Brazos River CC Track Day November 19
On Saturday November 19, Brazos River Corvette Club will again host a high performance driver education event at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson Texas (about 15 miles SW of Benbrook/Ft. Worth on Hwy 377).
This event is designed for novices and less experienced track drivers using their daily driver cars rather than for highly experienced drivers and race prepared cars. If you have a track prepped car and lots of track driving experience, this is probably not the event for you.
Only 25 total drivers split into two driving groups will be registered so the car count on track will be low.
The entry fee per driver is $120
To register, follow the link to the BRCC website and print a paper registration form and mail to the address on the form. http://www.brazosrivercc.com/PDF/trkday_reg.pdf
Sorry, no on line registration available, only old school paper.
While we will give preference to Corvettes, registration will be open to non-Corvette performance cars. High center of gravity SUV and truck type vehicles are not allowed.
This half-day event is not a race but rather an opportunity for you to drive more aggressively in a safe environment and to see how well your Corvette handles the track.
You will attend three classroom sessions designed to educate you on the dos-and-don’ts while on track, and to provide you with helpful driving hints to make your experience more enjoyable.
You will drive on-track in two lead-and-follow, no passing, low key sessions that will help you learn the track. During these sessions, family and friends may be passengers.
Finally, you will have two track driving sessions to go as fast as you feel comfortable. Drivers will be divided into two groups based upon track driving experience level. Passing will be allowed, but only on straightaways and only with the slower car giving a “pass me here” signal.
Other than bringing a helmet (rentals available) and a car that you feel safe driving on the highway to reach the event, no special “race only” equipment or preparation is needed.
However, some common sense vehicle preparation is strongly recommended:
• Any normal daily driving problems with the car should be repaired prior to the event.
• Coolant should be less than 5 years old and up to the recommended level.
• Wheels are properly torqued to factory recommendations.
• Tires are properly inflated and have no cord showing anywhere.
• Oil is at the recommended level. Non-dry sump cars should overfill per Chevrolet recommendation.
• Brake fluid is reasonably fresh (less than 5 years old) and up to the recommended level.
• Brake pads have at least one-third of their life remaining.
But most importantly, prepare to have fun. This is not a race but will be a great opportunity to have fun in your Corvette and then to tell tales of your driving prowess.
Please PM NealB with any questions.
