Eagles Canyon Toys for Tots

Last year it was basically $20 for a track day and I was sick and missed it :(

It looks like it's tentatively scheduled for the second weekend in December, so put it on your calendar :)

Last year, I ran without a roll bar. But, I did have to have my soft top up.

They do not require roll bars for open track days run by ECR (not Driver's Edge etc.)

Not yet. I can't find the flyer from last year either.

Just keep an eye on eaglescanyon.com and/or this thread. I'll keep it updated when I get more info.

Since my Dad always gives me shit for spending money on this stuff, I think I'm going to bring him out to this one to drive. He not someone thats most likely willing to give up multiple hours in a day to come, but this one would be perfect because he can come, bring a toy and run for just one session if thats all he wants to do. We don't going hunting, or anything like that together, so maybe I can get him into this.

Funny you mention that; NC_Eunos suggested a father/son track day in June for Father's Day which I thought would be cool. I bought golf clubs I never use except to play with dad.

As for the money, tell dad you're improving your emergency driving skills, safely familiarizing yourself with your car's limitations, and making great memories for less than the cost of monthly payments on a 747 jumbo jet!

I'm gonna try to make it if they've relaxed the roll bar requirement. Last email I received (last year) was very clear about needing them.

I told the guys at ECR how excited everyone was about it last year and how they are looking forward to helping out the kids by bringing in toys. Thought it was great for the track to make it happen.

Thanks Ken o. If there's anything I can do to help let me know. This will be the one and only chance to get my Dad on track....

If they do it, don't be TCB! This is for kids who need it more than you do.

It's now on the calendar.

I posted this as a toys for tots thing, but IIRC, it's actually a toy run, where the toys/money is donated to a local battered women's shelter in the area. I'm sure ken/maggie have more details.

from her email...

"I will be posting the details early next week on the website. Still working on some things.
Thanks,

Since we are basically getting a track day isn't just spending $20.00 a bit bah humbug(ish)??

I think that's what Ken meant by "Don't be TCB".

I think you are reading too much into 10 words.

Guys, I think goofygrin posted $20 because the entry fee last year was "$20 or an unwrapped toy". However, since this is for charity (i.e., for people who don't have the luxury of debating entry fee costs for track days), please feel free to give more if you can.

Thanks, and see you at the track!

I'm totally new to the track day thing and looking for a mentor and this looks like a good place to start. I am willing to take on a co-driver in exchange for a little hand holding.:D

If you don't need to hold hands, there will be instructors available ;)
