One Day High Performance Driving | ProFormance Racing School

I found that link on the Pacific Raceways site. Anyone here don this?

A few years ago my wife and I did a one day stint with Proformance Racing (it was all Mini Coopers, my wifes car). It was fun, very educational, and well run. It would be much more interesting in the Z.

Did I read somewhere that a few people are interested in doing a mid-week run in June around south Mt. Ranier?

Yes. I'm thinking possibly the third week due to weather and snow melt/wet roads.

What timing /days work for those interested?

When you're on the track are there other drivers on at the same time (ie cars jockeying for position or trying to pass you)? I just don't want to be worrying about my skills while learning and worrying about another driver not being careful...especially if I use my own car.

I have a pretty flexible schedule myself. Do you guys tend to get up and go or is it more of a social event?

We weren't allowed to pass that I can recall. Your best bet is to call Proformance and go over the program because you definitely do not want to be out your comfort zone or be around those that may fancy themselves as being better than they are. "Oh sorry dude, I thought I could out brake you on turn 2. Will that cost much for you to fix?". :ugh2:

I honestly don't know car racing protocol at all but I raced go karts for several years and testosterone is testosterone.

Probably a combination……. I guess. Places to take pics, stop and eat all are part of this too so definitely social.

Keep us posted. Ideally by then I'll have my coilovers on and a DSLR. If we can do a mid-week venture that'd be ideal. I telecommute so I'm super flexible, and there will be less traffic on a Wednesday than a Saturday.

With Porsche and BMW clubs at least at Pacific Raceways the driver in front is required to signal to let people pass in designated passing zones on the track……no signal no pass. Of course if a slower individual does not signal after some time they will be flagged off of the track. Black flag = not good!

That's good to know.
