I just received word back from Mr. Winters, the Road Course Director, answering some of my questions. Check it out!


The registration form was used at the 7/21 school and was supposed to be blank where the date is when it went on the web site. Please just use that form and cross off the date. I'm working on having the site updated. once you and your members each fill out the form please fax it in to my office. If you are paying by credit card, your card will be charged on the date of the school. We will not be taking money ahead of time unless you just don't show up. Please bring your original registration form and tech sheet with you the day of the class, and if you are paying the $225 by cash or check please bring that with you also.

I would arrive around 8:30 so you have time to clean out your car and get it ready. We will be having class and open track time year round weather permitting at least once a week. As we start to get busier I will add more days per week. I will also be updating the calendar this week to add more dates for this year.

As far as payment goes the track only accepts Check/Cash or Visa/Mastercard

You will have some one on one time with your instructor as well as follow the leader type drills. Our object is to make you comfortable so you can go out there by yourself whenever you want.

There is a store about 3 miles away that sells food and has gas. I would come with a full tank of gas and you still may run out. The way I run my day you get a lot of track time.

See you Saturday

Hello everyone,


I wanted to send an update e mail thanking everyone for their great support so far this year. Some of you have even been to our events several times.

For those of you that came to our grand opening weekend and have been to our class/open track events you know that we have been using the shorter class course which measures about 1.2 miles. As of this week we have started to move our new race wall into place. This wall will divide the main straight away and the inner loop. With this new wall in place we now have approval to use the larger (much Faster) main 1.5 mile configuration. If all goes well with the weather this week I am planning on using this larger configuration this Saturday. Those of you that have already been to the track know how many configurations we have but have only been able to use the small configuration. I am very excited about using the larger track. If you were not sure if you were going to come this Saturday I hope this will change your mind.

For those of you interested in taking this all new class on Saturday, Please download the registration form off of our web site. Fill out the registration form and fax it in to my office as soon as possible because I am going to limit the class to 30 people. Bring the original registration form as well as the completed tech form with you on Saturday.

If you are unable to make it, don't worry, we will be keeping the track open year round Weather permitting. Keep checking the racewaypark.com web site for new updates and track information.

Hope to see you at the track soon,

Chris Winter
Raceway Park
Road Course Director




So it looks like it will be a 1.5 mile course instead of 1.35! Sweet!


Where's all the Scion Racers at? Hopefully not on the street
