Redline is having a track day Friday, 13th at Street of Willow springs. I was just wondering if anyone else is planning on taking the day off to go.

Almost a 5 hour drive for me. To long Senior!!!

 

I want to..but I don't think I can get the day off

 

yeah man i think im going down, but i wont have my z yet. ill be driving my bmw...

 

i would go if it were a weekend. a lot of redline events are on fridays. personally, i like speedtrial usa. cheap and always on weekends.

 

speed trials = Ned Flanders track event

all i care about is track time and how much i pay for it. most the time, i have an open track to myself with little traffic

 

Excellent day for driving (except for one person there). Here's are some pics.

Not too many people there on a Fri. 3 run groups of about 8-10 cars each. 30 minute sessions. Redline even allows you to have a passenger.

How well are redline track events run? Im used to going with speedventures, and they are a very mature group, but also fun and safe. I dont want to go to an event where people are out of control and drift every corner and other things like that. Any opinions would be appreciated.

 

redline and speedventures are very similar. relaxed bunch of people. not too stringent but will take you off if your stupid. speed trials on the other hand doesnt allow passangers has a better setup for first timers id say. they are very stringent with passing and what not. iv ran with all of them and i give the nod to speedventures.

Man, I don't know why but Streets of Willow always looks SOOOOOOO slow on video. Looks much faster in real life, and especially in the car.

 

I can't vouch for the redline events in general, but the one I went to
I would say the people in the advanced group were very good drivers. A few of them teach or used to teach at skip barber. The intermediate run group was kinda crazy, just like you described, but only one or two people. Most were fine, but a couple were pretty wild, spinning out multiple times and one even went through the fence. There was no major drama in the beginner's group.
