mid Ohio sports car course open track

thinking about going to July25 on track day. has any one done or know someone who has done the "limited speed" open track days? I guess you can't do max speed session unless you table their advanced driving school (additional $800)

my question is does this really restrict what you can do with your car? how limited is limited?

I did a track day there in 2011, and they didn't limit the speed. We did have to do single file follow the leader, but the instructor picked up speed if you were riding his bumper, and slowed down if he left people in his dust. We all took turns being right behind the instructor, so you could go as fast as you felt comfortable.

Sweet and just to be clear you did not complete 1 of their driving courses prior to the track today correct

Here's how the day went:

1. Classroom: for maybe an hour
2. Skid car: several laps around the skid course to practice controlling skids
3. Single turn cone course: practice hitting the turn-in/apex/exit several times
4. Cone-course: probably 20-25 laps
5. Big track: well over an hour of instructor-led, follow the leader, single-file, no-passing except when we rotated who was right behind the leader

All that was somewhere around $300 if I recall correctly.

Didn't have to take any other courses beforehand.
