Let us know when you get your permit. We go out there all the time on Test & Tune Days. Right now they have there off season specials almost every weekend...

P.S. Nice to meet everyone who was @ Allison two weekends ago...

I'd be interested, but only if the price was reasonable. How much?

I'm not sure how much it'll be. How much was it for you 82NoMe? (if you don't mind). It probably won't be cheap. I think normally, the cost for the class is around $400. That will be discounted based on how many people get out there on one day to take advantage of a group rate. This 12/8 meeting I think is being rounded up by Infinite Velocity Motorsport, so hopefully there'll be other people out there to lower the costs. If you guys are remotely interested, you should come out even if you don't have enough money. You never know if they'll let you just participate and do some fun stuff at the track. Or they might cut us a deal that might put it in your price budget.

Hmm, I might just do that. How much is it to run after you have your permit?

Hi all,

The RFR (Reno Fernley Raceway) permit is $295.

While is not cheap it is probably the best Driver Mod you will ever make.

The permit allows you to go and drive your EVO the way is meant to be driven. The class is all behind the wheel. Starts with a slalom course, then some Auto-X type laps. Then in the afternoon you running the big track.

Check out how good we got it. For comparison to another track that I have a lot of time at., Sears Point.
Sears Point (Infineon) a full track day is $500 & a half day is $300. They have one configuration.

RFR is charging only a $100 for a full day now. They have 15 configurations and from my experience a fraction of the participation. The last time I went out I was with Two buddies and another Vette.

also....i kinda regreted getting the permit., during the winter, its good cause all their test and tune days were on the weekends, but then during summer it was all during the week and i never could go., the poeple that do track days during the summer charges about the same price as the RFR test and tune days charge....so i think this year, im just gonna go with the track days...and those are on the weekends too.....

Thanks for reminding me about the helmet. Good thing I got one when I ran <13 secs at Fallon. And it'd be cool if you rode with me. It'll be good to see you out there.

I can usually take off work on weekdays if things are calm, so I think it would be worthwhile for me to get the permit. Besides, I'd like to see what they teach in terms of driving technique.
