Official GT350 Track Attack Attendance Thread

[Bird of prey]

Sorry just now seeing your post. I’m back at the hotel. He did mention that it was definitely moving to Charlotte next year, but that’s all he relayed about it. It was hot today upper 90s. But still had a blast. Glad I got it in this year, while it’s still close to me.

I was told by FPRS that they are phasing out the Boss 302's.. once they make the move to North Carolina, there will be no more full-on race cars like the BOSS available for rent! So those that are scheduled in the last sessions in Utah will be the last ones to run the Boss 302's. According to the representative I talked to at FPRC, they will only have GT350's for day one and Mustang GT's for day 2!

I would assume they are going to prep some newer mustang GT's moving forward, but that's just a guess on my part....

Just got an email from Ford performance - they are selling 14 boss 302s from the school. 45K

Wow, so I wonder what they will offer for a day 2 option if anything.
(the GT was fine but most our group opted for Boss302's)

I've done both. I didn't care for the GT. The Boss was a much more track focused experience.

I had something come up. Is anyone attending on 9/22-23 or 9/24-25?

I'm sure you're more experience than I am (and hopefully don't have a bad lower back like i do) but the hot lap with a pro in the GT day 2 on the west track taught me they had a lot more to offer than i could take advantage of. Either way it looks like the Boss won't be a choice next year.

Would anyone advise bringing your own helmet to this event?

I wouldn't - just another thing to have to keep track of as you bounce from cars to class many times. Plus if you opted for Boss Mustangs for day 2 you need the Hans anchors. No damage and the right Snell rating is an obvious req too.

Dunno about you by my helmet/head hits their rollcages (I'm only 6'). Its nice when the wear & tear is on their stuff - you're already paying for it. JMHO.
Anyway have a great time - its hard not to.

I brought my own helmet and neck brace and used them without issue. I’m grossed out using helmets that aren’t mine - even with a balaclava.

A guy in our class last year brought his own helmet and they wouldn't let him use it. Didn't meet their standards

 

[Rael]

I brought and used my helmet, and yes, it got a ding from the roll cage, but that happens; and it fit me best.

I just got back from Track Attack. Like everyone else has said, it was an absolute blast. It is definitely worth the trip!

Attended 2 weeks ago. Had a great time. Met some great guys and gals. My wife came as a non-driver and she enjoyed herself.

For future attendees, if you get the video, remember to make sure it turns on. Mine missed recording the afternoon sessions. Most likely user error.

On another note. Utah is great. We made a vacation out of this trip visiting a bunch of National & State parks.
