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.

Are you serious? How does that matter?
I am going to bring my own helmet and race suit to eliminate cross contamination, but how is the brand of the equipment make the overall experience any different?

Because I want to see what brand is the official track attack brand.
Why the attitude?

I know it’s late, but I just started attempting to practice heel and toe down shifting today. Not looking good yet. I saw some vids and tried it. At the school, how much do they show you and how much time do they give you to get? Any pre track advice to speed up my proficiency? I go next week.
Thanks

There is one session where they work on it along with threshold braking. Don't worry about it too much, you don't need to master heel toe in order to have a good time at the Track Attack. The entire course is run exclusively in 3rd and 4th gear, so there isn't much shifting going on. Just two downshift points per lap.

Oh ok, thanks for the heads up. But I still do want to get good at it For the second day and future track runs. I want to maximize my vehicle's capabilities.

No attitude intended, sorry if it came off that way.
Have fun when you go!
