After talking with a couple of members of North Texas Mustang Club at the Ft. Worth Auto Show, I think would could garner enough interest between all the local clubs here in DFW to hold and afford an private track day

A private track day is easy enough to do as long as you have enough members to committed to attending.

yes i think a pay in advance thing would be required on that just to ensure the attendance and stuff

We've done it before. It's not too hard. I know the owners of Northstar pretty well. Just holler at me when you want to set it up.

That day was the most fun I've ever had at the track. It's a good learning experience. We should definitely do it.

I'm totally in. Just let me know when y'all want to do it and work with me on my schedule too cuz I'm about to be super busy, so I'll need a good lead time to be able to have that day free.

i think if you could get 30 cars we'd be good.

**DirtyD** · 12-10-2012, 05:07 PM

Yeah, I think doing a full track day with 30-40 cars, that would be perfect. That way there is always someone running on the track, while others are able to test-n-tune their rides between runs and during cool downs. most optimum use of time, and hopefully not a ton of people wait, and waiting, and waiting.

I drove by the event yesterday around 2 and kept on driving. Holy Hell that line was crazy.

Wasn't exactly what I was expecting.

**Taxman** · 12-10-2012, 05:53 PM

If I remember correctly, it costs them a little over a grand to operate the track for a day, so they make nothing until that number is hit. When they did it for our car club, they charged us $10 a head to get in, and we did a picnic there, so they didn't have to man the concession stand.

They were more than happy with how things turned out and are willing to host another event like that. If we were to schedule ahead of time and offer $15-20 to get in, I'm sure they'd be willing to do that for the two clubs (or more) to have a private track day.

If y'all want me to start feeling them out about it, let me know and I can get some specifics. Are y'all talking about doing it soon or after the cold passes?

Time/weather/holidays are going to be the huge factors right now in planning an event.
