I'm thinking of attending this event and was curious if any of you have ever attended one in the past years?

If so what was it like?
Did you learn stuff or just race etc... Thanks.

I race regularly and was curious if they give launching techniques and things like that. Tech cards and staging and burnouts I know.

I went 2 years ago. For me it was very informative cause I had never been to the track before. Joe walks you through the track procedures and what to expect. Also your at the track all day. I made countless runs each time improving. Joe also lets you know what you need to do to improve to get your times down etc.... Also he puts on a good BBQ aswell.
At the end of the day there is bracket racing with your class mates and the winner gets a trophy. I had a blast.

i went last year and it was great experience. Because only 30 can join, it was a small crowd with lots of runs to get in. I got in about 15 runs. He walks you thru step by step from burn out technique to the launch. bbq lunch as well. It was well worth the money.
Joe said it will start between 10 and 11 am this year. I'm going again!
