[FDC] Ferrari/Exotics Track Day Proposed...

Byron-
Yeah, been a while. How've you been. Glad there's no sound limit, my little crap wagon's loud. She's running a little tired, but true. Not much of a street car anymore but that's how it goes and, yes, I'm still barking up the BW tree.

 

Not only is it Fathers Day and Rodeo Drive, it's also the USGP!

 

I can't think of a better Fathers Day gift than a day at the track!

 

Lets go to the track! Lets go to the track!

You can tape the USGP. Ferrari is getting killed anyway. To any real Ferraristi ... is there ever a car at a show that really surprises you? Half the really high end cars are just re-restorations of what you saw last year. Lets put it this way to anyone who has not been on a track...The track is just about the most fun yo can have with your cloths on!

Byron...I told you it would be like this. If you want to gage real seriousness just ask for refundable payment to reserve the tracktime and see who will step up to the plate.

 

B,

You can keep costs to a minimum with more car entries. I bet you will have to open up to non-Ferraris but you may bring out a few track damage fearful people by having this as a Ferrari only event. The average single day event out there from the various clubs run about $115-300 bucks. I have seen $600 days but then everyone drops out because they can buy a track weekend for 2-300 bucks with the likes of Alfa or speedventures etc. eventhough they get huge tracktime at 600bucks. Everyone wants to run hot and heavy the first session then the Italian cars start to break. These cars can be near bullet proof but it takes some minimal preparation. Most people will not do the prep and will pay the price in a short trackday. Then a whole other group of guys will just get plain tired because it takes lots of concentration to go your fastest on a track. So if you ever get 60 cars you will have 40 maybe running by days end. Start with 35 cars and have 15-20 running by the last sessions. I hope to see 40 Ferraris show up at this event.

 

If spiders are OK I'll give myself a 40% to 50% chance with my 348 but I am going to need FBB's prep list for my car for sure.

Cheers
