Attention all you Scion drivers:
My name is Alec Cervenka and I am helping organize the first micro-car track event for 2008 and we need YOU! We already have a number of confirmed Fit and Yaris drivers for the day, but it wouldn't be fair unless we had some competition from our Scion rivals, the xA, xB (v1 and v2) xD, and the tC!
The event will be run by Speed Ventures, which is one of the more established companies for track events in California and we have worked out a plan so that every attendee will have a free transponder with their payment of the track fees. This way we can really see who is the fastest Micro Car out on the track! The track fees will be $150 for the day and this will secure the track so that we can have a Micro Car - centric event.

Track: Streets of Willow
Date: May 11, 2008
Price: $150 per person

So far, we have about 10 confirmed Fit and 10 confirmed Yaris drivers coming to the event and we thought it would be nice to see some competition from the Versa crowd.
Let me know what you guys think and we all hope to see you there!

UPDATE 03/17
The event has changed and is now open to all makes and models. However, if you send me your information, you will be run in the micro class with a transponder included.
The event is now being completely run by Speed Ventures, I will post the registration link as soon as it is available.

Holy crap $150 for this.. Is that just to race then? It's free to come and watch and do whatever else there will be there to do? lol

 

Haha welcome to track days dude. $150 will get you on to the track for a full day of timed runs, expect a few hours of driving, as that's what I've seen in my past experience. Compare that to autocross where you pay $30 for 5 minutes of racing, it's a pretty awesome deal.


Buuuuttt if you want to watch, Willow Springs charges $10 at the gate, and then you can come on in. Maybe start a car show at the track?

 

Bump for an awesome event!

 

Updated the first post with more info.

 

Sorry I've been really busy with work lately, but registration is up and running - glad to see some of you have already registered!
Here's the link:

Sorry, she's not a dude just wanted to point that out. Not meaning to come across rude if I did.


To OP, it's better to put threads like this in the correct regional forum and only in there instead of posting multiple threads for all the different types of cars. Hope you don't get reprimanded for that, but if you do consider this a good suggestion.

Looks like it's going to be a fun event, have fun all!

 

anybody signed up yet?

 

Wish I could make it, I'm all the way on the east coast though :[

 

I'm all signed up (finally..)

Everyone else get to it and to get the transponder, paste this in the Comments Section (step 8 of 14)

"In same run group as Tom Pham, include transponder."


For those of you who have already registered, send me an email (acervenk@purdue.edu) and let me know. I'll send word to Tom so we get you the transponder.
See you all there!

 

Also, be sure to download and fill out the Tech Form: http://www.speedventures.com/events/tech.doc
