Central Florida Track Day

Fast car enthusiasts,

I'm putting together a track day before the end of the year at The FIRM. It's an awesome 1.6 mile track in near Ocala with lots of open run off areas an very few walls (see track pic and vid).

This will be a very relaxed day with fewer than 10 cars.. no rushed 20 minute sessions, no pressure, no passing, no stress! Just a group of guys wanting to push a little harder than you can on public roads. The track will be open all day and you will be free to enter/exit the track at will.

Proposed dates are Dec 22,23,28,29 or 30th. I'll pick the date with the highest interest.

With 10 cars the cost will be ~$300 each.. but if that is a deal breaker.. a donation to the cause is all that is required.

This is a video of the track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb_bkSTiRjg&feature=youtu.be

Please PM me if you would like to join and provide your preference on the date. I will respond with more details.

Looking forward to an amazing day enjoying our cars.

Sounds very interesting and I like the format. Unfortunately I can't get free those days. If you decide to do this again in the future please post info here. I will try to join in. I will also let some other cars guys know.

Is this open to all sports cars or just certain makes?

 

All makes, models, religion or race (that's a funny).

Will let you know the next time I do it.

 

I sent you a PM...

Depending on date(s), I may be interested .....

 

Responded.

 

Going to be at FIRM all day tomorrow with 18 cars...I'll see if anyone available for a repeat next week!

 

A bit short notice for me, I'm afraid, but I would love to join you if there are plans to do it again in January or February.

 

Thanks Rob! I'm locking in the 23rd. Let us know how it goes today.

 

If it goes well.. we'll definitely do it again.

 

We are locked for the 23th. If you want to join please PM me your email address and I'll send all the info. I'm going to be keeping this to a very small group of cars so first come first confirmed!

 

Had a great day there today...very nice people and a fun technical track...not high speeds, but fun nonetheless.
I did have a moment though when hit the brakes hard at 120 mph and the pedal went almost to the floor...boiled the brake fluid.
😬

 

Holy crap! I've done that before at Sebring.. not fun at all.

Any pics, any fun facts you can provide? any advice to the group going next week? And lastly, anyone from the group today want to join us?

 

BTW/ we have 1 more spot open to keep us at 10 cars max.. I have several people that are maybes so if you still have interest.. please PM me.

 

Pix are on on FIRM's Facebook page...just google FIRM, Starke, FL...mine is the red/black Italia...

I asked...everyone did their track day today, and next week is family holiday stuff...sorry

Advice: need pants, shoes, long sleeve shirts...bring lots of water (today was 86F at the track, no shade). Have fun, great relaxed atmosphere, no stress, no egos.

 

I believe these are you...

never made it to the FIRM, I'm kinda bummed about that

Thanks Rob! Wish you could join us next week but we'll definitely do another day early in the new year.

Happy Holidays!!

 

I am about 45 minutes south of Ocala and would love to come, but I don't think I can make it that day, maybe I can come as a spectator for a little while that day.

Keep me in mind when you do it again!
Alden

 

We'd love to see you there! Stop by for sure.

 

I'll stop in as a spectator also. What time do the gates open?

 

Gates open at 7, we won't be on track until 9ish

 

Hi Jasone,
Just wondering how your track day went?

 

It was everything I hoped for! A perfect day with great people, cars, food and most of all WIDE OPEN TRACK the entire day.

Every Lap looked a lot like this one.

Excellent!
Fun little track.

 

I was passenger with Jasone for one of the laps--my head is still spinning! I used to think I was fast.........

 

Looks like fun!

Sorry I had to miss this one, maybe, no definitely, next time!
