For those thinking about signing up, Speedventures have created a discount code, please PM me for it and details.

I just emailed Aaron again...I got this feeling that he wont let me instruct for them...and I cannot afford a full or discount priced event at this time.

How many of you are in?

Need a sponsor?

Mr. 5 · 06-24-2009, 03:18 PM

I might have to change my race date to Friday.

Either I give up my front row tickets to see Cold Play or I change the date.
Will this hurt the group rate at all?

EDIT

Alright, I changed my driving date from the 18th to the 17th.
If anyone wants to share a room on the 16th, 17th, or both then let me know.

I just finished registration for the wife and I - waiting for confirmation on group reassignments. Sorry we're going to miss you Mr. 5.

That sucks.
I'm really bummed that I couldn't go Saturday.

Laguna is such a fun track, and the history there makes it a real special - special olympics that is.

How much?

You should try clicking it.

Anyone interested in going in halves with a room?
I'd much rather stay in a nicer hotel and split the cost.

We have 3 people signed up to date? Steve, will you be the 4th?

Hit_Apex · 06-30-2009, 09:28 PM

We have 5! I think if we hit 10, we can get another discount!

dxb335d · 07-01-2009, 09:38 AM

Wish i could join you boys, I love Laguna Seca but im the otherside of the pond in the UK...

SHAME, but i do have the Nurbrugring not far in Germany which i enjoy...

The best Race circuit in the world.... Im in love with the place.

Mr. 5 · 07-01-2009, 09:52 PM

Did you guys see this?
I need to read it over and over.

it's just another turn.

The best thing you can do for yourself (speaking from experience) is play Gran Turismo 4. Drive that track over and over with a 114 hp miata. Follow slower cars to learn the line. Stay in that car unitll you turn laps +/- .5 from eachother. Think about late apexing everything.

Edit: you are paying for instruction right?

Gran Turismo?
Which one is that with?
I have the first nintendo. Will that help?

uberschnell · 07-01-2009, 11:26 PM

I'd be more concerned with turn 9. You can carry a hell of allot of speed through that turn and it can take a bit to dial in. I think that's the turn that separates the men from the boys.

I agree with "MteK", turn 9 will test your manhood!

Mr. 5 · 07-02-2009, 09:07 AM

It's been a long time since I've been there, but I do think I remember turn 9.
I drove a Formula 3 car there a while back and it was a blast.
I remember spinning a couple times.
It's a little different now since it's my own car.
