The date has been set and the track reserved! We are hosting an open track day at the challenging Horsethief Mile course at Willow Springs International Raceway, on December 1st, a Saturday. This is not a timed event or a competition. This is an opportunity to drive your car on a real track as fast as you're comfortable, without the worries of traffic, cops, or curbs.
There will be three run groups: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Regardless of your run group you will have 2 and a half hours of track time. Beginners are not allowed to have passengers for the first half of the day; all other run groups can have passengers. There will be no passing allowed for the beginner group. All other groups must have a "point-by" and pass in a safe manner. As this is not a competition, we will not tolerate anyone breaking the passing rules or passing in an unsafe manner. Anyone breaking the rules will be kicked off the track, no exceptions! This is for the safety (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=162755#) of everyone on the track...our goal is to have fun and "keep the shiny side up".
