We will be hosting more track events in the future. I'll be sure to update you guys as I receive more info.

Default Let's keep the kids out of the canyons

Video was nicely done, track day rules were a bit stringent from what I heard (1 wheel off=black flag) but then again there were a large number of noobs on track and maybe they need to be protected from themselves. Didn't see any Z's, of any kind, and would like to.. next time maybe. Locals that should track are skeered of fluid, pad, and tire expenses.. what they don't know is they pay less for all of the above (and free oil changes if they do well) if they come out with us, especially if you sponsor a spot for them at an event. Why not post a bonus for those that buy from you so they know that they'll get a free track day with a reasonably substantial purchase? Give enough notice that the parts can be installed prior to the event (e.g. late fall/cooler temps). They'll be welcomed by the regulars and become better drivers on the street, guaranteed.

Thanks for the feedback! We did not have much Z's come out, but I'm hopeful that will change with our next track event. I will definitely take your suggestion into consideration and work out a promotion for the forum guys and fellow enthusiasts on the next track day event.
