A Most Excellent write-up- this should be a sticky  [thumbsup]

The "private" track days are 30 minutes on, 60 minutes off (We shared the track with 2 other groups- open wheel Mazda thingys & some Porsches).
The regular Track Days seem to be 20 on, 40 off.

Jeff's li'l buddy - Derek. Super nice guy, Air Force test pilot, very helpful  [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

Nothin' better than a Track Day  ;D

So the day ended at 5:30? That's alot of seat time. Definitely your $$ worth.  [thumbsup]

No camera crew out there. It was a private day so it was pretty much just us out there.

Great write-up  [thumbsup]

Whenever I get back the track again, I need to use your approach of assessing each session at breaks and applying it to the next session. It looks like it paid off.

Doing only Saturday June 7th. Did a RS trackday last October. Have you done a RS track day. There's mixed reviews on RS depending who you ask, I personally had a fair/good outing with them the last time.

You interested in going?
