Greetings
As many of you already know, we can rent the police training track in Dublin that they use as part of the academy to teach pursuit driving. It is pretty big, essentially a giant piece of new pavement that is approximately 1/4 X 3/8 of a mile. They have a zillion cones we can use and a skidpad we can flood if we want to. The cost when compared to renting a road track is really low. They provide the insurance policy as well, so we can go and play secure in the knowledge that no one can use the "Lawsuit Lottery" against us.
We can do an autocross, drag racing or skills school (or all three, for that matter) at a venue that is less than 10 minutes from the Athens. To rent this baby for 8 hours is only $500-, very reasonable compared to the $6000- to $15000- it costs to rent the other tracks. It doesn't hurt that we might meet the local Deputies as well and maybe find a way to do a little local community service to their toy drives or other events, especially if you like to go fast on Santa Rita Road or wherever.....
All I am looking for right now is the level of interest in the group. Please do not reply to this email from the hinterland telling us how cool this is, we already know.... If you want to know how to do this in your community, send me an email.....
So, a show of hands? I think we could do at least 25 cars and maybe more... it will be cheaper than the gas bill....
here is the url - they have some nifty videos:
