| PRICING FOR THE TRACK DAYS WILL BE AS FOLLOWS: If paid BEFORE July 31st pricing will be: For ONE day of racing ($30.00) For a WEEKEND of racing ($60.00) If paid AFTER July 31st pricing will be: For ONE day of racing ($50.00) For a WEEKEND of racing ($100.00) Just want to make it clear to EVERYONE that if you pay in advance there will be NO REFUNDS if you cannot make it. The point of us getting advance reservations is to cover the track before we get there as we have to pay for the event before we have it. THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. Also, another tidbit, if you have ONE car and TWO drivers you pay for TWO drivers, not ONE car. Insurance is not to cover the car, it is to cover the track and persons. I will be accepting paypal this time around as I hate cashing checks. Paypal address is doodiehd@hotmail.comSend as a gift or you will be charged the $2.50 fee. Dont mean to be blunt, but a few people pissed me off. | |

| Information and Rules for the track day 1. Helmets are required for all drivers and passengers. DO NOT GO OUT ON THE TRACK WITHOUT A HELMET. This is a serious safety, insurance, and liability issue. 2. Slower cars will point the faster cars by. Let off the throttle, get off the racing line, and direct the car behind you to pass by pointing your arm out the window. There is no wheel-to-wheel racing. There is no passing without being pointed by. It is dangerous, and it requires a higher level of insurance coverage, in addition to mandatory safety features in all cars, like roll cages, etc. You need to pay attention to your rear view, and when someone is right behind you, let them pass. 3. Follow the course. You cannot skip a corner or gate. It is dangerous and could result in a collision. 4. Enter/Exit course only in designated lanes. 5. Do not drag dirt onto the course. If you go off course and drag dirt onto the pavement, the next car through that turn is vulnerable. We will shut the course down and you will be told to go out on the track and sweep up your mess. 6. Your car needs to be able to pass a basic technical inspection. Bungee-cord battery tie-downs are NOT permitted. Check your car over in advance. Make sure you have enough brake pad. Make sure your tires are not showing cord. Torque your lug nuts. No leaking fluids. 7. The insurance, provided by our sponsor, covers the track, NOT your car. Drive within your limits and buy track day coverage, if you so desire. 8. Get your car tinted at the TINT FACTORY. Vern is very generous to sponsor our track days and provide insurance coverage. The prices you see above will DOUBLE if we have to purchase our own insurance policy. Tips to make your weekend more enjoyable - BLEED/FLUSH YOUR BRAKES ahead of time. Use a high temp fluid - ATE Blue is a cost effective solution. Motul also makes a great brake fluid, but it isn't cheap. This is single-handedly the most common reason why people are held back at the track. Old fluid has absorbed moisture over time and WILL result in fade in short order. - Consider using real track pads. Most cars will be able to get away with good pads and fluid and run fade-free all weekend. There are not a lot of heavy braking zones at the course in Helena. - There is very little shade at the course. A tent or awning will make it more tolerable. - Food and fuel are not available at the track, but are within a few minutes drive (there are some vending machines in the building). Camping is available at the track both Friday and Saturday night, and there are bathroom and shower facilities available to us. - We run dawn till dusk and rain or shine. You are welcome to sleep in, but bring ear plugs, because I will be screeching past your tent bright and early . - Camp fires are not permitted. This rule is issued by the Helena Regional Airport and we have no control over it. If you have any questions about the track, event, or car preparation, please send one of us a message. Newcomers should feel welcomed and can rest assured that this is a low pressure environment and a great way to get started in the sport. You will not find this tremendous amount of track time, at such a low price, anywhere else. | |

| Weekend is Sat/Sun only. If we wanted Monday, we would have to pay full price for the extra day. It would be great, if we could actually get enough people to cover it! | |

| Follow the signs to Helena Regional Airport entrance, drive east past the terminal building and you will pass the Boeing plant and the Army National Guard Aviation Facilities. You will come to the Rocky Mountain Emergency Service training facility and that is where the event is held. At the entry area there is a Navy jet, an airport fire engine, and the burned out jet used for fire-fighter training. When you arrive there, drive thru the gate and you will see the activity. Good luck and have fun. | |

| Just wanted to throw out a huge 'THANK YOU' to everyone that participated this weekend, could not have asked for a better event. I personally had an excellent time along with the crew I rolled with. Thanks again for the people that helped with the set up and tear down, went super quick and eased the pain of us running the event.
Next year we plan on having an event every month starting in June. We were kicking around the idea of alternating back and forth between facilities (Helena and Lewistown). Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks again for an amazing event, hope everyone had enough run time.... LOL. | |
