gillbot Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Anyone run at BeaveRun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted January 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Anyone run at BeaveRun? Beaver Run is now call Pitt Raceway. The track was purchased by the owhership team that owns VIR and they completed the full track layout as of August of last year. It has finally developed into the property they originally hoped it would be. Dates above referenced as Pitt are at that facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Ran Mid Ohio with the Auto Interests group last year and had an amazing time, great group of people and extremely helpful. Personally I intend to hit Mid Ohio at least twice this year and would also love to catch an "out of town" event, maybe if other CRs are eyeballing something we could set up something to do as a group?

I've been planning on heading over there at some point to hang, didn't realize the name changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprafiedd Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I will be doing 1-2 of those events this year. Most likely with the MORPCA or NORPCA as my college friend suggested those groups which he runs with his track prepped STI. DP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 added US Audi club in July...one of my favorite events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 So what is usually required to run these events, Andy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsm_sleeper Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Money, long sleeves, pants and a helmet. Oh and a car that passes tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 So what is usually required to run these events, Andy? fresh brake fluid, good condition pads and tires, approved helmet (you can get a loaner in a pinch) and a good attitude. Most of these clubs realize that these events need to be run like a business to survive, they are not highly profitable to begin with so the days of needing a BMW to be at a BMW club event, or Porsche at PCA event are long gone. You don't even need to be a paying memeber of any of these clubs to take part in their HPDE events. Signup for the majority of these are either on Clubregistration.net or motorsportreg.com I would suggest the bigger groups like PCA, BMW club or US Audi club for beginners...their beginner programs are much better in my opinion.

It was a blast, the new sections are challenging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Quick update - Because of complaints from people who live near the track NCM has had to put in place a 103 DB limit (@ 50 ft) for all events moving forward until an alternative agreement can be made. If you are planning on attending you better be certain your car is quiet or it will be parked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Bump, anyone doing some of these? poop...I got your text I've been slammed with work stuff. I'll be at OVR PCA at Mid Ohio in 3 weeks. Think it might be full already though. Also be at Audi Club @ mid ohio in late July. Let me know if you want details on that event. Looking at Auto Interests at Pitt Race the first week in July too. After that IDK...probably doing Watkins Glen in August then more Mid Ohio stuff in September and VIR in October.

greg1647545532 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Who are you doing VIR with? I'm thinking about making it down there Oct/Nov timeframe, TrackDaze is there the first week of Nov but it's two weekdays. I'll be at Mid-Ohio with AutoInterests on June 27th, and they just added a Tuesday event on July 19th that I might bring the van out to.

Are you instructing any? I've only done 1 HPDE at Mid Ohio in the Golf R, but autocross regularly, and "get it." I do, however, want to get better with instruction, and feel an intermediate level suits me. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"ll be instructing at all of them I mentioned above. The Audi Club event is generally more laid back and not necessarily the fastest group in the world, but their group size is much smaller than the PCA events which means less traffic and better "quality" track time. Tough call on the experience level. Knowing what I know about your skill level I think you would not fit well in the beginner group as it's generally painfully slow, but based on your previous track experience you are probably going to get stuck there by most organizations. I think your pace would be good for intermediate with most groups but you'd have to work really hard on awareness of what we try to teach to the beginners that you wouldn't generally be getting by skipping up to intermediate.

Great, thanks for the details. I'll figure out which one works for me, and register. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
