Challenge Club Racing at Homestead Oct 16-17th

I'll b @ Vegas for Ford GT Meet

 

Thanks. I'll be there. Can't wait to see my friends from Universal.

 

They also have open track sessions for your street car for a modest fee with both beginner and advanced groups!

 

A few friends and I will be there on Friday.
We might do the open track session as well.

 

I'll be racing in the 355 class, having won the Championship this year.

 

Congratulations. Turn 1 will get your attention

You guys using all infield or banking too ?

Banking is much more fun

 

I have yet to track my Ferrari but I would love to attend as a spectator do you know if this is possible? if so do I just show up?

 

I love Turn 1!! Just a little lift, then turn in and full throttle!! I was lucky to have spent a number of years racing in TX and running the banking at TWS where T1 is very similar to Homestead T1 and Daytona T1, so I am comfortable at these places. Getting the braking and downshift done for T2 I found challenging though, I need to work on my consistency there. I've done 3 days in my Porsche here, so familiar with the track but still lots to learn.

We will be using the infield, so that also makes much T1 easier. (I have not run the banking there yet). Many of us had issues with blown tires at Daytona so safer to run the infield.

 

Yes, free admission. Come on down!

 

I am also looking to attend and not sure if I will track my car yet. Is there any info regarding the time that you need to be there in order to attend the drivers meeting etc....

 

i read on the website that cars need to go to inspection on the 15th or they will not be allowed on the race course

 

I was under the impression we are using the banking.

 

My team confirmed with Yulia we are not. (Though we still use the banked front straight and back straight with the infield configuration.) Who told you something different?

We had 14 blowouts at Daytona in the 430 class and a single blow out in the 355 class (me). I think it would be overly optimistic to expect a different result at Homestead if we ran the banking leading to T1.

 

DARN! I like the banking as it is much less than Daytona but the infield course is actually better for us 360 guys. Takes the advantage away from the 430's

 

Real Men run the banking

 

I have left three PMs on their Facebook page with questions about the open track sessions. As of yet, no response.

 

if anyone driving down south to homestead and would like to caravan let me know ill be going on friday leaving from the miramar I75 area

 

Sending you a PM with Yulia's personal email. Shoot her a note there.

 

anybody know the schedule for friday ,i can"t find it anywhere !

 

I forgot the exact schedule but I know there is more action on Thursday. Don't know why but CCR really drops the ball on promo and info. I like to follow them but it's always a chore to find any info or coverage.

If I remember correctly Friday is just on practice and a race where as Thursday has multiple practice session, qualifying and a race.

I'm headed down thursday.

 

Thurs:
Practice at 9am, 11am
Quali at 2pm
Race at 3:45pm

Fri:
Practice at 9am, 10:30am
Race at 1:45pm
Final practice at 3:30pm, but very few cars run after the race

 

ROB THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE INFO ! ....YOU RACING THIS TIME?/
