    I've never tracked before, but I'm in if you guys can teach me the "rules" and such. :D Cornering the twisties is one thing but a track with other drivers is another.

    NF is looking for anyone who may be interested in helping out for this event. It is a great opportunity to check out the event and gain a better understanding of what happens at a driving school like this.

    Sign me up please. I messaged Derek on FB but maybe it will be easier on here. Please let me know if there are still spots open as of now. Who do I pay :D

    First time nooby here so not going to know what to do. I guess my buddies can tell me otherwise. :)

    There is one spot left and the only way to nab it is to check out the GrimmSpeed event this weekend. NF has donated the final spot for the MNSubaru / GrimmSpeed Swap Meet.

    Just realized the kiddo will be at his dads next weekend. I don't have a track worthy car at the moment, but I'd be happy to help anytime after 5:30, possibly earlier just let me know what's needed :).

    FYI. We do have access to a room indoors for tomorrow. We are not going to grill due to the weather. We'll have pizza and beverages inside for everyone.

    I've stated this before, but it may bear repeating, being comfortable, warm and dry, goes a long way to driving well. It helps keeps you focused on the task at hand.
    If it is raining, it will feel colder that the thermometer states, dress accordingly.
    If you have rain gear/water proof gear, bring it. ( a cheap set of rain gear is priceless, dig out the ski/snowboard gear)
    Dry shoes. Keeping your feet dry will go a long way to overall comfort.
    Stay hydrated. Even in the cooler temps, this is important.
    HAVE FUN!!! See you all Friday!

    Is this much of a spectating event? My mom is all excited to watch me drive as she is a fan of driving my car too! I'd prefer you say there is a rule: no moms allowed.

    I would like her to come, just so I could make conversation with her about how proud she is of you and ****....maybe get some embarrassing stories out of it from her too.

    My momma came to one of my track events and I took her for a couple ride alongs :D She was freaked out when she first arrived and saw cars zipping by ("This is a lot faster than that parking lot stuff you do!") and then proceeded to willingly hop in the passenger seat. Oddly enough, she got less car sick when I was driving faster :confused::devil:

    It's going to be a good time tonight. Check your brake fluid, oil, tire pressure other fluids... EVERYTHING out of your car, trunk, glove box, center council. No Floor Mats, or anything loose can be in your car. Bring a waterproof container if you need to leave stuff out in the parking lot!

    I suggest a 2nd pair of socks and shoes to keep your feet dry. Extra clothes to swap into at the end of the night. Warm and dry go a long ways!!!

    Understandable. I'll try to get out later (after 6pm) if possible. It's not looking good right this second.

    We'll be out there all night. Unless there is horrible weather. Stop out any time. You can still get on the track even if its 8pm.
