Track Day interest…

[got snake?]

Cool! yeah they seem pretty good. I've only touched the track 3 times. 2 Touring sessions. NSSCC indoor driving school. And when I voulenteered as a corner worker at Autobahn. Both times in the Mazda. Once in the cobra at Mid Ohio. That alone got me the itch. Got the bug this year and hope to go nuts next year.

Sid: I read the NSSCC season summary and if memory serves me correctly there is at least 1 if not 2 guys running Cobras . I think they put them in a tough class so then run mid-pack. Maybe we can get a couple more so we can at least have a Cobra bragging rights trophy - I'm sure I can lock up last place.

Here are two more track day links:

2008 dates are posted.

Usually RA dates in April and October.

For novices, I recommend NASA's HPDE program; class room instruction and instructors in the car with you. Cobra roll bars were allowed in 2007.

RA, Autobahn, Gingerman, Putnam events planned for 2008.

The NASA Factory Five series is a race group; roll bars and competition license required.

Some of the clubs enforce a 1 or 2 inch "broom stick" rule. This a broom stick laying on the rollbar and the windshield; you must have 1 or 2 inches clearance between the stick and your helmet. Most clubs have the rule but some do not enforce it. Check before you sign up.

Email me if you want more info.
