At those prices I'd rather us just rent the NCCAR track, our local club did it back in Aug and it was a blast!
I got 4 fifteen min sessions for $75 for the day.

Think it was $3000 for the day for the track and crew to keep it going......split that up between 15-20 of us and its a great price!!

If you guys want to do it let me know and I can get that setup...

Wow that vette really was slow, only watched the spectator video last time. Might look into kershaw again too, we have a large enough group that renting out the track is a possibility.

Yeah that guy in the vette really held everyone up, by the time the group came off the pace car was right behind the chase car and there was a huge gap in the middle of the field. Shoulda black-flagged him, but that's not the way they do holiday laps. Shame that the slower folks don't do the decent thing and voluntarily go to the back at the beginning.

Or you could be like that Porsche driving D-bag and get tossed for trying to pass. Steve and JJ weren't too impressed with his 500 horsepower.

Tarheel Sports Car Club (http://www.thscc.com/) does High Performance Driving Events, they don't have their 2013 schedule out yet but they do events at VIR and at Kershaw. I can't do it because I don't have a 4 point roll bar installed but anyone who has a hardtop can do them usually without having to mod the car. Might be worth a look.

Lol!!! I would have given ANYTHING for him to attempt a pass on the back straight. Would have loved to see him explain to his girl why he couldn't pass the Mustangs that made the whining sound.

What an idiot....

I would be in for this. I would imagine we could get this out on the forum and have quite a crew for the event.
