I’m thinking of setting up another trackday. Nelson or Fabi, up to you.
Weather looks above 10 degrees for this Friday to Sunday.
I haven’t decided if it’s gonna be a Drift day or a Lapping day. That’s all up to the response that I get from you guys.
More than likely, it will be a HALF day. Starting at NOON (12PM) SHARP!!! Will go until it’s dark, so like 6PM or so. Half days are the SAME price on weekends or weekdays.
If you want it to be a FULL DAY on the weekend, ie Saturday or Sunday, then the cost will be much higher. Much much higher. On Friday, it will be much cheaper for a full day.
Fridays are cheaper to rent the track than the weekend. I understand that weekends are easier for most people with real jobs but Fridays are doable for many.
For 5 hours at Nelson or Fabi on ANY day, it’s gonna cost me $2050 with tax.
For a FULL Day at Fabi on FRIDAY it’s gonna cost $2835
For a FULL Day at Nelson on FRIDAY it’s gonna cost $2625
On the SATURDAY OR SUNDAY
Fabi - $4000
Nelson - $3800
So, i’m thinking a HALF DAY is way more doable than a fullday.
Price for the day will depend on how many people will commit to this. By commit, I mean how many people will PREPAY via EMT. I will not book until I have at least the deposit covered up front with the promise that the other half will be covered by people.
So for example. 20 people at $100.25 for a halfday will cover my costs. hahahah. If I make a little bit on top, hey, shoot me, I wouldn’t mind being able to cover the cost of some tires and gas for organizing this.
I can call SMP tomorrow and find out if there is a end of season discount due to the fact that the toilets and cafeteria are closed for the season. If that’s the case, we’re golden.
I have organized plenty of trackdays in the past, full, and half days for cars and motorcycles. This won’t be a hackjob day, it’ll be safe, fun and should run like clockwork. There will be a mandatory drivers meeting before anyone goes on track at 12PM sharp so I’ll ask people to get there for 11AM so we can start right on time. If people want to start at 11AM, that’s possible too.
If anyone is willing to volunteer their truck and trailer to serve as Emergency recovery and response vehicles for crashed or broken cars on track can get a hold of me and make arrangements for a heavily discounted price or possibly FREE day pending interest. Your responsibilities would include the use of your vehicle on a moments notice and the authorization for someone to drive your vehicle with trailer in the event that you are not available to drive when needed.
So, please, post up with interest here. I’d love to get this going starting tomorrow and will begin accepting payments via emt as soon as I have confirmation on availability.
EMT will be to:

Post up what day you prefer, configuration also if you prefer full day or half day. (chances are that this late in the year, it will end up being only a half day on the weekend costing anywhere from $100 to $150 per person.
So, yeah. Lets do this people!
Post up!
