Here is the track update:
Today, 4/17, Michael Dietel (general manager, Pro Control Driving School), and myself went to Reno-Fernley Track to meet with the operating management, and inspect the track. Michael and his instructors will be running our track day, so he has the “final” say in track matters.
Our (Michael’s) conclusions:
After driving several laps around the track, we felt that the course we will be running is in “good” shape-no surface is perfect, and more than adequate for our purpose. We will be running the H course. We also checked for adequate “instructional” areas for the novices. This also was fine. BOTTOM LINE, the track is ready for us.
Pro Control will be running the event. We will be sending out a questionnaire to the participants in order to determine “capabilities”, allowing us to determine the right mix of instructors/classes in order to cover everyone’s needs.
We will have instructors, flaggers, emergency personnel, etc. Tech inspection will be Thursday.
The Cost: I have been told by both the track management and the driving school, that normally they would be charging $395-450 per person. What we are trying to do is to have 50 drivers @ $150.00 each, which would cover costs. The faster you sign up, the better we can plan the event. This is a great opportunity to get some instruction in, some track time, and some bragging rights, at a very reasonable price.
