Are there any members to the track here? I went out there today for a half day with my wife and it was awesome. Just seeing if there are any members or any interested in becoming one.

My uncle and cousin are both members and i drive as their guest. Nice track.

Hoping to do the track weekend in September... it's already heating up quite a bit!!!

[M3soHRNY]

I maybe doing a membership for my family. If anyone else is interested in joining I can see if they can give us a price break on the initiation fees

What is the benefit of joining?

[M3soHRNY]

If you wanted to run your car you can come anytime as long as there isn't a private event going on. He said appox 275 days a year it is open to members. You can bring guest to ride with you or drive your car. If the guest wants to drive their own it is like $150.00 bucks.

You can do the Driver's edge event or other driving events but I don't feel comfortable with others on the track next to me that could possible damage my car. Those events typically run $100.00 and you don't get nearly as much track time.

This past Thursday when I was there were a total of 4 cars on the track including myself and the instructors. The other 2 were pro driver's racing their Miata and testing them.

What's the cost? Otherwise, feel free too have me be your guest on occasions

[Rx7andy]

I'm interested. How much is the membership? Didn't find it on their website.

[M3soHRNY]

it is $5k retail.. I talked to him and a few of my friends are going to sign up as well... IF we can get a few I can ask him how much. I'm not a retail payer lol

I just spoke to Kurt at MSR, very nice guy. Price is $5k to start, then a monthly fee of $275 (roughly). Not cheap, but the course is open 270+ days a year to members and at least half the weekends in a calendar year.

If we get a group of 2+ he can work with us on the initiation fee. Depending on # of people discounts of $250-1K can be available.

For $150 you can take your car out see if the track is what you expect. If you end up signing up, that $150 is credited to your account. I'm on the fence with this. Its not cheap, but a track at your disposal most days a year? Either way, I'll be keeping this from the wife.

[M3soHRNY]

I asked around and so far I have a total of 4 on my side so if we want to come in as a group that would work out.

Thanks

I might be interested in getting a membership If we are still able to get a group discount.

Have any of you guys purchased a membership in the past month?

[M3soHRNY]

I havent yet. Some of the other track guys said they were going to wait till we get a couple more to negotiate a better deal

[V8Fan]

Howdy!
I'd be in for a sweet negotiated deal for MSr

[V8Fan]

Seriously,the down payment is a bit harsh.
I'd see a group of five or more having enough leverage to get $1k off each

[V8Fan]

Just talked to Kurt at MSR,he's willing to negotiate.
For a group of three,he'll drop the initiation fee to $3k.
How's that?
If we can gather even more people,we could perhaps lower it to $2.5 k...

[ehoms]

at $2.5k I am in.

[M3soHRNY]

i have 3 on my side for sure

[Damasconian]

Does the $275/month fee still stand or can that be discounted for the group as well?

[V8Fan]

Are we talking 3 or 4 people total m3sohorny?
Am thinking we can go and ask but we would need commitment from all in short timeframe.
$250/ month and 2.5k for 5 looks fair to me

[V8Fan]

Why don't you guys send me your emails of all interested parties and I'll get the ball rolling with MSR and CC all to get everyone on the same page?

[Mikeisen]

I'm in if still available. I'll send you my email.
