a moderate amount of common sense. It is very technical and thus a truly memorable learning experience.

Everyone who is a member of SRT's track days is a great dude/chick. I've never had anything short of a blast at any of them.

[SRT Motorsports]

I cant believe you told everyone that I was a dude chick, it was our secret :)

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE ME FEEL UGLY??

[brainfood]

Heya Sam, glad to see you are hosting events again at WSIR. I am going to try to make it but all depends on if my rack is still locking at full counter when I test/tune on the 30th if the car is good I will be out there but I am not a big fan of htm with a steering rack that locks up :)

[KA24DESOneThree]

cmon, it's not that gross....how do you think steve is always ready?

:ugh:

Why you gotta air my dirty laundry like that?

Bryan, you were at HTM last time I was there... you gotta be there this time. We can all be a close-knit group and make s'mores, tell ghost stories and stuff.

Seriously though, I'm totally psyched about this track day. I haven't been to the track since SRT's last outing and I'm just itching to get back up to speed. If it rains I'm going to laugh and have tons o' fun.

[brainfood]

Hell if there will be smore's then I am there for sure!!! I want to go and as long as my new car is sorted somewhat I will be there.

[SRT Motorsports]

I hope it rains :) I will not shut down this event even if it snows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KA24DESOneThree]

I hope it rains :) I will not shut down this event even if it snows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it snows, I'm totally stuffing the car into an embankment for the hell of it.

Or not. But the Evos will have an unfair advantage...

[brainfood]

I think I am going to go, if the steering rack is still locking up at full lock I will just do grip or I will bring out the Fit, been meaning to get the Fit on the track anyways.

[cfrost]

http://srtmotorsports.com/srttrackdays/calendar.html

[SRT Motorsports]

I did a count and we have room for about 14 more drivers, Please sign up soon before we run out of spots. I hate to take in more than planned, it cheats time away from drivers who paid 3 months in advance.

Thanks Everyone,
Sam

[SRT Motorsports]

10 more spots available :)

[SRT Motorsports]

9 spots are left :)

[brainfood]

Was going to sign up today but my paycheck wont be in till after new years, damn holiday and payroll screwing me.

[SRT Motorsports]

I think that we will still have some spots available :) People seem to all be signing up last minute.

[brainfood]

Reg'd and pay'd!

[KA24DESOneThree]

have fun doods

[KA24DESOneThree]

Interestingly enough, it's the Inn of Lancaster.

New shit on the car, ready to dice with the Evos. Keeping it all under wraps until I unveil them.

I may do some grip, you can show me the lines :)

[KA24DESOneThree]

I don't think I'm that good yet, but I sure as hell appreciate the compliment!

A buddy of mine with an Elise is now signed up, which means I'll be doing my best to represent the Nissan contingent as far as grip goes.

This event has the makings of a great one.

Edit: Hey Colin or Sam, a M2000-rated helmet works, right? My brother signed up and we need to figure out his helmet setup. I have a track helmet for my car and I have a brand-new motorcycle helmet I can use if it's allowed.

[SRT Motorsports]

That helmut will be ok :) The Hotel was the Inn of Lancaster :) If you guys have trouble finding the place give me a call.


We need more drifters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brainfood]

From O.C. and L.A. 5 to the 14 all the way there

[KA24DESOneThree]

I'm staying at the Inn of Lancaster along with a few of my friends and my brother. You'll know when we get there; I'm running a 3" catback on an NA KA and my friend's Elise has a track pipe.

We're probably going to take the 15N to 91W to the 71N to the 57N to the 210W to the 5N to the 14N because we're a little inland. It's not as convoluted as it seems but I'm not really sure about the traffic situation. Seems like it'd be hell.

There's also the possibility of taking the 15N to the 138W anyway, and they have signs for a detour posted. That adds another 15-30 minutes but is easily navigable. This too would be hell on a Friday night.

There is also th option of what Bryan said. 5N to the 14N... simplifies things.

I'm really not looking forward to the drive up there Friday night. I hate traffic with a passion that burns like the fire of a thousand suns.

[gotta240]

last question- What is a better/safer course....HONESTLY


Horse theif mile or The streets of willow? Still deciding what i want to do... Can anyone compare the courses?

[cfrost]

it kind of depends on how you drive your car, if you're pushing your limits they're both dangerous, but if you drive smart and work your way up to your limits at a comfortable and smart rate, then they're both okay.

horsethief is slower for the most part than streets of willow, there's only a couple corners that are fast and a bit more dangerous

again...it depends on how you drive it.

they're both a blast IMO but horsethief is one that people seem to come off of giggling because it's lots of fun

[KA24DESOneThree]

Neither is better than the other. Neither are particularly unsafe. The word is "course."

Horsethief is like your favorite mountain/canyon road minus the 300-foot drops and guardrails. However, it still has those totally awesome berms and ditches so you still have to drive like someone with skill.

The Streets, on the other hand, is like a right proper racetrack. It's got longer straights, wider turns, and that badass banked corner known as the Bowl. It also has a blind entrance to a chicane which is fantastic.

I come away from Horsethief with a big smile on my face but the Streets with more knowledge.

[gotta240]

Thanks! From what other people have said, the STreets of Willow has gravel or dirt pits around most of the corners that are a little rough, but won't do and serious damage..

Does horsethief have walls? When you say "berms and ditches"...are these types of ditches ones that slow your car down and rip off aero, or the types of ditches that you hit and flip over 3 times?

Again, sorry for needing things spelled out. Either way i will be attending one of the two next week, but i'm slightly concerned about the car as it is NOT my track slut and is a dd. Thanks for any time/opinions.

My car is a DD and so was my old car, I've run HTM lots of times and pushed very hard at a competition there. But this is drift and not grip. I think if you are a smart driver there are no problems. If your going to wreck on htm you will most likely wreck on streets. Just be safe and smart and there is no problem. There is over run on both tracks and there are unsafe turns on both tracks.

[SRT Motorsports]

+1


Anyone else signing up????????

Hello,there is no walls at HTM that I know of,just do like FROSTY said and work your speed up,if this is your first time on track,dont go out and try to set a lap record the first time out. A good idea is hook up with somebody that knows the way around and follow them.If you do go off yea, bye bye kit, depending on how low you are.

BRAINFOOD- Im gonna run the S13

[SRT Motorsports]

Any of you guys have myspace???

[SRT Motorsports]

[brainfood]

Frosty mentioned maybe mixing it up for us drifting and needing practice the other way? Come on Sam you know you want to :)

[SRT Motorsports]

If we all agree, then I am fine with it. I just dont want anyone making any mistakes and start heading the wrong way.

[SRT Motorsports]

BTW Lets get some more drivers!!!!! Make your friends join too

[brainfood]

BTW Lets get some more drivers!!!!! Make your friends join too

Cool I am fine running either way but would prefer clockwise.
I have been pimping you guys out like a 3 dollar whore, everyone is broke from the holidays or has a broken car :(

[SRT Motorsports]

Almost track day and still have room!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gotta240]

I just went to register online and it said "online registration closed"...wtf?

Are there any good GRIP/RACING instructors there or are there only drifters?

Mostly grip drivers there, us drifters are just the redheaded step children.

[cfrost]

lots of fun.hopefully I can have the new motor in before the march event :hsdance:

[brainfood]

Great event! Thanks a lot guys. Anyone who missed it, more track time than you could ask for. I drove so much!!! Its rare when 80% of people leave early because they have already gotten more track time then they expected. It was a great event and everyone who missed it, missed out.

[hitman]

too bad im sad

[SRT Motorsports]

Bump for March 3rd :)

nice vid! great turn linking!

[brainfood]

nice vid! great turn linking!

Thanks first time with the new car on a real track. Still needs lots of setup but feeling pretty good. I was linking the that whole section and then down through the shickane and onto the straightaway consistently by the end of the day.

[KA24DESOneThree]

Everyone who didn't go should be ashamed of themselves. I am ashamed that I only got half a day in.

CW is almost as fun as CCW.

[DriftSpecS14]

I <3 SRT TRACK DAYS!

sickest event ever.. sad to say i had to leave early :( cant wait for the next one
