they are a great group to run with..Tommy is a cool guy..

track time is good when compared to other NON-PRIVATE events..

tech is strict..but if your car is in good shape then it should have no problems...for that matter if you couldn't pass tech i don't see why you would want to run it anyway...doesn't seem safe to me..tech is there for a reason..not a formality..

I'd say it's a good amount of track time. Something like 5 sessions of 20 minute runs. $120 is pretty good when you compare it with other organizations' events. If your car's running fine you'll most likely pass tech. Give it a try. No race experience necessary and it's a lot of fun.

speedtrial is pretty good with track events... tommy is pretty cool guy. tech is ok, just the basic and it's for your own good.
