Most every organization out there will allow instructors to take passengers out in the right seat as long as they sign an event waiver. Rides are usually free. Just introduce yourself to the event organizer and tell them you are interested in this activity and would like a ride along. They will usually escort you to the event registration shack, have you sign a waiver, find a helmet and an instructor to take you for a ride.Originally posted by Steve View PostSign me up that! I'd love to experience what it's like a ride with someone who can really throw a car around in full control.
99.5% of the groups do NOT allow anyone other than instructors to give rides. It's an insurance thing.
That being said, any event I have my car at, I will give rides to set the hook but I ain't paying your laundry bills!

Nothing like getting your first taste of what a car can really do with a good driver from the passenger seat. It's enough to make you want to crawl under the dash and hide!Originally posted by aggie97 View PostThat being said, any event I have my car at, I will give rides to set the hook but I ain't paying your laundry bills!

The open testing day before lemons events are very open on what they require. A waiver and some cash and you are in. Hell there was a guy at houston in his daily driver Miata runing laps."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

Yeah, he was probably a member...but passengers are 99 times out of 100 a big no no especially on open track days. Most grid people will catch it...sometimes they don't.Originally posted by Baron View PostHell I want a ride in yours!

You may be right for "normal" open track days, but I know for a fact at ECR the last racen, passengers were allowed on practice, so long as they had an arm band.Originally posted by aggie97 View PostYeah, he was probably a member...but passengers are 99 times out of 100 a big no no especially on open track days.

That may be an ECR thing...trust me, it isn't the norm pretty much anywhere else and I wouldn't count on it all the time.Originally posted by Baron View PostYou may be right for "normal" open track days, but I know for a fact at ECR the last racen, passengers were allowed on practice, so long as they had an arm band.

I had the joy of watching one of my buddies in a 4cyl Fusion rental with a sticky tire swap push a caged Camaro SS around TWS.Originally posted by jw33 View PostLet me create the first thread, "My favorite redneck can drive around in a circle faster than your favorite redneck"...
I do all the Texas Lemons races and when you divide it between 4 guys the money is not bad at all.
That said most classes or HDPEs are 20 minutes of driving. I've done some drag racing and fair amount of highway racing which last seconds compared to minutes or hours of road racing.
And every lap is different also. I did 3.5 hour stint at the last Lemons race and could have done more.
Nothing gets me going than getting around a corner faster than someone else.Murph
Lots of cars that nobody desires
