Hi Everyone,

Chime in if your going. Can't wait to do RSAA. Hope ya'll didn't get killed on the plane prices like I did....

You bringing a Go Pro?

Hi Nicklulu.

I don't currently have a gopro. But I was thinking about it and it would sure be fun to have some footage of what those cars are capable of. I probably wont though go get one though.

I'll also leave this link here for events for the Mrs. and for the evening (not sure when we get done):

Absolutely. I remember when I was there and doing my own laps, I thought I was pushing the car reasonably hard and doing pretty good. Once the instructor got in the driver's seat I realized that I wasn't even scratching the surface of what the car is capable of. It's really tough to get in the mode of "drive it like you stole it" when you're used to daily driving it. Regardless it was a hell of an experience and I loved every second.

 

[nicklulu]

Any of you guys paid the insurance or just signed the waiver?

 

[jamesc]

I think I'll end I'll paying the insurance. I don't want to have to think about it while I'm driving.

I was thinking the same way at first. I checked when I did my NASCAR experience it was just a waiver and I was no where close of blowing it up.

$135 can get you some swag/merch at their store.

Still on the fence on that.

 

[EKFocusRS]

I bought the insurance. But I'm planning on going more aggressive than I'd like. So, a little piece of mind. But normally, I wouldn't opp for the insurance. But I've read many members felt the insurance wasn't necessary the way it was setup.

 

[nicklulu]

Yeah, form what I read most owners pushes the cars there.

But as @Ankah said, the instructors pushes the heck out of it and you won't even be close.

Neat video I found:

I went to the sesh on Labor Day weekend last year, and some of us met up for drinks after in downtown SLC, and we were talking about how we thought we used like 75-80% of the cars potential daily driving, just to find out you use like 20% or less and we should have saved $20k+ and bought an ST, hahahaha.

 

[nicklulu]

A couple of more days!

I already packed my luggage last night!

I still need to fix my backpack though :encouragement:

 

[nicklulu]

Packing done! Half day tomorrow at work, then fly out to SLC.

[jamesc]

Awesome day folks! What a great group of instructors and students.
