BOSS Track Attack !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Track Attack !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes that. Really cool. I was not sure what TSA would think of it so I checked it in my bag. When I opened my bag at home there was a paper in the bad saying my checked luggage was inspected. They probably saw it on the X-Ray and what WTF?

I had mine in my carry-on and got stopped and pulled to the side and was asked to remove it from my bag. They called a supervisor over who approved it for carry-on. It must have been me since Fat Boss was in another line behind me and didn't get stopped.

Or Fat Boss' TSA dude is a gearhead who thinks carrying pistons in luggage is perfectly normal...

Is there a UPS store near by?

Sure...drop into Tooele and you'll be able to ship it home. Heavy as it is it makes for an uncomfortable carry on I'm guessing...

Cool Vids chuck....... I think I saw you passing me in one

Hi Rich,

I'm pretty happy with the GoPro on the suction cup mount. Does a decent job. I used the GoPro again at my local track (Summit Point) but could not use the suction cup because it was a Porsche Club event and they don't allow anything to be suction cup attached in the car. So it put a sticky mount next to the rear view mirror mount on the windshield. Got all kinds of camera vibration...very annoying. Not sure if it was the camera mount or the fact I lost a front wheel weight (discovered that when I changed brake pads this weekend). I should have known better and taped over the weights with metal tape as I usually do.

Anyway, I plan to put together a 10 or 15 minute vid that covers the whole Track Attack experience from the museum tour to graduation and the optional 2nd day. I'll include several stills from the thumb drive we got. Gives me an excuse to play with my video editing software.

Good video Chuck. I saved it to my Ipod to watch on the plane ride out there. I hoping it will help me become familiarize with the track.

Re: Track Attack !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched a few vids of track day on youetube do you think they will allow passing like ive raced all my life and if I get on that track there is no telling me going all out I am sure they may even decide to kick me out of there I am very very competitive. Do they let you race eachother?

It is a school not a competition.

If you have not control over your own behavior this school is not for you.

 

[jeepinocala]

Re: Track Attack !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No I have control just would rather it be more competitive type of day so what your telling me is you can go out there but you dont get to run these cars wide open? just want to clear all this up before wasting money on a trip to drive around whithout being able to see the absolute full potential of these cars so far from the videos I have not see any of them hit a rev limiter so I figure maybe they are restricted? Maybe someone that has gone can answer this for me.

It's not a competition. The last two sessions of the day are open track time and I bounced off the rev limiter several times. The MMP cars are setup like a LS and have TracKey installed along with PFC brake pads and Michelin PS2 tires. You are allowed to pass but only on the front straigtaway after a point by. I suspect guys driving flat out like you will be bored.

Re: Track Attack !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the second day they allow more passing, and while not out of control, is a little more liberal. I got the impression that the instructors are evaluating the class and will adjust accordingly (starters, placement etc).

OK you should be fine. If you've gone to more than one true driving school day you might not want to go. If you are just a very competitive street driver then you'll learn a lot and yes, oh yes you get to drive them as fast as you want.

You can wreck 'em too. Just make sure you bring your check book.

Re: Track Attack !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have Comp O w/Torsen/Recaro/Mats/Cover. I had a 2 '11 5.0s a 3.55 and 3.73 both 6m. This pony sure is a horse of a different color! ;D I'll get off my lazy A and get some pics up one day but so many have done it for me already!

@ArizonaGT I have some friends in Tuscon and Pearce. I'm thinking about road tripping the Boss they would love to see it. Maybe I can get the May 15 class. I'm from Jacksonville FL. We'll see what happens.
