Dont get me wrong here...I LOVE Chin Track Days and what Mark and the team has done over the years. By far they are my favorite group to run with. I have talked to many people at car events about track days and Chin is where I send them to.

Private Track Events works just like any other track day...waivers signed...you can buy track day insurance from a provider, track day is like another with corner workers, ambulance safety officials and so forth. cool thing is it is open track...no run groups. Point by with blinker (after, keeps both hands on the steering wheel at high speeds!)

Usually about 30 or so guys that are vetted advanced solo guys...no drama...slightly more expensive...

We run WINDOWS UP (for safety)...blinkers for passing ( safer as this keeps both hands on the steering wheel and blinkers easier to see that some tiny finger pointing out a side window) don't let other organizations tell you that tracks like Sebing, Road Atlanta, Daytona, Barber, Homestead do not allow windows up ....because they do....plenty of other events are run at these tracks with windows up...I have personally attended events were windows up are allowed and most times mandatory for safety.

No Chin, thanks, but you won’t have me as a customer.

I would rather rent Sebring on my own (track provides flaggers and crew), and send a few texts to share the bill among qualified friends that can pedal a car properly.

They let us have the option this weekend. Believe it or not, most opted for windows down...

Really? I asked on Saturday and they said no! Maybe changed their mind for Sunday. Would have had at least less wind noise on my video...

Let me know when the next windows up event is with open passing I’ll be there .....hand out the window at track speed is stupid

as much as I dislike Sebring I’ll take RS there once
