    Etc:

    This event is geared for those that have either NEVER been on track in their Ferrari or have limited experience and would like a low pressure introduction.

    Classroom Introduction and Q&A session

    Classroom Session
    Faster Lead and Follow
    Classroom Session
    Open Track

    Open Track

    Directions to the track: From Fort Worth, go south on US 377 toward Granbury. About 14 miles south of Loop 820, you will come to a traffic light at Highway 171 in the town of Cresson. Go straight another 1/2 mile. The entrance is on the left just before the divided highway begins.



    Vehicle Condition / Requirements: Safety is paramount. It is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle is capable of safely participating in this event. The list below offers a general list of important safety checks. This is a guideline only, and not a comprehensive list.

No sandals, no flip-flops. Clear your car of all loose items in the passenger compartment and trunk so they won't be tossed around while you are on the track.

    Steve... IIRC, last year's event was on the 1.3 mile course. Is it known yet whether this year's event will be on the 1.3 or 1.7 mile course?
    Thanks...T

    Jennie is registered! I see they will have other member sessions too, so possible I might bring the 355 Challenge to offer rides between Steve's sessions.

    Who can pass up the chance to be driven around the track by none other than the "Chuck Norris" of the Ferrari World, Rob Lay ????

    That's worth the price of admission alone!!!

    Yikes!

    I'm up for a ride along if you're offering. Will be good to see how a savvy vet attacks the MSR. Have only been to MSR once, for a PCA DE. I'll be there with my Cali...T

    I'm not sure what's up yet. Jennie has entered and never drove the track herself. I WILL NOT BE COACHING HER! I have a membership and will be in the membership group with the 355 Challenge hopefully. If Steve is needing more right seat "coaches" I can certainly help. My last year racing was 2011 and when I finish something, I'm DONE! I only got the 355 Challenge back out this spring in an attempt to kill Shawn (same as when I take him hunting or boating), so a little rusty. Luckily I can still talk like I know the lines and fast. ;)

    Here are my 1.7 lines. Remember I came from 110 HP RX7 all momentum and you tried not to use more track than you had to. This lap just under 1:20, my PB was just under 1:19 which isn't very fast anymore.

    A few notes:

    End of front straight up into rattlesnake I believe in the "Keith Verges" line come in mid-track, you don't need to start far left as traditional. Middle of track has camber working with you and it is hard braking into rattlesnake. That line allows you to brake later and deeper.

    Wagon wheel not sure if higher HP cars do better tracking all the way out to edge, but you notice I just go half out and that may be bad habit from RX7 days.

    Little Bend has always been my worse corner!

    I give up first left Boot Hill in order to be full throttle and carry extra speed through important back straight - Big Bend - front straight.
