***Official Ohio Chat Thread***
Enough of this trash talk about tracks...hahahaha....here's some real solid information I received from the Nelson Ledges track office manager:
As most of you already know, some of us were planning to rent Nelson for an entire day. They can only offer weekday (Monday - Thursday) this season. For Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we have to book it for 2007. Screw that.
The cost will be $2500 to rent the track alone. In addition, we have to purchase liability insurance as a group and hire an ambulance on stand-by ($55/hr). I guess the total cost should be around $3000. Unless you're driving a convertible, you can use your stock seatbelt and a helmet.
I suppose if we have twenty cars participate, the cost will only be about $150 per car. But weekday maybe difficult for some of us. What do you guys think?

Edit: "Your honor, I drive an Evo" Judge: "Let him go"
That's how it would be if I was in charge...

This year is going to be crazy with all the mods people have done in the past year!!!!
we're working on getting a bigger MAF housing

...Bobby, a little help?
Talon - did you get a speeding ticket or a reckless operation?
If it was a speeding ticket, you go to court, the Magistrate (not a judge), says slow down, you plead guilty and you get a fine, court costs and 2 points.
Where did it happen at?
I went to court back in February for a speeding ticket of 71 in a 35.

It happened on 82 in Royalton/ Strongsville.
What'd it cost you?

Nelson frequently have "Fun Days". These are track days open to anyone with a helmet. You can drive anything from stock cars to race-prepped machines.

You can sign up to race, time trial, or HPDE (High Performance Driving Event).
From what I can tell, the HPDE is just going out for some track time... don't f' with me and I won't f' with you type of thing. You're not really racing anyone, just getting some time on the track. I'll be there Sat and Sun (22/ 23) and the HPDE there are four sessions of 20 mins each day.
Anyway, shoot me a PM or something if you want more info.
