Track day anyone?

[35RFTW]

Kicking around the idea of doing a track day for current/previous customers of ours. It won't be free unfortunately, but will be discounted significantly though. What would everyone think to be an attractive price and would people still come if it was on a weekday? Also when I say current/previous customers that would include anyone who has purchased anything from us. You would also qualify buy buying something when purchasing your track day ticket. Just looking for some input at this point to see if it is something we can feasibly make happen.\

***POLL ENDS AT THE END OF FEBRUARY***

I'd be interested depending on cost, where it is, when it is, etc

[redkow97]

are you picturing Mid-Ohio, or somewhere else? I'd go to Mid-Ohio on a weekday (if the price is right), but further than that (Putnam) would make it much less doable.

[APCh8r]

$100-$150 for the day would be an great price to shoot for.

[MidgetTodd]

I think 50 for the day would be a better price to shoot for, and yes I'd be interested

[35RFTW]

It would be at Mid Ohio and would need at least 100 people to sign up from the numbers we are looking at now. I am going to post a poll for possible cost.

Im the only one who voted for 150....wtf

[MidgetTodd]

Your the only one thats loaded. Can get trackdays for less than 150 many places.

[SJC1000rr]

Im the only one who voted for 150....wtf

I voted 150 also! Which is still cheap for a Mid Ohio day. Normally $195.....

[Dubguy85]

Im the only one who voted for 150....wtf

I voted kawi turd! Sure Id rather pay 75 but lets be honest... 100 - 125 would be a HELL of a deal.. but realistically its gonna be 150

[MidgetTodd]

Well I'm broke so I voted 75

Not at Mid-Ohio...

100 riders sounds like a lot though. "at least 100" especially. more than 35 per group (i'm assuming 3 groups), and things can get really hairy.

+1 75 people would be a safe max

[APCh8r]

Yeah 75 would be best

[35RFTW]

I really thought there would be more input on this than what I am getting. But that's ok. I want to make it as cheap as possible and I think we have the rate locked down at $100/rider. It will be an afternoon time and I am thinking the number of people we are looking to get signed up is around 75 but no more than 100. That way everyone will get 1 hour of track time broken down into 3 x 20 minute sessions. Next up will be the date. I am going to see what is available and get back with 2-3 to pick from. We will have some give aways and prizes at the track day as well! Really looking forward to this.

[APCh8r]

So you are saying this is only going to be for a 1 hr session?

[MidgetTodd]

Yea thats how it sounds to me 100 is kinda steep for just the afternoon, not to mention packing everything up and heading out and seting up just for a half day... If thats the case I'll probally pass

[APCh8r]

Yea for only a 20 minute session total that would not be worth it at all.

[Dubguy85]

Yea for only a 20 minute session total that would not be worth it at all.

I think its 3 twenty minute sessions instead of the normal track day of 8 twenty minute sessions.

[MidgetTodd]

Thats not worth the 100 plus travel and setup and all. IMO

Thats not a trackday thats a taste test.

[OSUYZFR1]

I agree, I'd have to pass if it's only three 20 min sessions.

[Dubguy85]

absolutely agree

[TwiztedRabbit]

yeah i would have to pass on that too and hell were pretty close.. no reason to get everything packed then set up ride 3 sessions then pack up and drive home.. IMO thast a waste if money period.. now if the price was closer to 50..(it never would be) i miiiiiiight consider but really the first half of a session is warm up (im not baller like everyone else) so then you only get 2 sessions in then its done?

I tend to agree. a 'regular' 7 session day is $195, so if this is only going to be 3 sessions, I change my vote to "below $100."

some people might like the lower cost to give the track a try. If that's their target audience, then the idea is more worth it.

for my part, I try to mainly ride 2 DAYS at a time so the travel is more worth it...
