Road course at englishtown raceway park
Howcome no one ever goes to that track?
from what i've heard its been done and open for use for like 2 years. i havent found any websites of organizations that go there for track days, but on raceway parks website it says to call to rent the track. Why dont we do that??? The cost to rent the track for the day (mon-thurs) including ambulance, and fire truck comes out to $3800 if we get enough people...like just 18 people, then its only $200 each. the more people the less the cost. lets try to get this together....keep in mind that booking like a month in advance is the way to go to insure we get the day, or days we want.

i would do it if you can find enough people to put down the $$. And you should be taking a deposit from everyone b/c most people would "say" they are coming and then back out

How expensive is VERY expensive, I would certainly spend some dough to track it for a day.

I heard it was awesome from some guy at the autocross... He also said there is some serious possibilities to F*ck your car up too! I may be down...

yeah, ive been itching to do this also, its just too much money. That along with the fact that there is such a high possibility to damage or seriously F up your car, is enough of a reason for me to just hang back for now...

hey guys i thought id throw this out there and say whats up, i was there yesterday and it was amazing! however its not all your cracking it up to be... the guy who usually does it said he got fired, he was such a nice guy, but he said its going down hill, the track is very abraisive and they dont maintain it.... i went for the intructional course yesterday which includes a membership fee so after u pay that u can run the track any time for like 100 bucks but anyway.... basically i made a whole documentary for a project with track cam and music and stuff, wondering if i should post it... but renting the track would be chill
edit: I can elaborate more on the day if any1 would like but for now i g2g ill be back |
