    Please chime in. Will post this on Empire State as well.

    Just trying to get an idea how many people and their skill level we may be able to get for a track day at NHIS (New hampshire International Speedway, their road course, NOT NASCAR oval). Have NO DATE set, but just want a 'roll call' of those who would be interested in attending a track day at NHIS' road course.

    Price would be about $300 or less for the day is my hope. All depends on the amount of cars we can get. Instructors will be provided to students.

    FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR: PDF of NHIS track attached below. Video of a basic driving (not great) Ferrari 308 on tract at www.ispexperts.com/nhis090105a.wmv


    Roll call, show of hands...

    Would be primarily interested in a Ferrari only day WITH professional corner workers. If I want to do a mixed day, I'll just do one of the professionally run days already at NHIS.

    Track availability

    I just got off the phone with Steven who has been in touch with NHIS while walking through an airport. As we expected the track is pretty much booked solid from now until the end of the season. There are several dates available in early April. I feel as though they would be the worst dates to book for several reasons. 1, The weather, typically rain or even snow is very likely. 2, Its early spring and many drivers are still recovering from cabin fever and tend to push themselves and their cars too soon. 3, The track is "green" and there is very little if any rubber on the track, mix that with cool track temperatures = lots of accidents.

    We also have several late October events to choose from. Oct, 23. 25-26 and 30-31. These are all week-day events but they lend themselves to great conditions. The temp is typically about 60 degrees and sunny. Track temp about 80-90 degrees and a seasons worth of rubber on the surface. That being said we will book an October event. If the demand is great enough and if we can get some additional sponsors we will consider a 2 day event.

    What we will have access to while at NHIS. Complete use of the infield paddock area. One 12 bay garage area (free) 12 bays = 24 cars. If we get the demand for additional garage space we can add 12 more bays for 500.00. All garages have compressed air, water, power, and work benches. We will also have staff on hand to open the race fuel pumps should anyone require race fuel. Additional infield facilites include: Showers, restrooms, ATM and Classroom.

    There is a Red Roof Inn 8 miles from the track on Route 106. Our FCA discounted room rate will be $66.99 a night plus 8% tax. Concord NH is 10 Miles south west of the track with MANY resturants, hotels and other goodies. (Makris has the best lobster in the area.)

    Other considerations

    NHIS has a strict DB limit of 103DB. It is measured in 2 areas on the track. Exit of T-12 on to the main straight and just passed the exit of T-10 entering the North Chicane. If you are more than 103 DB you will be asked to muffle the car somehow or you gotta be very gentle on the gas exiting these corners ( I never said that though). Habbitual offenders will be asked to pack it up by the track not FCA track event organizers. Those of you with Capristo, Tubi or other exhaust needn't worry too much. The loudest race bike at NHIS is a buell pro-thuder bike and is annoyingly loud at 100DB. Unless you are running straight pipes with out any silencers you should be ok.

    Family and friends will have the same access to the paddock area as the drivers. Kids under 18 ARE NOT allowed in the hot pit area or pit road. Dogs must be kept on a leash and cleaned up after.

    For "driving schools" and "clinics" stop watches ARE NOT allowed. Timed laps = a competitive event.

    If anyone has any questions (no matter how trivial you think it may be.) PM me and I'll be happy to answer it for you.

    Thanks

    Scott

    At $150 a day with corner workers, it's a compelling bargain. I'm interested, but

    (a) I'm a student in need of instruction, and

    (b) My twin turbo 300ZX, while a capable track car, isn't a Ferrari.

    Gio,

    As we are only 96 hours from my idea to getting the contract, nothing is written in stone. Though yes, i admit my preference for a single marque event. As the event is months away, we have PLENTY of time so please give us time to see exactly how many cars we can acommondate and have been committed...

    Id be interested in attending a track day in my 360. I currently have 2 track days booked at NHIS for the upcoming 2006 season and may consider working with the Ferrari club to possibly use one of them for this event. Im a 10 year roadracer with 1000's of miles logged on motorcycles NHIS. Let me know how I can be of assistance.
