Well, the autocross module was especially rough on the instructors, since riding shotgun in a viper lends itself to nausea. I saw at least one instructor jump out of the car and run to throw up in Laguna.
You sound like my friend Bill, all he wants to do is become imfamous!! We did the Richard Petty Nascar thing last summer in Vegas and his plan going in was to put his car into the wall!! What an idiot. I said why? He said ... so I'm famous! Moron. Dave, luckily for you I don't think there's any weeds at LS for you to get into, only gravel traps, lol! Tam, what's better about it being run by RP now instead of SB?? Now that's funny. I suppose it's non-stop praying actually, lol!
Well, just keep in mind that SB specializes in autocross / roadcourse performance driving while RP is more about Nascar / dragstrip motorsports. So this means you'll get different expertise levels and different emphasis in different areas of performance driving and motorsports.
Well, I'm not planning on crashing but I bet I can get closer to the edge with their car than I could with my own...
They each have their strong points and we didn't get the whole drifting thing or drag competitions with SB, but yeah, I think the RP guys are a bit skittish about courses with lots of turns.
Hmmm, well, should be interesting then. Hey, it's enough for me to just be able to step foot on the hallowed grounds of Laguna Seca Raceway, being in a car and driving it (no matter how slow) is just icing on the cake! That place has so much history and legend it's literally heaven for a car guy like me. :worthy:
It's free with purchase of a new SRT-8 LX (and I think even the Jeeps :shok. Up until about mid last year you had 2 years to use it or lose it. After that it's 1 year to use it or lose it. You can go again or take a friend(s) for $500 a pop. I don't know if you have to have a VIN to register or sign up friends or if it's completely open to the paying public. I would assume so.
$500 to be an active participant, $60 to be a guest/observer. If you just bought an SRT, your first time is free.
the pro drivers take you out on the courses and make you wanna puke haha...and you get food and talks...not a bad deal if ya ask me
well, most of the day you're just spectating, but the end of the day you get to ride with a pro for a "hot lap"
they didnt let people in teh cars for other modules?...the spectators at mine got to ride with a pro on all of the modules...they even got to drift the "viper drive" module in a 300 hahaha
Hmm, again, I did it with SB and they may have done that, but it was usually toward the end of modules when they had time to kill.
oh yeah i keep forgetting...yeah the guys from RP would take people out during each module...how many people were in your group?...there might have been less in our group and thast why...we had like 18ish
yeah...we had a few that flat out refused to get in the car with these guys...or some did only once haha... during the "hot laps" the guys in the jeeps were getting off the ground! haha... i of course had to get in with our instructor who was driving the bad ass black viper :good:
I was there to day it was Great I won 2 awards to do some laps in a stock car with a pro!!! any one else there to day that I know?
