Prescott to Wilholt to Prescott ... I do it often and I do it well. It's like my own personal local road course. :P

You know.... with as many of you guys who like the twisties, I am really surprised there aren't more of you doing road course events at PIR and Firebird. I worked for NASA for almost 3 years doing events there and can't believe more of you don't try stuff like that. There are several options for you guys, NASA (now run by CRA here... Club Racing Arizona) has events at PIR and Firebird usually once a month. Pro Autosports primarily has events ar Firebird, and there's always SCCA autocross events once a month at Firebird too.
Plus, if you guys are worried about cost, I know with NASA and Pro Autosports you can volunteer as a course worker for a weekend and earn yourself a free weekend of track time. Doesn't get any better than that, I've got loads of free track time built up but I'm waiting on a trackable car to use it

The more the merrier. We had a blast and the pictures don't do it justice. Hopefully we can get more car's in October to come up. I think we had almost 30 this time and got a lot of looks from people on the way. We even had 'Bikers' stopping and taking pictures from the side of the road on the way up. It was Arizona Bike Week this past weekend and it must have been a real sight to see all of us roaring by. LOL...........
Looked like a great run...
How was the traffic coming back down 17. Backed up at all?
No, it was smooth sailing all the way home, east side of Mesa for me.
Hiker,
I came back later than everyone else because I walked around downtown Prescott, Whiskey Row, and did some shopping for my Wife. I must have come back around 5 pr 6 pm. on I-17 and then Loop-101 south to Chandler. It was pretty clear sailing all the way down and it was even Arizona Biker Weekend. I had a blast coming down that 7% grade. LOL.............
Hey Steve this could be some serious fun!
I went through the 3 day Bondraunt course (Back when they were using Fox Mustangs!). And for a couple years, in my misguided youth, was dropping about $200-300 a month at Malibu Grand Prix tracks (Ouch! better spent there than on drugs, or alcohol though!)!
Darryl,
Yeah, that sounds like fun. I used to love going to the Gran Prix and blowing money there. I would do it a couple of times a month. Me, you and Nick will line up next time and do Yarnell Hill together. It should be fun. I will be at the Meeting on Sunday. See you then............
Hehe... still surprised none of you take it to the track. I've been through a couple Bondurant courses myself and have an award from the school too.... that's why I'm looking for another fox, so I have a car I can work on getting to the track again
