Official GT350 Track Attack Attendance Thread

[lonegunman]

I'm sure they were not spoken by you. It was announcing a future purchase. I'll edit that out of the comments if you like.

I know there are plenty of sports car guys who buy and sell their cars often so this is just one car of many and they'll sell it when the next cool thing comes out. I tend to keep mine long term and like Mustangs in general. I really like my GT350, if it dies from engine stroke and I have to post a sad warranty story I'll be totally bummed.

by the way, people fighting / arguing on the Internet is hilarious.

I took Voodoo GT350’s comment to mean that it is unfortunate folks attending a Ford-based performance driving school have to talk up their more exotic German and Italian car preferences. Nothing wrong with having those preferences, but maybe don’t talk about how the p-car is so much better than the car that brought everyone together in Charlotte. I admit my interpretation is partly based on personal interactions.

Agreed, thanks for the insight into what to wear and bring...among other things, I hadn’t even thought about sunglasses until you posted about it.

Voodoo GT350, what part of MT are you in? I’m a MT native, in the Denver metro now. I’ll see you there 8/6.

Im in Sacramento and head over to Carmel quite often. Whats going on at Laguna on August 28? Is November 27, the Turkey run or something like that? I am always driving the GT350 to Carmel, and could meet up. Jess

Shorts and a t-shirt is all you need. It will be hot as hell in those suits. The worst part is waiting in the cars, helmet and hans on strapped in. Once you get going you forget about the heat, but waiting is the worst. I brought an extra shirt, but if you have a dry fit one it will dry out over lunch. I brought my racing shoes, but also some slides to wear during lunch. I sweat a lot, and lost a bunch of water weight over the two days. Drink lots of water and power aid and you will be fine.

Currently have been in Missoula for 4 years and I spent 5 years in Billings before that. See you next Thursday!

I’ve posted this before but figured I’d post again for everyone who didn’t see it 3 months ago. This was my experience at track attack. This might answer some of your questions about what to expect.

Cool video, thanks for posting! It answers many questions!

HoD is beginner oriented but that works fine for me until I'm getting slowed down in their advanced group (which I'm not). Only things I would say there are to know about them that you can't find from poking around online would be that there was an enormous amount of Porsches there (probably 50% of all cars) and the level of service from the HoD organizers far exceeded my expectations. Whatever they claim to provide online, they provide that or more.

Anyone hear anything from their home states about travel restrictions requiring quarantines / negative tests? Looks like Mass is issuing new rules starting 8/1 requiring negative tests or 14 day quarantines after travel to high risk states....NC being one of them...

14 day quarantine is required here in NJ after traveling to NC.

I don't have enough PTO to do a 14 day Quarantine and I'm not 100% sure I'd even get a negative test result in time to return to work the following week.... What a mess.

I just got back from Charlotte and had a great time. I was a little worried about how all lead-follow would be, but it turned out to be pretty fun. They broke everyone out into groups based on the instructors judgement of skill and that meant everyone got to go at a pretty good clip relative to their comfort zone. Definitely worth the trip. Even paid to have my wife come as a guest driver and she thought it was worth it, only she wishes a guest upgrade to a GT350 would have been possible. We both drive our GT350 and I offered for her to take my spot on many occasions, but she declined and said the GT would be fine. She told me afterwards that she wished she had more power out on the oval and should have taken the 350.
