What Do You Look For When Riding with a Track Day Org?
This topic was started on another site and wanted to bring the discussion over here as well. This is not to bash any particular club/org, please don't take it as such.
When you look at the grand scheme of things, the cost of the actual track day is the cheapest part lol. But anywho, heres what I look for:
1. Safety - This is a hobby for me, I have to go to work too.
2a. Organization - The org hosting the day needs to be organized themselves.
2b. Approachable/Knowledgeable Staff - "Cliquey clubs" are not for me. Coaches and/or control riders all on the same page in regards to safety and knowing the line.
3a. Date Availability - Whatever fits my schedule best.
3b. Tracks - I don't settle on just any track, I ride the tracks I want to ride. Distance is a big factor.
4. Admin(s) - Knowledgeable, competent staff in the office.
5. My Friends - When all is said and done, we're all about having fun as well so we all pretty much stick together for the most part and ride.
