Arrow //--> Its Official -10-11-09 - Track Day *Toyota / Lexus* Only Run Group!!!

Ok boyz and girls!

It's time to dust off your old driver gloves and stinky helmet (hah) cause its time to hit the race track!

OK, so here's the deal. On October 11, 2009 we have a "Toyota / Lexus" only run group. That means no other car's will be out there on the track with you, besides your Toyota / Lexus buddies.

This would be good for some of you that are somewhat nervous about taking your car out on the race track against other cars. Being that it will be an all Toyota / Lexus run group, this should make you feel more at ease taking your car out and just having fun.!!!

I told the rep at Speed Ventures, most of the drivers coming to this event are new to the track, so this special run group will be "novice" level. The problem with that, experienced people running the track, usually don't like running with novice track drivers.

Therefore, any one of you can sign up and choose the advance run group, however that means you will be on the race track with other cars--its up to you. I think it would be fun if we ran all together though, and the advanced guys just go up front.

Also, on the same day the s2k challenge and Corvette challenge will be taking place, so it will offer some cool sights and sounds, while waiting for our own run groups to take place.


This Event Also Features:
S2k Challenge & Cal Club Corvette Challenge (SUN)

Official Sponsors / Event Volunteers

Hellfish Garage & Le Auto Service (Smog & Repair) // Providing Garage and Tools Cover (Shade for participants)

CamberSC // Providing trailer and BBQ for some good eats @ lunch
Official Sponsors / Event Volunteers

****** F A Q's ******

Question: If it gets to crowded what would we do?
Answer:
I would move people into overflow groups if we hit that number. We can worry about it when the time comes. I'm sure we'll have plenty of volunteers to move into advanced or some other group. If we get 50 cars, we'll have two Lexus/Toyota groups.

Question: What about Run groups?
Answer: Per your request, your group description will be for Beginners and Low Intermediate drivers. Anyone else can sign up for a different group or just be patient with the slower drivers.

Question: Can we rent helmets?
Answer: They will have to rent helmets when they sign up online, otherwise no guarantees we'll have enough.

Question: What is the deadline for signup?
Answer: Deadline for signing up and getting free transponder and reserving all-Lexus/Toyota run group will be September 10.

Question: Is a roll cage required?
Answer: Roll cage not required. The only safety equipment required is for convertibles without factory rollover protection.

Question: Will there be Driving instruction?
Answer: For driving instruction, CLICK HERE.

1. Yes people can sit with you.

2. I am not sure about switching drivers, I think you might have to have a wrist band, unless you give him yours

3. Yes you will get YELLED AT!!!! --- ROFL . I'm joking!
All you have to do is be calm, stay smooth, and wave the guy behind you to pass!

Ok, but maybe's aren't really going to cut it, we need for sure sign up, of at least 20+ people, to keep our own run group.

You can fill out the form yourself, and you might be able to rent a helmet.
