Private run group @ Infineon - Oct 31st - LotusTalk

MontinolaRacing · 10-12-2008, 07:58 PM

Anyone interested in a track day at Infineon?

We are looking to secure our own run group at the upcoming Speedventures track day on Friday, Oct 31st. The goal is to limit the number of cars on track for quality track time and safer conditions for exotics and other high end sports cars that will be joining us. 5 Sessions, free timing, and we are limiting it to 15 cars.

PM me if you are interested!! Pro driver coaching available as well...

Mr. Know · 10-12-2008, 08:00 PM

Robbie, what's the pricing?

I probably can't run this one, but I have a friend who I owe track day info to.

Jack, I am already signed up but would love to join in the fun. I just PM'd you.

powerbookguy · 10-13-2008, 08:21 AM

i'm interested, pricing for sessions and coaching please.

MontinolaRacing · 10-13-2008, 09:58 AM

hi guys.. I've PM all of you

please let me know if you have any questions. our goal is to limit the amount of cars on track so our drivers can have quality track time to work on their driving techniques. but if anything, the speedventures price is a steal for track time at infineon.

hope to see you there!

if you want to ask another LT member about our coaching services, PM jonOrangeElise. He has done many programs with us.

Thanks!

I'm happy to share specifics with anyone (ask questions!), but in a nutshell, the instructors helped me shave about 5 seconds from my best average times at Thill. (And, in the process, I achieved my best times ever.) They were instrumental in building up my confidence for turn 8, got my entry speeds higher in a number of other corners, helped me work on trailbraking, and pointed out a few little "tricks" (for lack of a better term) to help me find speed here and there. I wholeheartedly recommend professional coaching to anyone who really wants to shave time. (I have decided at least once a year is worth the money for me personally.)

ryoung99 · 10-13-2008, 11:02 AM

That sucks, I am on the hook to drive the tractor for the hayride for the annual neighborhood trick or treating.

Any others coming up, my wife told me I need to get me and a buddy with his Z06 out for a track day real soon.

LarryB · 10-13-2008, 01:28 PM

Have a autox the next day (GGLC event 160 miles in the other direction). However will be at Infineon a week later.

Robbie- let us know if you get any more days like this coming up. Guess its about time I look into that karting series we had talked about earlier in the year, too.

MontinolaRacing · 10-14-2008, 09:27 PM

looks like we wont have enough ppl for a private run group...

but if anyone (or a few of you) is interested in pro driver coaching for this event, PM me. drivers can split a coach for the day as well.

i am available as well as a few of my coaches.

let me know if you're interested!

Mr. Know · 10-14-2008, 09:30 PM

Sorry to hear that. My friend never got back to me if he was interested or not...

no worries.. the event is pretty empty which should make for small groups..

loki · 10-20-2008, 10:51 AM

Details please. I'll probably be coaching at THill on the 29th and 30th for HOD but I might as well try to make a long "weekend" of it.

usurbrain · 10-27-2008, 05:10 PM

Thinking about signing up with Speed Ventures. Have never driven Infineon. Instruct at Thunderhill & Laguna though with unlimitedlaps. Looks pretty empty...
