Some of us are going to a track school at Portland International Raceway on Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27.

Here are the details:

Team Continental (ICSCC sanctioned) is holding Road and Race Car Driver Training at PIR Friday evening (6:30pm - 10:00pm) and Saturday (7:30am - ?) on Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27

I have corresponded with them a while ago, and they said that they will accept the S2000 stock roll hoops. The cost is $125 per student (you can have more than one student per car).

I have taken a similar class twice at SIR, put on by IRDC, which is also ICSCC sanctioned. I found the classes to be extremely valuable. Having an experienced instructor riding with you all day, working on what you want to work on, is great.

$125 for a weekend track day is a very good deal. Those of us in Seattle can work a half-day on Friday before heading down to Portland. This would also be a good chance for Seattle and Portland S2000 owners to meet.

Please post here to confirm that you're interested. We'll need to contact Team Continental and make sure they still have space. We should register this week...

Thanks,

Ted

So much for not being "it"...

There were several hotels near PIR listed in the earlier thread, but I haven't had time to check them out yet.

John,

sorry to hear that you can't make it.

I still haven't heard from elanderholm, and there are a couple of other people who said they might do this, so we've got from four to seven people going.

I just talked to the Team Continental people again, and they're still cool with S2000s, and they still have spaces, for now. Here's what you need to do:

Click on the Team Continental link in my first message above;
click on Driver Training;
click on Register Now;
click on PDF forms;
click on TC Driver Training Form;
print out the PDF file;
fill out the info, sign it, and mail it with a check for $125.

I'll get mine in the mail by Saturday.

They expect registration to start filling up soon, so send yours in by Monday.

The ground school Friday evening will be somewhere at OHSU; they'll send us maps when the get our registrations.

Does anyone have time to check out hotels?
