April is too if'y on weather.  I voted for May, but could do the Sept, Oct too.  I'm too busy at the B&B in the middle.

Plus May, you will remember the skills for the Summer ahead.  [moto]

I agree with Mike that April is too iffy on the weather.  However, my opinion is that early May is also a crapshoot.  Though with my bday on the 1st, if it's dry, a trackday would be a nice present to myself...

I voted for June, since the weather is much more reliable, but could also do August/September.

July is totally out for me.  I think I already have that month booked.

October is up in the air... Chuckles and I may try to make a road trip to AZ... but that's highly speculative at this point.

Yeah... I'd have to buy my trackday... hence why I'm not overly excited about trying to go when the weather is a crapshoot.  If I'm gonna drop 200 bones for a thrill ride that's weather-dependent, I'd like to be pretty dang sure the weather is going to co-operate.  July/August/September are the best times for that, but I'm booked through July.  June weather is about as iffy as I'm willing to put money on.

its really that much money for one day on the track? What am i missing here.  I know that moe races all the time, he cant pay that much every weeknd does he? Why is it so much for one day? i guess i dont get it.

ryandalling

Yes it is that much for one track day. Race days you only pay per race, so it is cheaper, unless you run every race you can. Think of the $20 for 20 minutes with TOR and the multiply it out for an 8 hour day... it is worth it. Plus they have to pay for two ambulances and corner workers and all the other stuff that goes into making it a success. It is worth it, and very addictive. Just think of it as your very own cocaine addiction.  ;D

Note really the same Ryan, they have programs to help end a cocaine addiction.

Running out of money tends to cure you of track days... although thats when I start volunteering at the track... to get you some cheap track time.  ;D
