We went to Turbo-charged's track rental a few weeks ago, I may have only been able to make 1 pass because I broke the tranny, but I had time to learn more that day then the past 3 years of racing.

Thank you Joe for inviting us! Once I get this cast off we will be interested if you have another one.

I obviously won't be racing for this event but Shawn will be driving my car. We have made major changes since the last time she went down the track. I'm going to suggest to Shawn to get in on the rental if there are still spots available.

Bo,

I called you yesterday and wanted to leave this to remind you that I will be coming down Friday to test.

Thanks, Matt

I went to a track rental with Inline Pro a few years back, and let me tell you, it is an AWESOME time.

Like toubaby said, you really do learn alot and get to really focus on your driving and what changes you need to make. just Being able to casually walk out onto the track when no runs were made really gives you an appreciation and understanding of just how STICKY the track really is...

I would love to hit a track rental again sometime soon, just not yet, more work to do

Just stand on the highway with a sign that says "MIR or BUST"

Someone will scoop you up.

which probably means 2-3 people. Our track rental was a disaster, Joe and I had to come out of pocket a lot of money because people who said they were coming did not show up. If I were you, like Joe said above, get the money before hand, or you are gonna be left in the dirt when 4 people who were told $100 each show up, and you are stuck covering MIR's $800 minimum.

Oh yeah, and sometime that you might want to go over with everyone who says they are coming is that the track only preps a certain amount of feet, and then they charge you for VHT for whatever else you want prepped past the 330'.

Just some advice...
