We will be having a very special high-level driving clinic at Texas World Speedway.

Our special guest coach will be a 4-time winner of the Rolex 24 at Daytona and 3-time Grand Am Rolex Series champion.

Mike Globe and I are organizing the event, and it will be high level, high class, and epic.

More details in about a month!

The stars lined up for us to secure the last remaining weekend for the year at TWS, and one of the very top active drivers on the American sports car circuit. Those in Texas know what a great track TWS is, and many who have trailered from afar have learned as well that this is a road coarse worth making a long tow. It's going to be two full days of free skate on the 2.9 mile configuration. All the track time you can stand.

As good as this track is, our guest coach/driver will be even better. Stay tuned!

First of all, you Texans don't know from free skate:


Second, what kind of affiliations will one need to register?

Charlie, we will begin providing all details for the event in about a month. Thank you! To tease: Open track for 8 hours a day for 2 days, lunch each day included, dinner Saturday night with the Big Star included, all coaching included, and the Big Name drives each participant's car at its potential for data & video...with the car's owner in the right seat if there is a right seat.

I said free skate, not gay skate. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The event will be for advanced drivers with an SCCA, BMWCCA, NASA, PCA, PBOC, POC, or FIA... racing license, or with confirmation from their CDI of an appropriate DE skill level (what we call yellow, white, or instructor level in Texas). Drivers will need to be able to handle open passing anywhere with a point-by.

Things like this make me feel old - when I saw free skate I thought of open skating at the roller rink. Do they even have those any more or do the kids these days skate on their smart phones?

I don't know guys. 8 hours of open track per day doesn't sound like very much. LOL
Please put me on the list. If I'm in town I'd love to go.

Sounds bitchin'! Awesome that we will get a chance to have the hot shoe drive our cars! (With data!!)

Would love to see what the pro can do in a 997 GT3 on MPSCs or Hoosier R6s like a lot of the LSRPCA guys bring to TWS My guess is folks are going to gain a new appreciation for how much there is to learn to get to the top level of this driving game we all play!

I assume Globe-tini's will be served once the track goes cold?

If there's enough interest, I'm sure the track will run an open track day on Friday before the event.

Thundermoose

I am interested!

You know you want to, Charlie. Besides, it's only fair. I'm coming up there for the Glen. You need to come back for TWS.

For the love of Pete, please don't post that picture again!

I'm surprised no one has tried to guess the pro driver yet... First one to get it right, and show up for the event, get's a free Globe Martini... except for you Doug007.

Veloce Raptor

Maybe we should tell them...
