OK, all you current racers are probably gonna call this weak sauce, but I sure had fun. :banana:
I drove with SATCAR at GingerMan Raceway today. Their track day consisted of two practice sessions (30 & 45 minutes), one group qualifying session (45 minutes) and one 32 lap handicaped race. (approximately 55 minutes). All this track time for only $255 that includes rental of transponder, competition license and annual membership.
So it's not door to door racing, that's true. However some of us lack the time, talent and cash to go door to door racing. The whole event is handled very professionally and all vehicle laps are posted after every session. There is a staggered start out of the hot pit based on your qualifying speeds. To prevent sandbagging, a driver cannot turn in any laps more than two seconds faster than in qualifying. Stop and go penalties are accessed.
Passing does not required a point bye but must be started and completed within the straights. To see more details see their website at
