VWoT Track day - C'mon up for some fun guys!



Just emailed Phil about getting him the deposit...
want to make certain which email address to use for the Paypal.
And does anyone know if Paypal will allow for currency conversions?
Phil did say that he would rather we all send $100 Canadian instead
of sending him whatever $75 US converts to... just not sure how it
would work.

Mark... there are track events at Mid-Ohio... the open events I know
about are Driver's Ed events where you have an instructor for the
weekend.  Typically you could expect (3) 30 minute sessions
per day for a Saturday-Sunday event.  These are well worth the $$ in
my opinion, but they are more restricted and costly. (~$300 US)
Just a different experience all together compared to the event last
year at Cathy's... which I loved!!  Cheap fun is always the best!!
But hey, if I can swing it I will be going to at least a few of
these driver's ed track events... let me know if you want more info...
would be great to have fellow listers attend too!
