Eagle Canyon Track Day Info. - June 16, 2012

[gabkwong]

I like to try out the ECR track day. I hope to get some more info before I sign up.

1. What are the dates and times?
2. How many run groups?
3. How much actual track time can I expect to get each day?
4. How aggressive are the drivers? Safety concern since I have a relatively low power/limit car on street tires.

Thanks,

[ken o]

Safe. Just be honest with your skill level.

ken o is spot on. I was at the last open track day when we had rain overnight and early morning. We got only 4 sessions. There were about 50 cars divided between 4 run groups; 1) green, 2) blue, 3) yellow (solo), 4) white (solo) and red (instructors). There were no safety concerns from me in the group I ran in, everyone was sensible. ECR is not very Miata friendly, too many long straights, but I had fun anyway. I plan to do more ECR open track days. I will not be able to make the June 16 open track day, nor the one on July 21. But, I'm planning one making the August 25 OTD.

1. What time I have to be there?
I think the driver's meeting is at 8:00 so be ready to go by 8:00. Usually Instructors are out first while you are in class.

2. Do I have to bring food and drinks, or the canteen is open?
Sometimes. Don't count on it. They will have burgers and chips only. Drinks in the machine.

3. Web site says cotton short. Short sleeve OK?
Yes. Not g-strings. I know, I was pissed too.

4. Miata w top down w roll bar OK? or I have put on my HT?[/QUOTE]
I think in the beginner groups, yes. But check with Maggie when you sign up.

BTW, you do not want to drink the tap water there unless you like dropping water from your rectum for 3-days.
