2006 Time Trial Survey

[Built-By-Bones]

Greetings all Time Trial Participants and future competitors,

many of you know the problems the CO Time Trial program is facing at the present time. As announced at our awards banquet in Nov 2005, we have been forced to cancel the 2006 season due to the closure of the Mead racetrack.

Our program had 6 dates booked for 2006, but the closing of Mead, along with Pikes Peak raceway, and Second Creek raceway, as well as Pueblo losing the SCCA sanction, has left our area without any suitable track in the Front Range area.

We are intending holding at least one event, possibly two, in 2006, and would like your help with a survey to determine how best to serve you - our time trial participant.

Please visit our time trials website if you have any questions regarding our program.

[BoulderG]

- SCCA member? Yes
- Time Trials in the last 24 months? Several
- Driven HPDE's, Solo 1, or PCA or BMW driving schools before? CO SCCA Solo I at Stapleton, several others.

- 4 hours or less, say to La Junta? Yes
- 8 hrs or less, say to Sandia, NM? Much less likely.
- Further, but less than 12 hrs, say to Miller Motorsports Park or Topeka? MMP, maybe. Topeka, much less likely. The cost in time and money would be very high.

- for an event at say La Junta would you prefer:
Not sure.
- would you spend $200/day? It would have to be a _great_ experience. No more than that.

More comments:
Several people on this list now have TaG and/or Shifter Karts. Any possibilty of adding kart classes to the time trials? I know it is the Sports CAR Club of America, not the Sports KART Club of America, so the answer might be "No!"

- Do you have other high speed track experience? YES

- Would you consider travelling beyond the Denver area for a T/Trials event? We have little choice at this point

- Would you consider travelling 4 hours or less, say to La Junta?

Two day event - probably only one time.

- Would you consider travelling 8 hrs or less, say to Sandia, NM?

No

- Would you travel further, but less than 12 hrs, say to Miller Motorsports Park or Topeka?

Not at this time

No

If I travel a two day event would be best. Seperate events on both days, but am open to ideas as long as we get two days.

For some tracks the fees are significantly higher than we are used to in CO
- would you spend $100/day for an event entry?
- would you spend $150/day for entry? I'm good to here
- would you spend $200/day? Time Trials at VIR maybe?
- would you spend $250/day
- would you spend $300/day

some final questions

Not at this time

Yes.

- are you prepared to pay for transporting your car to an event, say MMP, say $500 for the round trip?

$150 sounds better. $500 would be to a great track on the east coast.

I know the Audi club is having an event at MMP. Transportation of vehicles is around $150 the last I heard.

[Weston]

- Are you an SCCA member?
Yes

- Have you participated in Time Trials in the last 24 months?
Yes

- Have you driven in HPDE's, Solo 1, or PCA or BMW driving schools before?
Yes

- Do you have other high speed track experience?
Yes

- Would you consider travelling beyond the Denver area for a T/Trials event?
Yes, but would need to find an affordable tow (at least for the way home)

- Would you consider travelling 4 hours or less, say to La Junta?
Yes

- Would you consider travelling 8 hrs or less, say to Sandia, NM?
Yes

- Would you travel further, but less than 12 hrs, say to Miller Motorsports Park or Topeka?
Yes

- Do you trailer you race car?
No, but I would have to for non-local tracks

- for an event at say La Junta would you prefer
- a one day event? If it's a one-day event, then Sunday
- a two day event? Yes

- if you would attend a two day event, would you prefer
- to have seperate events each day? Yes
- run the same direction both days? No
- run opposite directions? Yes
- lots of practice/test n tune/qualify on Sat? main event on Sunday? Yes, that's a great idea. This would be my preferance.
- drivers school Sat/ main event Sun? I probably wouldn't attend the school

For some tracks the fees are significantly higher than we are used to in CO
- would you spend $100/day for an event entry? Yes
- would you spend $150/day for entry? Maybe... Definately, if it's a one day event
- would you spend $200/day? Maybe, but only for a one day event
- would you spend $250/day? Probably not
- would you spend $300/day? Not unless we are going to Laguna Seca ;)

some final questions
- do you intend travelling out of state for motorsports (solo, road racing, time trials, other series) in 2006? Yes, but only once or maybe twice
- would you travel further to events if transport can be arranged for you car? Absolutely!
- are you prepared to pay for transporting your car to an event, say MMP, say $500 for the round trip? Yes, but $500 is much too high... I would think that we could find a more economical tow. I'd pay $100-$150... otherwise, I'd have to arrange something on my own or just take my chances.

[BoulderG]

Weston makes a really good point...

If I were to attend an event that was "far from home" - which means any track event in the foreseeable future - I would absolutely require a backup plan to get my car and myself safely home in case of mechanical failure, crash, etc.

I hadn't thought of it earlier, but I couldn't take the risk of being stuck in SLC or Topeka or NM with a busted car and no reliable (and reasonably affordable) way home. I wouldn't be happy about the risk in Pueblo or LaJunta, either, but they're a lot closer.

So for me, and perhaps for others who don't trailer, it would be a requirement to have a contigency plan.

I'm not expecting a free tow home if my car is broken or crashed. But I couldn't take the risk of "market rate" from wherever I am.

Geremy

Yeah, Uhaul is about $500 to rent their truck and a car hauler for a one way trip home from Salt Lake City. :eek: And we don't even want to think about the cost of a flat bed tow truck.

However, if you have a vehicle with a proper hitch and towing capacity, you can rent a Uhaul car trailer for $49.95/day or $39.95/day for a car dolly (but those are cheap and small enough that you might as well just buy one). Of course, I'm lacking a vehicle that could pull a car on a trailer, so that's kind of a problem...

I would travel as far as time and finances permit to participate. LaJunta is my 1st choice. I would go to as many events as we could have there if it didnt break the bank. (Lajunta isn't as far for me.)

- to have seperate events each day?
- run the same direction both days?

- would you spend $200/day? For a great track - yes

- Are you an SCCA member?
YES

- Have you participated in Time Trials in the last 24 months?
YES

- Have you driven in HPDE's, Solo 1, or PCA or BMW driving schools before?
TimeTrials school twice last year.

- Do you have other high speed track experience?
NO

- Would you consider travelling beyond the Denver area for a T/Trials event?
YES

- Would you consider travelling 4 hours or less, say to La Junta?
YES

- Would you consider travelling 8 hrs or less, say to Sandia, NM?
Maybe

- Would you travel further, but less than 12 hrs, say to Miller Motorsports Park or Topeka?
Maybe, but that would be hard without a trailer.

- Do you trailer you race car?
I wish, but no.



- for an event at say La Junta would you prefer
- a one day event? please state preference for Sat or Sun
- a two day event?
A two day event would make traveling seem more worth it to me.

- if you would attend a two day event, would you prefer
- to have seperate events each day?
- run the same direction both days?
- run opposite directions?
- lots of practice/test n tune/qualify on Sat? main event on Sunday?
- drivers school Sat/ main event Sun?
An event both days, but no preference on direction of travel (any of those tracks will be new to me anyway)

For some tracks the fees are significantly higher than we are used to in CO
- would you spend $100/day for an event entry?
Yes
- would you spend $150/day for entry?
Yes
- would you spend $200/day?
Pushing it, but if I felt I had the cash then yes.
- would you spend $250/day
Same as $200
- would you spend $300/day
Probably not.

some final questions
- do you intend travelling out of state for motorsports (solo, road racing, time trials, other series) in 2006?
That depends on you (I would consider it for Trials, but don't plan to do it for AutoX)

- would you travel further to events if transport can be arranged for you car?
Interesting, maybe.

- are you prepared to pay for transporting your car to an event, say MMP, say $500 for the round trip?
Would not want to commit to that, but maybe. That makes for an expensive weekend with race fees, hotels, tires, etc.



Thanks for working on this. Last season was my first experience with the Trials (and racetracks in general) and I loved it. Hopefully your efforts will help us get a least a couple of days in. I appreciate it!

Just to add a personal thought - The double event at Second Creek this past October was the most fun I've ever had on the racetrack. It was a quality event with lots of track time. There were no egos and no stress. I especially liked the fact that drivers worked too. It is an absolute shame that our tracks have been vanishing lately. I hope we'll find a solution soon.

If you look for posts from the last month or two Grant says "yes" somewhere in there (might be in another forum in a thread about him selling the mini's).
Are you going to take that pretty honda to the track or do you have another one?

Well, it depends on the date really -- I have a new 92 civic hatch I am almost finished building with a 2004 tsx engine in it but I need another couple months for the last few parts.

The newer 2002 red and black Si was just changed into a 340whp fwd "large" turbo setup -- so yeah, its not gonna be very usable on a road course... lol -- but with me you never know, im just out there to have fun, so ill probably end up bringing it out once or twice (once I learn how to handle it).

Donnie was telling me that you had swapped to a turbo, etc., which is why I was asking. Sounds like a sweet setup.

I remember you were working on the other civic last year, but I didn't know if that was still in the works. Glad to hear it is.

I can't wait for the trials to start up again. I had a blast running them last season (last TT season, that is), and I can't wait to test the new Ohlins on the track. :D

yeah it needs the ecu upgrade, a header, potentially custom "b" pipe, a new smaller belt (no ac or ps) and a windshield basically -- almost done...
