Frank, I just emailed you. I'm in for this.

All VM people are welcome to join me in attending this. I was at the last one a couple weeks ago and it was an awesome day and Frank and his crew did an excellent job running it.

Thanks Kace. I've received your payment. Five spots already filled. I promise you lots of seat time!
Frank

**Kace** · 05-31-2007, 06:01 PM

Thanks Frank!

C'mon people...this is the type of thing anyone can absolutely love. Again, as I've said before, you don't need a race car or a highly modified car for this. There are a lot of stock cars there.

They have a great beginner level and the people at these events are very welcoming. I'll definitely be there to help any new drivers out the best I can, not that I'm an amazing driver, but it's so much fun.

10 spots filled. We do not offer instruction, but as Mike has said, people are very welcoming and if you show interest and want to learn, an experienced guy will gladly ride with you and give you some tips. On our May 6 event we had half a dozen driving instructors present (performance driving, that is) and I'm sure that we'll have a few present here. Just chatting in the setup area provides a lot of learning. If you want to see how your car handles, this is the place to be!

June 6 - 11 spots filled

**nissannx** · 06-12-2007, 07:53 PM

I was hoping to have a few more folks from Waterloo Region join us for this event. If you've got questions, post them up.

**Kace** · 06-15-2007, 04:31 PM

Any reason why there isn't any interest from VM???

As I said before, I'd be more then happy to help you out if it's your first lapping day. Plus, there's bound to be some amazing cars out there that are just fun to watch and may even give you a ride along.

**rough** · 06-15-2007, 04:51 PM

I'm going to go. I just haven't been able to give my deposit (i'm leaving for switzerland in an hour)

bringing the 280Z of course

I hear there will be a 240z and a 260z so I'll round out the bunch

Novice all the way!

**Kace** · 06-15-2007, 04:56 PM

Awesome!!!

Have fun in Swisse. Where abouts are you going??? It's one of my favourite European countries.

You'll have to take me for a spin in the Z!!!

Lausanne is where i'm told i'm going its about an hour east of geneva or so i'm told...never been before so it should be interesting to say the least/

I'm definately up for taking you for a ride in the old girl, she ain't super fast but its always a fun ride!

**Jimmy** · 06-15-2007, 07:20 PM

we'll see how the car is after putting it back together tonight and make my decision about motorsports for the rest of the year...most likely in

**nissannx** · 06-15-2007, 08:53 PM

Rough and Jimmy,
Great to have you join us. Lude Awakening probably going to be there too. There are currently 19 spots available. Lots of interest out there, I'm just looking for the dollars to hold a spot for you!
There will be lots of seat time!

**fixitmattman** · 06-15-2007, 11:58 PM

Was just looking through the tech sheet, how anal are they with that? I noticed the other day I have a few chips in the windshield

**nissannx** · 06-16-2007, 06:39 AM

Anal to the point that we want you to be safe AND we want everyone else on the track to be safe. A cracked windshield wouldn't be allowed. Chips - assuming we're not talking giant spiderweb pock marks - would be allowed. PM me, email me pics, or arrange to drop by and show me the car if you're in doubt. I live in Waterloo Region - and can meet up if you want to save EMT or PayPal fees.

On the safety front - everyone must have a helmet, driver's 18 and up, there is liability insurance through the track (but realize that your auto insurance won't cover a fender bender on the track), there will be a paramedic onsite all day, and we expect everyone to know and follow the rules. I also request that you don't show up at the track hung-over after partying the night before - such a driver wouldn't be allowed on the track. I've been at track days without rules - it's not fun. I want everyone to drive home at night knowing they've had fun - that won't happen if someone causes an accident. There will be $3000 cars and there will be $60000 cars on the track at the same time - personally, I don't want to cause damage to either! Plus my name is on the contract with the track and they expect a safe event.

Bottom line - Kace will tell you I'm reasonable but I won't let anyone put anyone else at risk.

Well, I performed a miracle this afternoon tranforming said chip into a full blown crack. New windshield in order now.

Solved that problem

Ouch! That hurts!

**nissannx** · 06-16-2007, 11:18 PM

Two more drivers added - 17 spots open

Edit June 18
15 spots open

**nissannx** · 06-20-2007, 06:25 AM

Just an update, there are 15 spots left as indicated above. Only 8 of those spots are novice and I won't put a novice driver into a higher group. There are a lot of emails, PMs and questions being asked (this is posted on several forums) and as you can see last weekend we filled 4 spots in less than a 48 hour span. I will not hold a spot unless money is down. Sorry, but that could leave me stuck. If you don't have the full amount now, you can put $80 down to hold your spot. Check the August 12 link in the first post for more info!

edit - only 14 spots open

edit - only 12 spots open

edit - 11 spots open

**nissannx** · 06-22-2007, 08:13 PM

8 openings; 6 in the novice group.

Edit:
7 openings.

**nissannx** · 06-24-2007, 01:15 PM

Experienced and Advanced/experienced groups are both full.

6 novice spots are available - experienced drivers are welcome in this group, but need to recognize that it may be a more casual pace.

Frank

4 novice spots available

**nissannx** · 06-24-2007, 09:18 PM

Two Left!

**fixitmattman** · 06-24-2007, 09:46 PM

Ahhh Paypal sent!!!

I know I wanted to see if we could meet up in person so I could save my $5, but with two spots left I kinda need to sign up now. I'm already getting enough grief from the rents about buying rims and tires, would really suck if I couldn't use them

**nissannx** · 06-24-2007, 10:02 PM

You're in

And now there's one.

Edit:
Sold out. Now accepting names for the wait list.
