Yes. I was in the negative last year on the rental fee for Putnam, for various reasons one being price. I significantly decreased pricing in anticipation of getting a lot of registrations that didn't happen due to it being on a Friday and terrible weather. If you check around its on par with all of the other companies. Its actually slightly cheaper due to Putnam raising the rental fee this year for the garages that we can not opt out of. I choose not to pass that increase along to participants. We also offer just as much if not more track time in addition to providing event photography at no cost. Most if not all other companies will charge you for the digital photos. Also if you have attended one of my events I feel strongly you will agree its a fair price for the amount of track time you receive. Just some things to think about when considering the price. Thanks, Shawn

First off a HUGE thank you to all of the CR guys that attended events in 2011!!! There was a very strong turn out from those members on here. I hope you guys can attend our events in 2012!

I am in discussions with Mid Ohio now. I might be able to make it happen More later. I had a blast lapping with AudiOn19s (Andy).

I use trackmaster app for the android ... then use dashware to overlay the data. The data was a bit rough at nelson. I think i might have had the splits a bit off or i need to mount the BT gps device outside the car.

Mid Ohio track rental fee is crazy. Not something I am going to be able to swing anytime soon. I will look into it but not likely. I would need to find a few business partners to make something like this happen. Pm me interested. I have tons of pictures. About half uploaded as of now. Should be able to get everything uploaded tomorrow. Thanks again for coming. I'm very pleased with the Cr crew turn out.

My best session of the day. Low 1:20's ... also includes my off track at the end. The drive belt broke so i had manual brakes... wasn't slowing me down very well so i had to resort to the ebrake and the mud to get stopped.

Thanks again for coming out to my event! I really appreciate all the support from the Columbus crew. I only wish more would come, i know they would have a blast. I am in the process of uploading photos now. I took hundreds and I had a photographer taking photos as well he got over 400 high res photos ... I will let you know when they are all uploaded. Thanks again. Heres a video of me and i think it was Andy in the Porsche GT3 Lapping on the first session. Keeping in mind he pretty much left me in the dust in the other sessions once he was really getting into it and it was the first session and the track was pretty slick

Im staying at the Fairfield Inn in Streetsboro. Probably head over to bw3's in the evening for drinks if anyone is staying in town. Anyone? Shawn

Anyone for CR coming?

I need to get a set of bearing pressed onto my new t2 differential. Recommendations? Cost? Thanks, Shawn

Well give this a read. http://torquedracingsolutions.com/blog/2011/09/07/putnam-park-event-schedule-and-primer/ Replace Putnam Park with "BeaveRun" and thats pretty much the format. Let me know if you have questions. You can ride along with me if you want for the first session and i can work with you personally to make sure everything is covered. I don't know sign language but im sure with pad and paper we can make it an awesome day!

I will have to get back to you. Im not sure if our instructor knows sign language. Usually the novice group does a 30 minute class room session before going on track for the first time. Then they do a lead follow session on track for the first on track session. Normally the instructor doesn't ride with the novice group during any session. However we have drivers available for ride alongs. However im not sure if any of them the know sign language. I will have to get back to you. Shawn

Good afternoon! I hope you guys are going to be able to come out to either BeaveRun or Nelson. I wanted to give some quick details about the event. We will be doing 20 minute sessions for each group starting at 9am. So you will get 3 sessions before lunch (1 hour of track time) then after lunch you will get an additional 3 sessions (1 hour track time). That leaves 1 hour from 4 - 5pm where we call open track. Your more than welcome to go out as long as you wish right up to 5pm. We keep this format the same for ALL of our events. In addition to organizing these events I will also be running with B group. To give you an idea, at our last event at Putnam Park on September 9th. I put over 100 track miles on my car during the event. I'm working on building out these events at various tracks because I strongly believe in getting the most time on track for the money. Also our events are very laid back. Its a no pressure experience where you can share techniques and your experience with other drivers. This could be you! Group C driver 2nd sesson! http://media.torquedracingsolutions.com/Track-Days/Putnam-Park-September-2011/Group-B-and-C/i-W9vGXRw/0/L/DSC2362-L.jpg I need your help. Please register via this link. Even if it rains I can promise an experience you will never forget! http://events.torquedracingsolutions.com/2011/08/25/beaverun-hpde-track-day-registration-information/

I see its wrapping to another line....I will fix that. It's only a one day event on october 2nd, Sunday.

Its Sunday October 2nd. I can't find where it says the 1st?

I hired a few freelancers to shoot the event. I have over 4,000 photos from the event! We multiple shots of everyone! I just have to process through all of them this week and post them to our website. I will post an update once they are live. As Ben mentioned, with our events you get more seat time on track than you will probably want. I ensure with our events that every group gets at minimum of 2 hours of time on track! Lastly if you were not able to make it to Putnam we have 2 more events this year! This is your chance! I hope all of you will come out to our last two events! http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1431253#post1431253
