Unfortunately there’s nothing between Speeders and Strathmore currently, I’m in the same boat, don’t have time to commit to actual karting but Speeders is not enough. We need something like the old Crossroads indoor outdoor gas kart track that required a learners license at minimum to race.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Surprise, surprise they voted it down 6-2. Chabot likely just brought this half assed motion in front of council to make it look like he gives af about doing something.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Race City has closed for a decade and Chabot has been around for 16 years now. Surprised he pipes up about this now unless he was trying to see if anyone is onboard since purple rein is gone.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Still a half ass plan and it's not going to stop street racing. Just like it didn't when Race City was around.
Had my first chance today on track, pretty awesome. I wasn’t feeling it the first two sessions but once I started looking extremely far ahead and taking tons of late apexes the flow began to improve. Definitely recommend trying it out.

How much did the track day cost you?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Im curious for pricing as well.
Had a quick look at their website and looks like you have to be rich af to afford a membership there lol
Im part of a club that’s an investor/corporate member so I pay my yearly club fee and it includes all the days they have booked at venues for the year. I know Davenport, Calgary Sports Car Club and Track Junkies will have days this year that non members can attend but I don’t know the cost. Keep in mind there’s a limit of days for non members per year.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I heard there is a decent bank at one of the corner. Is it quite a steep bank?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It’s sweet, it’s a right hander that goes uphill and over the crest into a off camber left hander downhill. It’s not nascar banking but there’s definitely a bit of a banked angle for part of the corner.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That's pretty cool man! post some track footage sometime would be neat to see what it's like.
What are the clubs like for pricing and dates? I've never even really had any exposure to that kind of stuff, but it would be fun to build the S14 into a track machine...
Here’s a video my friend took, I’m in the FRS that switches to leader part way through the video.

Cool. I wish I had lots of track experience.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I'm taking my Subaru in 3 weeks, should be a good time.
Everybody has to start somewhere, you should try out one of the days Davenport has booked this summer. I think they have four evening events and starts around $350/person. Put some good quality brake fluid in your car and get some experienced people to give you ride alongs or ride with you and you’ll be starting to master the lines and pick up speed in no time.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I've found it's really helpful to have someone with track experience in the passenger seat, when you're getting started. They'll talk you through when you can brake, when to turn in, where to look, etc. Even just etiquette for letting people pass, etc. It helped me a lot when I started doing Driver Education track days down in the US. It's a big rush, and you'll fall in love with your car all over again, getting to push it that hard.
I have the first Davenport event booked but not sure which car I should bring. I would think the Golf R would be a smarter starting point but a few buddies insist that I should take the wagon.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Solid advice on having someone in the car with me, I enjoy “spirited” drives but driving on the track is something that I would think takes lots of practice to master.

Tbh the Golf R is a bit of a pig on the track, but for a beginner it should work fine. Focus on being smooth and looking really far ahead, try not to scrub your tires by making harsh inputs or squaring off corners.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Take the golf R for a first time out. You’ll learn a lot in that car and get some experience with the track. Plus brakes and tires are way cheaper haha.
I used to run my gti on the road course to practice consistency. It’s a forgiving car that’ll help you learn the track quicker, and make it way easier and less wasting brakes and tires when you take the wagon out.
