Toyota free track day and NASA membership

[decodeddiesel]

@razorlab I'm going to the car control clinic on March 25th at LRP (on DWS-06+ lol), then a novice track day on May 12th, and another car control clinic on August 12th. I'll be at Thompson on June 10th, and July 22nd (if they're able to change it to Saturday). I'm probably going to do Palmer with Mass Tuning this summer too but I haven't signed up for anything yet.

I am really bummed out I missed out on my free track day in 2021 when I purchased the car. I was diagnosed with bladder cancer about 5 weeks after I bought the car and spent the rest of 2021 fighting it.

I'm making up for it now though as I just booked my 6th track day for this season with SCDA. I'd like to do at least 10 events this year.

I will look into NASA events around me as well.

So glad you fought through that and are making up for it now ? You are absolutely going to love the car even more after tracking her! Keep up the good fight ??

Awesome! I might come by on March 25th. I haven't signed up for May 12th yet but probably will.

So far, I have these days booked, but plan on adding more Lime Rock. I did 20 days last year. I'll probably do slightly less this year.

Palmer: Apr 2, Apr 22/23, May 21
Lime Rock: Jun 9/10
Thompson: Jun 11

My packet came in today. Now to pick a track. I've already done Road Atlanta, AMP, and I have Barber in April...

Homestead? HMMMM

(im in Atlanta so I'm not wanting to travel toooooo far)

You’re lucky to have RA as a home track. That course is so friggin’ good.
if You’re willing to do homestead, you should try Sebring. An oldie, but goodie.

I'd rather not lose balljoints to Sebrings bumpiness.

Don't drive a big heavy chevy then, and get better ball joints than SPL supplies.

It’s funny, I met a guy that just moved from Ohio to Naples, FL. Had a nice Porsche. Anyway, he said Sebring will now be his home track. I asked him if he broke anything lol. He said it was no where near its reputation and way more fun than he expected. I’d say that’s a pretty good assessment.

It’s also flat. So you or family can go up in the grandstands and see the whole damn thing. No purdy mountains or hills blocking the view of the entire track. This past weekend, my wife drove some of the inner track & bridges. Went to some of the far ends of the track. Fun watching from different spots.

There is also an airport connected to this massive former WWII military airbase. There was a helicopter show going on at the same time. Pretty cool seeing all the choppers flying around the track while driving. They have lots of other air events there as well. Makes you rethink who’s got the more expensive sport ?

Sorry if already discussed, but am I able to bring a different car to this free track day experience? I'm thinking I would rather bring the 987.2 Porsche Cayman rather than bringing a brand new GR Supra.

lol. No

I don't think NASA cares which car you sign up with. I will point out it is just a 1 day credit and I was told you cannot upgrade to a second day without paying the full day price for the second day.

Yeah, it’s a one day thing. Great group down here.

The website does not verify which car you bring. Select the event off the GR calendar, sign up for DE2+ (Non-GR) and bring whatever car.
HPDE-INTRO will be filled with GR cars, so it'll be sus if you show up in a caymen.

I know a few folks who had no issues doing this (NASA Northeast).

I tried to do that and they changed my reg to HPDE-INTRO 6mo ago or so. I bailed because it was like 3x 15min sessions on a Friday vs a single day Sat or Sun.
