So Cal Yaris people - Interested in a track day? - Toyota Yaris Forums

largeorangefont · 05-01-2009, 11:06 AM

Hey guys, I'm thinking of having a track day at Horse Thief Mile, probably Saturday June 13. This would be a low attendance event, so expect around 4 hours of track time.

Anyone interested?

If I can get around 30 people interested, I will book it.

It will be around $150 per person.

4 hours? Is that enough time?

or

Depending on cost, I would be interested.

Yes. Horse Thief Mile is the track above Streets. It is 1.1 miles and it is like driving a mountain road. Lots of elevation change, and it is a good track for the nimble Yaris

Are there extra expenses for you besides renting the track?

Ride and drives requires insurance

Yes.

Insurance, flag crew, and fire/rescue on standby all day. With 30 people I'm about breaking even.

I would be taking care of the on track insurance. You have to sign your life away when you enter the facility as well as give them $10.

If you guys are interested AND willing to sign up, please let me know or say so in this thread.

I'd have to do this through PayPal, and need to make a decision in the next week or so.

Excellent! I ran it in my RX7 a couple months ago for the first time. It is a lot of fun, and a good track for the Yaris.

LtNoogie · 05-03-2009, 02:29 AM

I'm in. Any rules about fire suits?

cali yaris · 05-03-2009, 11:54 AM

Best to start a list on the first post. Remembering the "Fit vs Yaris" track day disaster though, I wouldn't get real hopeful about getting 30 participants.

I'm not hoping for 30 Yaris participants. I am getting the word out on other forums, so if this happens, expect other cars as well.
