ph1tnessjunk1e Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I was cruising the Mid Ohio site and came across this: http://www.carfestusa.com/ Has any one been to this previously or plan on going this year? It looks pretty fun, plus you have the opportunity to take your car or on the track! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoticGaming Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm going for the Acclimation Program and afternoon track time (figure it's probably the best idea for having never been on a road course track). I know when I talked to them a month ago they said open slots were almost full. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph1tnessjunk1e Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm going for the Acclimation Program and afternoon track time (figure it's probably the best idea for having never been on a road course track). I know when I talked to them a month ago they said open slots were almost full. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Yeah I would love to do that! I wonder if there are other times throughout the year you can do an Acclimation program. I won the autoX in 2015 but couldn't go in 16. Jason/Sarah and their team put on great events all year long. Ill be at their mid ohio track day may 1st. Nice! I'll planning on going but really just to hang out and watch the events. I don't know if I'll have my car drivable by that point.

99StockGT Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Did the AutoInterest program 2 years ago at Mid Ohio and had an absolutely awesome time. 20 minute heats all day, had probably 2 solid hours of on track time per day. Have never had more fun driving one of my own cars to the limit like I did there. You can have instructors ride along with you to teach you car control, braking points, proper lines, racing etiquette... definitely money well spent. **** Make SURE your ride is ready! **** These days are HARD on components, after the weekend was over I needed new tires/brakes/brake lines(blew one ending my weekend) and some suspension components replaced thanks to a 4 wheel drift into the grass.

OH 97SC300 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I don't want to be "that guy".....but me and a buddy checked it out last year. We were both pretty disappointed. Pretty expensive and wasn't all that. I will not be going back, doubt I'd go if it was free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH 97SC300 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Went to spectate. From that stand point, disappointing. I suppose if I went to race at all, whether on track or autocross, would've been better, seeing as how it wasn't too busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
