Default February 2017 Track Event at COTA

Hey all, I just got this note from MVP Track Time. I can't make this event, but know they run some great events and COTA is a great track.

"For the fifth year in a row MVP Track Time is headed to Texas. It’s time to sign up for three days of driving on America’s only purpose built F1 track, Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas. MVP Track Time has scheduled our 5th annual three-day COTA track event for February 24 – 26, 2017.

Now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the investment to play at COTA. The entry fee for all three days is $1,375, same price and 2014-2016. If you’d like to register for a single day or two days, contact me at (314) 249-3770.

Initially, as with our previous COTA events, this event will be for ADVANCED and INTERMEDIATE skill/experience drivers only. If demand warrants it, we may open COTA to novice attendees.

If you are in doubt whether you meet the Advanced or Intermediate criteria, call me at (314) 249-3770 to discuss your experience. There are a limited number of spots available for COTA. Yes, COTA fills fast.


STEP 1
The $1,375 entry fee for all three days at COTA can only be completed with Pay Pal (you can use any major credit card through the Pay Pal system if you don’t have a Pay Pal account) at the link below:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...=JQ3XJ9LSZHJUN


STEP 2
Once you have completed the entry fee, head over to the “Registration Page” of MVP’s web site (link below) to register. You’ll need to scroll to the bottom of the page to complete the blue outlined registration box. Click on the“Event”drop-down menu and choose Circuit of The Americas (COTA): February 24-26, 2017.

http://www.mvptracktime.com/id92.html


After we have allocated the registrations by run group, based on individual track experience, we will send out group confirmation e-mails to each run group. We will have four (blue, green, yellow and red) run groups allowing us to schedule two hours of track time daily.


In the spirit of transparency, the rental of COTA, as you can guess, is very expensive, so once you register, MVP will not be able to give you a refund until COTA is sold out and we have a replacement for you. If/when we can replace you, there will be a $100 cancellation fee. Inside of four weeks (January 26, 2017 and later) prior to the COTA event there is no refund. This is the expensive reality of renting Circuit of The Americas.

A ”Garage Rental” e-mail will go out when registration is complete. Each garage easily holds four cars, so there are plenty to go around, however, they are first come, first served.
If you have any questions, grab the phone and call me at (314) 249-3770 or you can e-mail Feffman@MVPTrackTime.com."

Glad to see MVP is going back to COTA. MVP puts on a great event and keeps the cost down. MVP is one of the best programs out there.

Hi all,
I’m going to COTA with MVP Track Time, from Fond du Lac WI - Road America if it’s an easier meeting point. Anyone interested in getting together for a “convoy” all the way there? It’s a long ride, but I’m sure between like-minded people we can make it fun, and what’s a better way to handle cabin fever? I’ll be leaving on Wednesday morning, February 27th, if you are from WI/IL and want to meet up, let me know. Looks like there are a few spots still available.
Cheers!

I went Sunday only. 2nd track day in 2.5 years...
1st time on COTA even though it is 29 minutes from the house...

only 260 HP, short shifting, trying different lines and braking early... Oh, not a corvette either.
MVP puts on clean, well run event.

edit. embedded vid isn't working

Thanks - great video!! COTA looks like a fantastic track!!

I've watched a couple of events on TV (F1, Lambo event), but it's nice to see your in-car view.

I've got to get out there!!!!

Hi Feff - thanks for the great pictures!! Looks like I missed an outstanding event!

I see you'll be running events at some great tracks throughout the rest of the year, but you're running an event at my home track, Daytona, Dec 8-10. I'm already looking forward to it!!

Uh Oh!! Can't see the video - it says it's "private". I think you need to tell youtube it will be a "public" video when you publish it.
