I am still undecided, I think I am going to do another free session first. I also don't have a helmet yet, had to borrow one to do a ride along with Brian in the yellow boss last time.

The in car instruction you'll receive will eliminate doubt and increase drivers confidence.
I told many people many times, I feel more comfortable doing 130+mph on the back straight in traffic then 65mph on I75

registration and payment is open now

We have already secured 17 instructors for the event.
and this time the instructors are going to be in the car with you every session

Novice drivers will LEARN a lot of about car control, braking zones and cornering.

In my past life I was a go-to-the (drag) track every weekend kind of guy. But after one trip to ECR I'm converted _ it truly is a blast. The week after ECR I ordered sways, koni yellows, and camber plates! And I'm sure that's just the beginning. Ironic how my Mustang got me involved in this..

This is a great deal @ $150 -- I just found out there is a another event (at another track) this weekend that costs over double...

If you are going and have never been to a paid event at ECR, please make sure you fill out the track day application along with your payment. We are looking forward to seeing you out there.
