RSparky Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 That's an awfully expensive track day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 It's a cool track, and definitely a world-class facility, but I'm not sure I wouldn't spend the same money elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 When I was there for the GP race i heard some guys talking and they were going to do a track day there but I doubt they paid that. Also a friend of mine accompanied a friend of his down to a track day there. I'll try to find out what it cost him and what org it was with.

Jester_ Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Long haul down there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Long haul down there as well. that's part of what I was implying. For the $550 fee, you can ride for 2 days on most other tracks, with a considerable amount of your expenses included in that amount. A weekend at Road America would be a good example. There's no denying that COTA is on a different level than anything else in the US, with the possible exceptions of Miller, and Laguna Seca (arguments for others), but I would ride other tracks that are closer and cheaper first... Barber, to name one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
