Agreed, you don't get rich by giving money away.

no i know im not saying they should give it away unless its a good charity but i mean im sorry its a big annoyance to me when rich people complain about money issues or same issues as poorer people makes me just think stfu you stuck up bitch

I think you just took a little step towards socialism, while touching on the flaws of capatilism. Congrats.

Anyway, back on topic... racing and getting learned!

My buddy did this last year with his STi he said it was around $1100 for the weekend (not sure how many people were out) but says it was awesome and that he wold do it again in a second.

I AM VERY INTERESTED, if you ca post some more info and maybe some prices we could all consider rolling down there. as long as its not crazy expensive im down!

shit thats not not bad at all for a track rental for an entire weekend. Id be so down if it was around that price mark.

Ya me too, but like i said i dont know how many people were out there, if i can get a hold of him ill ask but we should deff. get some people together and go! it would be a blast!!!! i guess the more that come the cheaper it will be so lets get atleast 15 I guess f thats the limit or more to keep the price down.

hold on... 1100$ per person...?

fuck ill charge 110$ and you can follow the civic around 3 Flags and ill show you how to control a early 90's Japanese FWD SGI write off that has 95% of its bushing shot.

no not at all, just saying its one of those things you can say you've done in your life.

I believe the road course section is 2 miles long.

Oh My God!
Okay, If my car is going and im happy with where everything is at. I would be highly interested in this, I mean a road course for entire weekend accompanied by a professional driver giving pointers.

Does it matter?
she owns a porsche race car, 'round here, ya'll marry for money!

It can't be 1100.00 a person that means it costs like 15,000.00 to rent it for a weekend

like i said i dont know how many people were out there could have been 10 could have been 30 i dunno!?!?!?!? but its not cheap to rent a race rack, think about it, i think it could be fun. The drag strip at race city is bad ass by the way!!! $20.00 on friday nights all you need is a helmet and you can race from 7pm to 12pm

I can see 15,000 for a weekend if they have all there staff working out there but I think like 600.00 is more like it.

Trust me I would rather it be $600 than $1,100 anyday!!! lets hope it is!

when are we going to find out what's going on with this??? if we don't have enough people and need more some of my buddy's in calgary would do this.

Also i think it would be really sweet if like on saturday night-ish we could all cruise Macleod with our sask plates hahaha that would be kinda funny lol

p.s. race city is closing after this season.....might be hard to find a spot no??

I've been trying constantly to get information. Phone calls, emails, nothing has been returned.
There is a BMW meeting happening withing the next week I think. So I'll try to be in attendance and find out information for you

Hey guts just talked my buddy who passed on to me some info to get a hold of race city. I talked to a guy at race city and told me with out an instructor its $2500 a day, which is 8-4PM. Now im just trying to hear back from him on what it costs for the driving school. As it stands weekends are booked (could be for the driving schools and what not) so ill let you know what happens next.

He got back to me,

"The only weekend dates I have available are on the Easter weekend, April 10-14, or Thanksgiving weekend, October 10-12. The normal weekend rate is $4500/day but I can drop that some for those holiday weekends. I also have August 3, the holiday Monday here, available.

You could check with any of the other schools to see about their programs.


Race City"


Don't know if any of you guys would rather do it during the week, or try somewhere else that has driving school....

So say we get 10 people in and split that 4500$ into $450 a piece is that how it works?
