Interested in taking a parade lap. I'd love to take on the course but I don't think I can burn up that much tire.

I'd Like to do this too, this would give me a reason to go, I'm sick of them not having a road course after getting me addicted at fest II, I'd like t o see how other people would feel if there wasn't a dragstrip

Count me in. Nothing like a little fun in the rolling hills of Kentucky.

$100 for two hot laps at the vette road course is what I'm reading

Hot Laps = Helmets
Guided parade laps ok. Hot laps are especially dangerous in the first few laps, tire grip and handling always a concern. I am sure there will be many safety rules so that we all can drive home too, these are STREET cars first and Track cars second. No passing allowed in turns and must wave to pass on straights are all probably going to be part of the rules. Even out braking into a corner can throw off an inexperienced driver being passed. Once a thread gets opened up with details, I would recommend 3 20 minute hot lap sessions per hour with a 20 minute pause for parade lappers, 1 beginner. 1 intermediate and 1 advanced. There are several on here that can help classify where you need to run.

Typically most groups that you run with will put you in the beginners class, but for someone that has done a lot of driving outside of road courses (autox, police officers, etc) and being stuck in the beginner class sucks at that rate, so having someone to help classify where you would be versus just putting you in what they think you should be in would be nice. I typically run in the intermediate class, but as you can see from the video I posted above, there were quite a few cars / drivers that were either scared of the course of shouldn't have been in that class.

As far as going this once per hour to give the others a break, that doesn't look like it's going to happen. We want to give the paid drivers as much track time as possible and if we have 4 heats running 22/23 per heat at 15-20 min each, we are going to run them back to back as much as possible until lunch. While we do lunch, non racers will go for a parade lap at a minimal expense which can later be donated to a special cause or something. Quote:

I think we'll get a lot more people out to the fest with the RC. It's going to be a blast! Quote:
AND AGAIN.....there is a LOT to have come together to make this work. We are working on a two day event. It's a LOT to do right now, but it's in the works. No worries...we have plenty of time. The track is held right now for those two days. SO...we are all good for now. |

WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG?!?! That was some great driving! Can't wait!!! I'd love to get some other types of cars in there to play with our ZL1's. It'd be nice to have some vettes, porches, and others. Heck, yeah... |
