Explore the performance envelope of your vehicle on a track that is both safe and challenging. You will get at least Four 20 minute sessions consisting of lead and follow and open track driving, as well as classroom before each session, throughout the day.

Intermediate: Pick up where you left off. We will provide instruction as needed and plenty of track time. The order of the day will be seat time and safety. You will get at least 1 classroom session and Four 20 minute open track sessions.

Advanced: You get free reign to enjoy the track limited only by safety. You must be solo qualified by Apex, another organization, or have a competition license.

Shameless bump. For those interested in one day with mostly exotic and special interest cars and not going to TWS, come on! There may be some extra interesting vehicles there

I would be up for it for sure, but as Kverges mentioned, the Indy race is that day which I already have tickets for. The Lemons race is that day too? Dang, when it rains it pours!

Well, everyone have fun - post vids from both events so I can watch 'em later.
