Official GT350 Track Attack Attendance Thread

[Tank]

Yes I am booked for it. It's just that on the spreadsheet for this thread there is no spot listed for those dates

I added my date for the spreadsheet - copied and pasted from another date and changed to the date I'm attending...

Hey all,

Was thinking of registering for Oct 22ish for the 1 day but am having reservations. I have NEVER driven on a track ever or done any racing of any kind, of course drove like an idiot when young , but 20 odd years of the 9-5 slog and kids has dulled me down. Will a novice ruin the experience for others on the track or is there enough room for all to have fun?

Any advice is appreciated..

Complete amateur here (zero track time, minimal manual driving) and definitely feeling out of the comfort zone. The reassuring thing I've gathered from this forum is how awesome the instructors are. I get the sense they are extremely welcoming and will adapt to you.

p.s. My track day is this Thursday, so I'll let you know for sure :cheers:

edit: Also, I remember calling up and them asking where I felt my driving skills were, based on 0-10 (pro). I told them what I just told you here and they didn't raise any concerns.

Do it,
you will be kicking yourself if you don't. The instructors are great and you will have a blast too.

It is a great experience and you won't regret it. The car inspires confidence and if you leave it in Sport mode at the beginning (which they'll have you do) you should be fine.

You are going to find you are far faster than you thought you were. If you come up on a slower car they suggest you pit to open up some space and then to get back out there. I did it a few times.

Bottom line, let any anxiety go and relax. Your face will hurt from the hours long shit eating grin you'll have on it!

I attended the TrackAttack back on August 29-30th. It was a great experience. A little info that might help others as they travel out to Utah. I stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites. You get a discount there and its about a 10-15 minute drive to the Ford Performance track. It is closer than the Hyatt and cheaper. Its a fairly new and clean hotel. A few of my friends are from Salt Lake and they recommended eating lunch at Lucky 13 burgers, delicious burgers and about a 15 minute drive from the airport. Driving in the Salt Lake City area is easy. The Comfort Inn is about a 30 minute drive from the airport in the opposite direction of Salt Lake City. The evening prior to driving we all met at the school and they provided a catered supper. They also provide plenty of water and other drinks. The day of driving we met about 7:30 am and got fitted for our suits and helmets and had some short classes. They have coffee and doughnuts for breakfast so if you want something more eat before you arrive at the school. If you have a GoPro or other camera you can mount them on the interior of the car with a suction cup mount ONLY. Most laps during the day you will be in the car by yourself. They do ride with you and give instruction. Besides the track the have a slalom course and skid pad set up. You break for lunch and the provide another catered meal. The food was good. The instructors are great and the entire day is a blast. You do get several goodies at the end of the day. You receive a small trophy that is made like the side of the GT350, a certificate signed by the staff, a t-shirt and several other small things. One of the best things they hand out is a thumb drive with the GT350 logo on it with professional pics from the entire day of driving. I think I had over 600 pics on my thumb drive. I met a lot of great people at the event and had a really great time. I highly recommend going. I bought a 17R so I am looking forward to going back with my dad.

Just relax, listen to your instructors! I had the same reservations as you, I was and am a total novice. My only regret is I didn't push myself harder! But I had the best time ever! Enjoy! Bring a gopro with a window mount and get some vids!
