It's very cheap around $150 for the entire day with an instructor. It's going to be a blast... click the link in my original post and click on the 17th it will give you all the info you need.

one more thing though before i forget. Does that price include helmet?
Unfortunately no. You will need to pick up a approved helmet. You can get one ranging from $80-$150. It's worth it to invest in one that is approved for the drag strip and open track.

Great!

I'll be there in my Cobra and we should have 2 Shelby GT-Hs. One for my girlfriend and her mom and the other for her uncle.

:beer:

can they drive? (people with GT-H?). will Hertz insurance cover taking it to the track? i dont think personal car insurance will. dont wanna get :burn:

i checked the helmets at two Pep Boys. all the helmets were $110 or less and none had any ratings stickers anywhere :shrug:

where are some other places to buy them?

It looks like we may just be renting 1 GT-H. My girlfriends uncle may be driving his Mercedes at the track. Can they drive?... well yeah, but her mom drives aggressive and my girl drives timid. They will have instructors there coaching them and they aren't going there to drive like a bat out of hell. They just want to have a little fun with the mustang around the track. They aren't looking to break track times. In any event they will check to make sure they have all the coverage they need. In a worst case scenario on the car I'm not sure what the cost would be on a Shelby GT-H, but they would have it covered no problem.

In regards to the helmets we all got our helmets with like 3 approved ratings on them. They are O'neills or something...full face with visor.

ok cool. where will i be able to pick a helmet up? What specs should i look out for when purchasing one?
Go to the speedventures site and make sure to look at the FAQs to see the specific approved helmet standards. Take that and you can go to Pep Boys to see if they have a auto racing helmet that meets those requirements. I'm not sure of any other places, but I am sure you can order one online if you wish.

I can't wait should be a great time. Hopefully you can make it.:beer:

Do it! Check Pep Boys that's where all 3 of us got our helmets. Took some time though to find the store that had our size in stock on that helmet.

well i found a helmet. Last thing on the list is going to be brakes and getting off of work.
Oh nice! I have faith haha.

It will be great to see some solid stangs out there. I love new edge cobras so it will be nice seeing one out on the track. This will be your first time as well I assume? Should be a fun day and the weather is looking great on the forecast, 70's!
