Track Time Calgary
 

Hi guys, as discussed at the July 14th meet, track time is being made available to us thanks to Revwerks.

Rhys has decided to only offer evening sessions, so our date would be Thursday August 18 5-10pm

There are openings for 22 cars, cost is 200 and includes hamburger/pop/chips.

Our local Audi dealerships are notifying so of their high end customers, so don't be surprised if you see an R8 or two on the track, it is rumored that the only R8 GT in Calgary may also join us.

This is being marketed through Revwerks as an Audi track day, lets have a good showing.

Please notify me (Ryan) via email Ryan.McGowan@jerbelautowerks.com if you are planning on attending. I will accept deposits on behalf of Revwerks or I can give you Revwerks paypal address.

Lets be sure to fill up the spots, this lapping session will be opened to other makes after August 11 if we don't.

Thank you Ryan for setting this up. I will send out a text message to all members just to make sure everyone is aware. Lets show our support and get out there everyone this will be a fun day.

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

is the price the same for members and non-members?

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Price is the same, but you should really consider becoming a member

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Ya I am already, paid a few months back

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Gah - I'm cursed for Calgary events! I'll be there 5 days before, and 1 day after, this event. Please post up results of how it turns out :)

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Maybe this will give me the inspiration to put my motor back together!

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Is there a spectator option for this event?

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Any news on being a spectator?

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

I've heard nothing yet. I haven't found any details regarding being a non-spectator either. Guess that stuff was covered at the last meeting.
When is the next meeting? Anyone have notes from last meeting and are willing to post?

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

As far as the track rules go Spectators are allowed but I think its something like $5 per person, not 100% sure though. It would depend on track rules for that event. The meets occur every second Thursday of the month, so the next one will be August 11th.

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Awesome. Ty Mirza.

I won't be able to make it out for the August 11 meet but I will try to get there for the track day. Depends on how much the kids feel like behaving that day :P

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Meets are the second Thursdays of the month at Stix Sportsbar. So that would mean August 11th.

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Spectators are free, deposits are $100

PM me or email questions

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

So far we have collected $0 deposits, I am hoping we see some action this week.

Plenty of people promising to be there, but no firm commitments yet

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Can't make a commitment until I see if my wonderful S is running well. It's on the surgeon's operating table still. Then it has to go for another appointment at the shoe doctor to get a bit of a wobble out. I guess it was inevitable for things to start happening to my baby, but why all at once. XS

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Looking for commitments guys, this may prove to be the most JDMish Audi track day ever

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Out of curiosity what are the track day requirements? Helmets, suits etc. ? Any training or race license required?

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Requirements

1-car in good mechanical shape (ie would pass a mechanics inspection)
2-helmet
3-long pants, preferably long sleeve shirt
4-a valid license

No race license or training is required, the events run with no passing in the corner, limited to only pass on front straight, this ensures no contact in corners

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Hi all - I am new to posting on this forum.

I would definitely be interested in becoming a member of the Calgary Chapter and participating in Track day. I see the meeting is set for this Thursday. Looking forward to meeting like-minded enthusiasts and swapping stories.

Cheers,
Marc

PS I'm assuming I can still sign up for track day.

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Track sign up is still available

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Hey Ryan, I'm in. Pls let me know how much the deposit is and how best to get it to you. I've got a couple more Audi guys here at work that I might be able to talk into coming as well.

Regards,

Dewey

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Thanks for the reply Ryan - can I catch you on Thursday?
Marc

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

I will be at the meet on Thursday

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Hey Ryan, I emailed you as well but maybe you'll get this first. What does the $200 include? (any driving lessions, etc) And where is it exactly? Any helmet will do (I have a cheap motorcycle helmet)?

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

All questions answered via email.

You need to bring a helmet, any helmet should do

There is no instruction, it is open track time, straight away passing only to accommodate novice drivers

The cost of 200 includes as many laps as you can get in in 5hrs ish 5-10pm and a burger/pop/chips dinner

I have 3 confirmed and payed

1-Scott 2011 Sprint Blue S4
2-Marc 2010 Black TT-s
3-Ryan 2000 Imola S4

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

I cry every time you guys bump this thread :D Sorry to whine - I'm just seriously pissed to be missing this. You guys who are on the fence should jump at this opportunity!

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Thanks Jeremy, we need all the support we can get

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

i may come, dont count me in for sure though. Im not sure how fun i will have with a audi a4 3.0L 6 speed manual.

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Ryan,
we keep phone tagging back and forth, sorry I missed your last call. My brother is most likely in as well, you know the non Audi Vehicle. Just gotta meet up with you and give you the money once he confirms

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

k, sounds good

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Track is fun, whether in a corolla or a lambo, but a 3.0L 6mt is no corolla

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

Well there you are Dewey! Nice seeing you at the track, hope to see you out at the meets. Camille says to say hi to Will.

Rod

Re: Track Time Calgary
 

good to see you too Rod, I'll pass along the msg to Will. Had a great time last night. Just going through some of the lapping data today from the GTech monitor. Pretty cool stuff, very mediocre driving ;-).

got a chance to make some 1/4 mile runs after the rain/hail when the track was empty. made a 12.94 @ 102.4 mph on one pass. fun to watch the replays of the data on my pc.
