Collecting Interest: Rotary Specific Track Day at TMP or SMP



As I'm itching to take my 8 back out from winter...an idea came to mind.

Updated April 14th, 2014:
Based on the polling results, here is the current plan;

2hr session at SMP on Friday evening in May/Jun/Jul = $75 per person if and only if we get 20+ cars

in May/Jun/Jul/Aug

I will speak to SMP to see which Fri is available. Thank you for your interest & stay tune.

Thanks.
Rick

Thanks for everyone's interest. My apologies for being MIA for the last week as work got crazy.

I've got 30+ people interested and will be sending out a survey to those who provided me their email for to do some polling of Dates & Track/Configuration.

Base on the interest I've read so far, we have group that want to do track and so that just want to come out and chill. Both groups are welcome. I've got rotary junkies in the amateur racing scene that might bring their track monsters out. Please stay tune to this thread.

Thank you for those who has responded to the survey.

Top respondents like to have this track day on;

- Saturday (for a full day) at SMP for the cost of $70-130

Here is the current availability & rental cost of SMP;
- First available Sat is in late August 2014
- Cost for a weekend rental is $6780 (tax in)

2 options will be most likely;

Option A (82% Poll):
- Full Day at SMP on a weekend in August = $226 per person if and only if we get 30 cars

Option B (41% Poll):
- 2hr session at SMP on Friday event in May/Jun/Jul = $75 per person if and only if we get 20 cars


A new survey will be sent to get polling results.

You can take me off the list. I'm not interested in a 2hr session on a friday.

Thanks for the effort though.

Thank you for the update. I understand that some of the members want a full track. I am working with 'Sigma Time Attack' to see if there is enough interest generate to get a group discount on one of their full track days. Please stay tune.

With full track day in mind, the cost for the event will be increased.

Update: I've just received communication from 'SRTA'. If we could get 20 cars to one of their 4 full day TMP events; we could get a group pricing of $200 per car ($280 regular price) IFF we manage to get 20 rotaries.

Note; SRTA provides live leading board time and is support by Mazda Canada with cash prizes awarded to best lap time in its class.

Jun 16, Jul 6, Jul 27 & Sept 6

Please PM or email me if you're interested.

$200 per car is their early bird pricing as well so if you can't get 20 cars people just need to sign up a little more in advance.

Hi everyone,
Thank you to 5 individuals that has reply promptly in providing me with a number for payment for the proposed 2hr SMP track day in August.

Unfortunately, we do NOT have enough commitment to continue any further planning efforts. I'm happy to continue planning for a rotary specific event if I have the numbers, but I would need payment & commitment from at least 20 cars.

In the mean time, if you're interested in a open lap track days, you could check out

or Al's facebook page on Road Racing at TMP

All the best in your track experience. See you out there.

Rick
