So there is another track day at the Shawano Track on August 13th.

I'm thinking about heading up there again. I had a blast the last time I went. It was an excellent value for the seat time. And a great course for someone like me who had never run on a track.


Just throwing this up here so if anyone is interested they can sign up.

Price is $65
4 - 15 minute sessions

I've been to these events in my 240, and just recently my AP2. The track is pretty fun. I rode with a guy in a Suzuka AP1 w/ suspension, slicks, etc.. he was freakin' fast. I think the AP1 is suited more for this track than the AP2, w/ 9k redline, and the short jints from corner to corner your not required to shift every single second.


I may go to the one in August, they usually have them once a month.

I would reccomend these events held at this track, they aren't very expensive, the track is decent, with killer elevation changes. ClubFR holds a lot of drift days at the track too. It see's a lot of cars not just carts. Check out the track photos:

I rode in that Blue Suzuka too. I almost puked my guts out after that ride.... But he was fast. And his veilside teardrop exhaust was going to make me deaf.....

Same Guy, but when I rode with him, the club prez. was playing cat & mouse with him in a DC2 with slicks, we couldn't pull away from him, he was so damn fast, thought he was going to rear end us, then when he was ahead we could barely keep up. Awesome driving on both of their parts. I was enjoying it until I started thinking about the, "what ifs" and as fast as they seemed to be going, what ifs didn't seem that far off. ie: no roll cage? Fun, Fun, Fun, though!!!

The car club is looking for a bunch more people to go to this event.

I can say, I'm definetly going. So if there are any other S2000's available on August 13th, come to Shawano.

Right now there will be "officially" 2 s2000, we need more S2K's and less oriental 4x4's....

and so.......BUMP!!!!

Tcho82 come on up!!!!!
Pushin9???

tcho82

Im a maybe. Not 100% sure yet.

I've also got a new camera mount that I've been itchin to use on the track....

But haven't found a compatible tripod head mount just yet...

patinum

I may do this

I might head up too. Is this morning only or will they offer morning and afternoon sessions?

tcho82

They've got an afternoon session as well.

raikouS2K

I can't afford tires right now so I only signed up for the afternoon session, right now it is 5 oriental 4x4's and a 240 and me, the morning session has more of a diverse crowd though. You can run both if you want. I would but like I said I'm a poor bastard who just got his S2000.
