Speed Ventures is heading out to COTA again this year (see link below). I did the MVP event back in late Feb and the weather sucked (cold and rainy). Weather should be much better in late April/early May. Hope some of the RL crowd will make it out.

Did you drive out there? Or trailer it out there?

 

USC and I had our cars transported.

 

General price range for that?

How did the other logistics work out? You fly there and then rent a car?

 

$1/mile roughly per car.
I flew out (points baby!)
Hotel near airport (points baby!)
Rental car (POINTS AGAIN BABY!)

Not a cheap trip, but I travel a lot for work so the 'free' travel helped the sting.

Yes, the weather was crap, but it was damn fun and I want to go back.

 

Yikes...so the track time is pretty much the same cost as the trailer there?

Damn...

 

We paid about $2,500 roundtrip each for transport and a wrench that helped us at the track. Well worth it.

 

I am in phoenix and would like to go if the logistics of shipping the car work out. For those of you thinking of arranging a transport from sourthern (or even northern) california, please keep me in mind to share the costs of shipping.

 

COTA is not for the $ timid, especially coming from out of town.

But SO worth the trip.

 

+1 COTA experience is PRICELESS!

 

Ive signed up

 

There's an Edge Addicts event Nov 1 if you can't wait. It's only a 1 day though. I'll be there instructing.

 

For a 1,200 mile journey...I need 3 days!

 

Don't blame you at all!

 

Sounds VERY Tempting!
