Official GT350 Track Attack Attendance Thread

No cost. You get memory stick of photos, a t-shirt, a certificate, a trophy, and some random swag.

Did you get the "chap stick" as part of your random swag ? I was humbled by that chap stick, finally gave it to my wife to open it with a knife. But I had a fun time driving.

Hah, I think I may have but I haven't attempted opening it yet - I'll be prepared with tools!

There seems to be a big disparity in instructors. When I was there last year I was in the fastest group and we were mid to high 130’s on the backstretch. The group I was in had a former Gt3 driver, myself, and another guy that was either semi pro or pro at one point. When my buddy used my other spot this past May the pace of the groups was much much slower. Some for obvious reasons. Some of the hot laps were down as well. Not knocking the experience’s at all, they were just different. It’s professionally done, and it’s obvious they take pride in the school.

I am thinking about driving my GT350 from Indiana down to NC for this class. Might be a bit dicey with the weather coming back Saturday.

I was in the fast group for the day and we got up to near 129 in the last session, so we were doing pretty well, but there was still plenty of letting off the throttle through the lap. Again, good fun, just for those who have tracked more don't expect a truly full-out lapping experience. I'll work on pulling the video together from my Track Addict app for the last session to share.

Agreed, nice parade laps even in the fastest group. If you try to push instructors, they get their feathers ruffled. If you have previous track experience or club race, you will not be impressed, but will get to beat up on someone else’s car…. (I am trying to be diplomatic)

Funny you should say that. When I booked the trip this past March, all I could think about is getting there, running the class and getting home.
Looking in my rear view mirror now, I’d find a way to stay an extra day or two just to try different BBQ hotspots.
Was working on retirement back then so it was not on my radar. I hate being rushed but that’s the world we live in.

If you guys can check out the Hendricks racing museum

Unfortunately they have been closed to the public for some time now.

It has been awhile since I was back there

Yeah, when I went in May, all the Nascar team shops were closed due to covid precautions, and Nascar rules. The Mustang museum was open, as was the Nascar museum in the city of Charlotte though.

I just received an email from the Mustang Museum today stating they just completed the fall car rotation.
I will be going this Saturday.

What a great time at track attack. The people were great too! I was the fastest slowest guy there.

I finally got around to putting up a lap video:
