It’s really hard to explain what a track event is. It’s not racing. It’s simply driving your car as quickly as you feel comfortable doing. At a track event you get to drive your car for 30 to 40 minutes as fast as you can go, or as fast as you want to go.
Rather than spend a lot of time trying to explain a track event we’ve decided to give you a chance to be a part of one. A half dozen of us run with Chin Motorsports on a regular basis. You’ve seen all the pictures in the newsletter.
On March 8th the Everglades region of PCA, along with Debold Performance, will be providing lunch and offering rides around the Homestead Speedway. Everyone is invited to come hang out with us at the track. Even better join Chin Motorsports and you can drive your own car at Homestead. Debold will be able to provide trackside support should you need help.
If you just want to eat the food and hang out it’s free. If you want to go for a ride in a GT3 Porsche it’s going to cost you $20.00 to register with Chin Motorsports. If you want to actually drive it’ll cost you about $300. For $300 you’ll get three to four hours of track time.
Chin Motorsports usually lets everyone take a touring lap of the course during the lunch break. That means you’ll get to see parts of the track up close and personal – even if it is a little slow.
If you just want to see what it’s all about we’ll have a caravan heading over to Homestead Speedway on March 8th. The gathering spot will be the first rest area on Alligator Alley (I-75). The group will leave the rest area at 8:30 am. It should take just a little over 2 hours to get to the Homestead Speedway. Of course you can drive over on your own if you wish. The food will still be free.
