2012 Track Season for us Mid Atlantic guys :)

Focusedintntions · 12-28-2011, 11:08 AM

Anybody pricing/planning out their next season yet? I'm already looking at the feb events at VIR

Gary, Joe, Kori...i'm looking at you guys haha

pixelblue · 12-28-2011, 02:10 PM

Can't wait for the season to kick off. Who's sponsoring feb VIR?

Focusedintntions · 12-28-2011, 02:50 PM

There are 2 events in feb. One bmwcca tarheel chapter and the other is a NASA event.

pixelblue · 12-28-2011, 04:34 PM

Hope we have a mild winter! Btw, like to autox this year. Never had but it seems like fun. Do we have any local autox folks in our forum?

joeo · 12-28-2011, 05:18 PM

So many groups! I really like the track daze group - love the 30min sessions. AutoX is fun, but nothing compared to a road course IMO!

-Joe

pixelblue · 12-28-2011, 05:30 PM

Joe,
I agree Trackdaze is my favorite. They won't be at summit until may. SCCA is doing one in march and nothing till august. Guess I should start looking at NASA and BMWCCA. I agree autox is not as fun but a good way to fill the gaps at least

GaryS · 12-28-2011, 07:34 PM

I'm planning SCCA at SP Main in March. There's also something with South Jersey SCCA March 31-April 1 at Lightning. If it's a DE event, I'll probably do that one too.

Most of the PCAs haven't published their schedules yet. I expect one them will have an event at SP in March. The one I ran with in October was a lot of fun.

pixelblue · 12-28-2011, 08:10 PM

I'm def planning on SCCA SP in march. Last two years it was raining. Like to hit NJMP this year too

Focusedintntions · 12-29-2011, 06:32 AM

This year NJMP is def on the list. I also wouldn't mind maybe trying Road Atlanta or Mid-Ohio. I want to get in one "far away" track this year.

S54dan · 12-29-2011, 08:38 AM

I'll be at VIR in May just like last year

Focusedintntions · 12-29-2011, 09:13 AM

Hopefully Dan I can be there too and finally meet the legend haha

pixelblue · 12-29-2011, 09:31 AM

Would love to hit road Atlanta and mid-Ohio too but that's a long haul for us. Like 10 hours drive!

Focusedintntions · 12-29-2011, 09:44 AM

I know, but it'd be a fun long weekend to try something new! In a couple years i want to do a cross country road trip and go do some west coast tracks like Laguna Seca and Button Willow.

SkinnyVT · 12-30-2011, 09:21 AM

I hate you guys, I'm looking at early-May for my first event this season

Focusedintntions · 12-30-2011, 10:22 AM

Come on down to VIR

You won't regret it as it's one of the best tracks on the east coast!

VIR and Road Atlanta are both on my list of places to drive. Need to arrange some ride swapping between north/south, east coast/west coast so we don't all have to tow our cars 17 hours to drive a single track.

Bunch of the mid-atlantic club racers made the trip up to Calabogie in Ontario last year, from what I hear they thought it was worth the extra long trip.

jlee · 12-30-2011, 09:23 PM

Does anyone have a link to a good schedule ?

trackschedule.com used to be a great site but it hasn't been updated in awhile.

i plan to hit VIR, Summit and maybe Limerock or Watkins Glen this year...

jeff

GaryS · 12-31-2011, 06:02 AM

^^ The tracks and clubs all have their own calendar or event pages, but almost all of it will be at this link eventually:

S54dan · 01-03-2012, 09:05 AM

Just can't wait until VIR in May. Looking forward to meeting all of you

Focusedintntions · 01-10-2012, 10:57 AM

Any of you guys interested in going to a Feb event?? I'd like to find somebody to maybe split a paddock room with for 2 nights.

jlee · 01-10-2012, 08:01 PM

which event in February ?

Qbrozen · 01-11-2012, 01:58 PM

Hey folks. I've only ever been to NJMP and am looking to expand this year. VIR, SP, maybe Poconos.

Anyway, when does registration for the April SP usually open up? I see the event on the motorsportreg site, but it doesn't seem actual reg is open yet.

thanks.
