Tracktime4cars track day at Pocono East
 

Tracktime4cars is one of the track day clubs/driving schools that runs events in PA, NJ, and Virginia. I've been to two of their events this year and plan to do a few more. I've had great experiences with them so far.

I got an email from them recently about some special pricing for upcoming track days. They are offering a special on their track day for September 5th at Pocono on the Pocono East course. Its $150 instead of their regular $295. You get 7 to 8 20-30 minute sessions on the track. Beginner drivers that haven't done any track days or very few track days also can get one on one instruction from their instructors. They offer classroom and on track instruction for all beginner drivers and put the inexperienced drivers ont he track without the experienced drivers. They also have seperate track time for experienced drivers during the day.

This is the pocono East course highlighted in pink Its a 1.4 mile road course.

sweet ill be there!

Great price for some track time! I'm not much a fan of east course, but certainly a good and cheap way to get your feet wet!

Hope I can make it. Im trying to get out to these more.

might have to do this, i did the north track and loved it.

The East Course (to me) is like a giant autocross. Very tight, very technical, and not to high in speed.


IMO, North Course, and Double Infield, are my two favorite Pocono Configurations.

when is this?

"They are offering a special on their track day for September 5th at Pocono on the Pocono East course."

Is it special pricing for everyone or just for you?

I am so in.

Everyone. It looks like walk in registration costs are higher. The $150 is for those that pre register.

i should go to this.

hmmm... very tempting!

is the 150 price only for members of tracktime4cars?

i want to do this. Any thing i should do to get car prepared? Id be a noob on this and would be runnign all seasons

I live like 5 minutes from pocono, I'm going to come out to check this out. Not sure if I'll bring my car but I'll try to get Joe to bring his GTR.

Think of it like this: Anything and everything.

If it's your first time especially, you want to ensure you check over all of your fluids, and be sure to bring some extra of each. Another thing to look at are your brake pads...if you generic/oe replacment/ebc green stuff style pads, you are going to use A LOT of material. I would go as far as to say that you want at least 6/32 to 7/32 material left...and even that may be stretching it depending on the pad (what I'm getting at, is that you'll probably need to replace pads by the end of a day, unless they are brand new to start, or a track pad.

Take the time to jack you car up, and inspect everything. Make sure all rod ends and joints are solid, and that everything looks in perfect shape. Also ensure that your cv axles are in good shape if FWD (i'd assume so by your username) as well.

Lastly, you'll want to get your ENTIRE car of anything extra...floor mats, cd cases, empty the door pockets, seat pockets, center console, glovebox...because they're gonn make you remove it all. The only stuff you want in the car, is your helmet, your tools, spare parts/fluids, a pen, and a folding chair if you have one. Nothing else. Once you get to the track, obviously take that all out, and get your spare tire out as well, unless it's secure.

Aside from that, listen to your instructors, keep focused, and be safe. It's easy to get frustrated, while at the same time easy to get mad as well...remember, while you may be 'racing' in yoru head, it's only an HPDE...so there is no reason to risk yourself/car/other people by doing anything extravagant. Again, listen to instructors and take their advice...they are the PROs...


Like Jay Leno recently said, 'All Men think they are experts at two things...sex, and driving a race car....yet most men don't have much experience with either' hehe.


It would be neat to see that car on this course, simply because of the size. Great chance for him to get some time.

Anyone can sign up to be a member. You have to sign up to register.

Awesome thanks for the very helpful response.

Im now AWD in the legacy now and cant wait to feel how the car handles.

Hmm, I wish I could do this, but I don't think I'll have the money lol.
