Does anyone know if there is an age limit on the non-driving guests? My son, who will be 11 when my TA date rolls around, is itching to come along with me.

Participants must be at least 16 to participate in any activity on the race track and possess a current, valid driver’s license. Drivers under 18 will need to have a parental consent form signed on-site. The minimum age requirement is fourteen+ (14+) years to ride along on a demo lap.

I don't know if that means they can't ride along with you to each location though.

I called a few days ago. Only thing available was end of September, and that's a 2 day class only. Meaning you pay $1,700 for that 2nd day, or you can't attend.
They will take your name in case more classes get added.
I advise you to do so. Hopefully if enough of us are on the list it'll motivate them to add those dates.

Btw, for those that have done the track day, how fast on average do you get up too? I know rpm's are limited to 6K, and they want you not to go past 3rd gear. Not that I'm looking to go crazy fast, but I know even in 3rd and between 5k-6Krpm, I can easily get to 100 mph.

Inside track is 3rd gear they don’t want you to go lower, I guess if your going fast enough you could get to 4th gear. On the outside your in 4th gear. I didn’t pay attention to my rpms. My top speed was 128/129 coming out of turn 1 into 2, and slamming the breaks before the chicane. I was impressed how will the car screamed in 4th gear. They are big on telling you the cars are stock they have not altered them. I don’t recall them ever saying not to go this fast or beyond this rpm. They are big on you watching the road in front and beyond where you are going.

Ya 3rd inside, into 4th around 7500rpm on the oval. ABADHBT had about the same experience as myself but my top speed near the end was around 125. I had 2-3 laps left when my car crapped out.
You’ll be tempted to down shift into 2nd but I wouldn’t unless you have experience, could get away from you.

You are asked to keep 2-3 car lengths, so that the instructors can observe all 3 cars in the group. So, no drafting in the banking.

No rpm limit. You will be in 3rd and 4th gears on the roval. I hit mid 130’s down the long back stretch. The last session of lead follow the instructor lead us to that speed.
