What are the possibilities of having a full day track session near the end of the season?

Your best bet is to get in with another car club. I went with Toyotanation a couple times last year, and there always seems to be clubs looking for more people. Check some other boards, and you should be able to find a few.

I went tracking with TN before and it was sloppy as hell, that was about a year back now but man the could not keep things organized at all… hell a car flipped over and a cocky idiot in a civic passed me at the apex of a corner :evil:

If we got TN involved they’d be playing by our rules and they better damn well follow it

Wow thats horrible… When I was out with them they certainly werent the most organized bunch, and there were a few idiots, but I never felt unsafe. Anyways, my point was there are usually various clubs around (and hopefully some better organized ones) that will still accept cars. Toronto Subaru Club goes a couple times a year I believe, and theyre generally a good bunch.

Mike Josh and I went lapping with them last fall as well. I found it to be very unorganized. And yes, I had a civic trying to pass me on the outside of a corner as well.  
Considering it was a toyota nation day, there was only one toyota, an AE, all the rest were civics.

Heh heh well I guess experience speaks for itself, there are a few other things I could add to the list of things that have gone wrong with that one event in particular. Spite (Jake) wrote about how he was worried about attending track days because he was afriad of the safety of his car and himself. This is what a wrote about the event, not exactly the most convincing word on TN’s lapping day and an ever worst example of how a lapping day works.

> Perfect example, Toyota Nations lapping day. Event was HORRIBLY RUN, but I participated anyway. They are a great group of guys who wanted to have some fun, but their ability to control the event was out of their grasps and people were doing really REALLY crazy things while people were out on the track as well. Here are a few really bad ones to mention:
> 
> - an IS300’s layer of tire PEELED off infront of me and I had to zip out of the way of the debris after the huge S turns on Nelson circuit.
> - an idiot in a EG was pulling his hand brake everywhere to prove he could drift his FF, I promptly got off at the next lap and waited till he go off
> - in the morning, first lap of the day, a crappy CRAPPY 89 civic FLIPPED OVER INFRONT OF ME. He understeered at the S curves because he had R Compounds on in wet whether. I put on my brakes, hit my hazzards, pulled off to the side of the track (not at the apex of the corner) and ran over to see if he was alright, at least the red flag was out and everyone stopped.
> - and someone over took me, on a corner, FROM THE INSIDE
> 
> These rules were stated at the beginning, however alot of the Honda boys who were invited really screwed around and didn’t listen to the rules. Me arguing at the event organizers didn’t do anything because everyone is friends, so I just waited till the nut balls were off the course, cooling off, and away I went. I am never going lapping with TN again, EVER! (but they are nice guys)

Well to be very honest here, I’ll have quite abit of money by the end of the summer and I would be glad to put down the first 1500 dollars deposit for a full track day. (although if someone wants to help out you know… feel free to!)

I dont see there being a problem with getting enough people out and after Phillips track day Im sure there will be many people anxious to get back on the track for one last time before the season is over.

but we’ll see, I’d like to turn it into something big. 😃
