Whats the cost of the event?

[SlowSwede]

What exactly is a high speed autox?

High speed means timed laps on the full BIR track - which equates to well over 100mph for most cars. The Corvette Club requires that you attend their school before participating in the high-speed event, unless you have prrof of prior attendance at a PCA, BMW, Russell, Bondurant or similar high speed driver's school. An SCCA or NASA racing license would also be acceptable.

I don't believe so for the low-speed event. However, I'm pretty certain it's required for the high-speed event.

You'll need to email or call Warren. Please post his reply,so everyone has the info.

Thx!

Ahhh. So it is essentially a track day/time trial. I did one of these through Track Time Motorsports, I will have to email them and determine if that is sufficient.

I don't even know how or where to go about getting a license.

[SlowSwede]

FWIW, that email address did not work.

There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server.

Full lap time trial. Never done this. This is an official lap not my buddy said I ran.

The low speed they run turns 2-8 with a few gates and slaloms in place to slow you down. I think you still hit 80+ mph. Very fun event.

[oldtoyota]

Roll bar required?

I don't think so. You are limited to >100mph on the straights.

You shouldn't drive without a license.

[SlowSwede]

funny.

I was talking about a competition license. Hopefully, Nasa will email me back.

[ricksellner]

100 will be 2 miles over what the mr2 will go hehe.

I'm guessing your track experience will do. If you run Friday they will let you run on Sunday from my past experience.

Warren's email address has changed to: snyder5053@msn.com

[oldtoyota]

I just got the flyer in the email.

[murph]

anyone get a response on price?

[Bob86ZZ4]

The full package price is something like $425.00. That includes everything except the drag racing and track touring. I think it might include the dinner but not sure about that. The drag racing will be going on on Saturday using the NHRA timing equipment. I can't remember that pricing.

God bless him and keep him safe............:) :) :)
I will continue to pray
