Reno-Fernley in June ~ 4.1 Mile Track!!!
 

Come on out and enjoy one of the West's longest tracks on June 23-24! Reno-Fernley boasts a 4.1 mile, 25-turn track. It's like a huge autocross on the top, and a horsepower festival on the bottom. Cost for this event will be $200 for one day, $375 for two days. As always, the event will include a supply of bottled water and Gatorade, healthy snacks, catered lunches, instruction, and at least TWO HOURS of track time! Go to our website at www.team-racing.org and click on the "schedule" link to sign up. :)

The weekend after an autocross and before an SCCA PDX... I'm probably in. :)

In!

anyone wanna let me ride along with them? im not 18 so i cant run on the track :(

I might go too. Just to seat my racing pad. :)

Glad I apparently timed this one right. ;) It was going to be a NASA event, but Jerry let me know that he'd cancelled, so I took it on. What is a pdx? A racing pad? Hey, I might be a seasoned veteran, but I learn new stuff all the time. ;)

PDX is SCCA's new name for level 1 time trials, which is really just an untimed HPDE.

I'll probably be out there getting in some practice before the time trials event, assuming I have tires at the time.

I don't know what Bonnie's policy is, but generally you can get ridealongs with instructor-qualified drivers. Most organizations, such as the SCCA, frown on ridealongs with "student" drivers because of insurance reasons, among others.

.. and doesn't it stand for something like Performance Driving eXperience?

Boy, whoever set the Reno SCCA schedule rules! :lol:

... except that trackmasters and audi club RFR events are on autox weekends :(

Yeah.. booo! MattR is lazy! :P

Matt R Sucks.

We'd need permission from a parent or guardian before allowing a minor in the car. And yes, we prefer to only let this happen with an instructor or trusted advanced group driver. Reno-Fernley has teen car control clinics, by the way. You should check it out! :)

The link to the teen car control clinic, by the way, is at http://www.procontroldriving.com/car_control_clinic.htm

I took the mini car control. I don't like it.

Thanks for letting us know how the RFR school is, zpeed. I've only instructed there, and that was with a different group several years ago. Car control clinics I think are more for new drivers. Experienced track drivers might fall asleep. ;) Our event does not have specific car control exercizes, but we do have classroom time in between sessions to help further the experience. The combo of driving and classroom time have proven to be a great formula. Hopefully RFR will have some facilities by June other than the old trailer that used to be at Thunderhill. :)

Just in case you were wondering, we're now up to twelve drivers already! The driver list is up online at www.onemain.com/~bonster/driverlist.html Sure would be nice if Michael had some company from his fellow Subie folks. ;)

BW

Mike, be sure to put the hurt on that Ferrari :p

I'll cut his brake lines before we go on track.

I should sign up, this is on my birthday, afterall.

Hey now, be nice to that Ferrari. It sounds suWEET! And yes, Tyson, you should sign up. It's a great excuse being it's your birthday and all. I'll even buy you a Gatorade. ;)

BW

Will there be a "last day" to sign up for this or just when you run out of spaces?

Damn, that would be a great experience. Too bad my wallet nor my stock tires are up to that. Maybe next year after I have a few autocross events under my belt.

I will probably do this day as well. I just have a bunch of things going on right now so I cannot commit right now. I do have it in my calendar though. I had a blast last time; with so much track space you have all the room you need - and I need plenty.
