This is to gauge interest at this point, so replying won't commit you. 

I'm thinking about a Monday in late September at the soonest, after we get past the peak of rainy season and into some cooler weather. 

What do you think? I don't know how many people we need for a private rental, but maybe we can pull it off.

I think private weekdays in the fall are $2500 if I'm not mistaken if that helps work the math.

If I'm around I can show up and do some coaching or data analysis or just stand around and look cool or whatever.

In reply to JG Pasterjak :

Good! As we were wrapping up the last event this spring, I realized that I missed a chance to ask for some coaching. I've got a lot of seat time at the Firm, which I think puts me in a good position to learn more. Focus on the skills instead of needing to learn the course.

If my car runs, definite maybe as well.

I also have some PTO I need to burn before the last week of August

Interested, but I'll hit up FIRM for minimum requirements. I would rather the Miata, but the Corvette needs new shoes, so I could waste them there. Nice idea, Doc!

All year, like through December? We've done one of these the day after the Challenge for the last three years.

Bumping this up to give some more people a chance to consider this.

We've had a private track rental at the Firm on the day after the Challenge for the last three years.

It's been open track for the entire day, except for an hour lunch break, so we haven't been limited to 20 minute sessions.

No replies for a week. The track rental after October 1 is $3500.

We need at least 14 drivers to match the open track price of $250/day.
