[PsychoticGaming]

Anyone have info on 2018 track days? (Mid-Ohio / Nelson Ledges / ect) I see Auto Interests has some, any other events in the works?

I'm starting to put together a list of events that I may or may not attend so that I can plan out my track season. I'll post stuff here once I get it all compiled.

Not a track day but I'm pretty excited about Street Car Takeover coming to NTR in June

Thanks for for sharing!

 

Looks like Street Car Takeover is the same day I'm planning on Nelson Ledges, figures.

Can't fucking wait.

 

I'm setting my goals damn high in 18. 136 goal, stretch goal of 135. Failure imminent but I'll go down swinging, or crashing.

[RyM3rC]

I saw someone posting about HPDE and with DSMs in his sig, and had to say something about it.

 

Hope to see you out

[zeitgeist57]

I hear Gridlife is a rowdy fun time...to drive as well as spectate.

Odds of her making it out is slim, just rebuilt a 16g and put on my 92 to get her going. Sold the red 91, may sell the 92 as I bought a 90 Galant GSX and have a forged engine on the stand to drop in (now to decide between e316g or the 70mm t4....)

 

Odds are the PoorVette will be out on the track instead, although I wouldn't mind screaming around in the Talon at 35psi and the 70mm turbo

Like only 136 miatas passing you in 2018. Trying to hold it down to 135?

[greg1647545532]

NASA added another Mid-Ohio event as well, May 25-27.

 

I've only signed up for a few events, got too many vacations planned this year so it'll be a light load for me but I'll be at that one as well as the first Nelson Ledges event Auto Interests is doing and the Monday Mid-Ohio season opener on the 14th.

As long as no civics pass me, I'll consider it a successful season.

[Jewtoys]

I plan to be at a few VIR and CMP events.

 

Waiting for my cage to built, and still need to shake my car out on the street..

[AudiOn19s]

I've heard the same but think it applies more to their festival dates where they do drifting and concerts and car show, etc. the Mid Ohio date is just HPDE and Track Battle (time attack). I'm fairly interested in running the track battle but I'd need to buy a set of tires for my car that I'd never otherwise use hence it looses some of its attraction.

[PsychoticGaming]

For all these events I'm still surprised Nelson Ledges doesn't have more going on this year...

[AudiOn19s]

I'm sure there will be TONS of opportunities to get on-track at Nelson as they run their own little lapping day events all the time, but they don't have their 2018 schedule posted so the only ones I have are the outside organizations that are going to be driving there.

 

With what they are charging now for single day events I hope to see many more improvements this year to justify the experience.

I'll be at the Autointerest Mid-Ohio track days in May & August. Waiting to see if I can get one more event in.

Yeah NL can eat a dick until they drop their prices, or unsketch their curbing, or both. Way too far to drive and pay for what it is.

[Smokey]

I’m going to PITT instead of Nelson in the current scenario of price/quality of facility.

 

I’m going to shoot for NNJR @ Mid Ohio in May as my first event of the year as I’ve done for the last few years. Of course that assumes I can get my crap fixed and running.

[Geeesammy]

Which event(s) is/are recommended for total HPDE/road course noobz? Ideally looking for something to get seat time in on and just feel the car out without pushing hard

[PsychoticGaming]

I haven't been to NL for years since my uncle use to run there. Seems as though it has alot of hate any more?.... Though I hear the new pavement is nice.

 

Mid-Ohio I ran last year for the first time and was really nice (it's also only a 25min drive too so...) Looked at Pitt but it is a good drive too, comparable to Mid-Ohio or?

 

Auto Interests HPDE Novice is pretty good for first time on a track and getting ti know your car. Of course you'll just end up pushing it more and more

Porsche club or Auto Interests would be good to check out. PCA has a long history of good structure for new drivers with both in car instruction as well as classroom time. None of the Ohio regions require you to be a PCA member to partake.

I don’t really have hate for Nelson as I cut my teeth there when getting into car track events, but it’s just not re-vamped enough to make a visit yet. If they can sort the curbing and drop off from the new pavement it would probably warrant a visit.

 

PITT has had major revisions in the past years and the new full course gets rave reviews. I’m hoping to make it there this year sometime.

I did the Auto Interests acclamation program last year and loved it. It was about half the cost of just running novice but still got 2 full track sessions, 1 session with pace laps, a car control sessions and lots of instruction. We had the option to go out for one more session with everyone but I was kinda wore out from the day and didn't want my wagon blocking everyone out there.

[zeitgeist57]

In addition to the HPDE events, will UFO/MORPCA be doing AutoX at Circleville in 2018?
