some time in late may or june would be perfect. :thumbsup:

the weekend of may 5/6 there are a lot of scoobies taking part in the ASA Autoslalom School in Edmonton. as far as i know i think 6-7 are coming out at least. i am sure another track day within the next month or so after this would provide a great opportunity to practise.

[Fuji]

Track is under new management. It will be hard to get time this year. I am working on getting track days right now, but no promises. The other issue is not many of the guys who want to go have been to an official school or anything. I only know of a handful of us who can go with the instructor I currently use.

Also the cost will be probably a lot more than last year too. 220+/day --

[mac_82]

What kind of official school is needed?

[SubiePilot]

I'd be in but it would depend on the day as I am not always around due to work. And I also would like to know about a school. Does rally school count?lol

[Fuji]

At the minimum something like a driving course such as the 2 day BMW driving school or Track Techniques 3 day course. They are expensive but are worth the money. It's better to have 18 cars on that track that know whats going on than ppl driving in an unsafe manner

[Tuner1]

Great idea! I'd sign up for this event. See who can chase my FXT around the track :D

[RedBull]

I'd be in for this event as well if you allow "non-subies" to come out and play. (4 BMW driving schools under my belt now)

I need some track time in my Challenge Car for this summer, or maybe the Z :thumbsup: Either way count me in!

Maybe you missed what Fuji said:
You have to be willing to be enrolled in a course as well.

I would budget as well:
Roughly $500 a person for a course.
+
X Track days pre paid
(prob 3 track days so maybe $800)

Why this much money?
Short:Money talks

A bit longer: Track rental is not cheap and no shows hurt everyone that comes out - To be honest, only a few "hardcores" come out.

Ricky,
If you can get a strong list together track days are possible.

**
The course is not in anyway related to a full Racing course just structured for Race City and to adhere to Race Track Insurance. If there is enough interest maybe instructors can be pulled in :)
**

*****************************
Maybe the better question is who would be interested in a Track Course as I don't see many people (hardcore :bigpimp: ) able to afford the track days as well.

[mac_82]

I am taking the ASA autoslalom school this May in Edmonton. If that is not good enough, then I guess count me out....

:dunno:

I just thought the 2 day ASA course could have been similar to the 2 day BMW driving school.

I didn't realize the course had to be at Race City to adhere to their insurance.

If a track course is being offered I would be interested in that.

I tend to under explain myself at times, but the point of adding a list is to show who is interested in attending, wich would have then been pruned to weed out the people who are just posting for posting sake...

but thanks for explaining the situation to everyone and letting us know where the whole track situation lies...

:thumbsup:
I'm all for track days. In no way am I trying to dissuade one from happening.

The above is just something to keep in mind. As well, with any track day; new and old a school is always a good thing to have under the belt.

Autoslalom athough, is a motorsport it is a different discipline.

Another Example of a school is CSCC Solo 1 (http://cscc.speedracer.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3198)

Yes, a shameless plug but the more interest there is the chances for a track day becomes that much more :D

I do not know the current climate with RCMP if they will have track insurance. I only know that Track Insurace has stipulations as to who can be on the track.
