It was fun. My private invite last year was free and had a blast. My only recommendation is if you get a little car sick, sit out when your buddy/partner gets in the driver seat. At the last event, it was 95 degrees and when I stepped out of the car, the smell of brake dust and gasoline on the track triggered me to throw up. Was a little embarrassing, but now I know to only drive and not be in the passenger seat.

At IMS last year I'd say cumulative at least 30 minutes of track time over the course of 2 hours.

Switch date or buy my reservation
I have a reservation for Monticello on May 23rd at 8:00.
Something came up and I can't go on that date anymore. I know that the reservation is non refundable. Is there a way that somebody could take my reservation so I can get some of my money back. Even better would someone be willing to switch dates with me? |

It is not about something for nothing. It is about allocating your time in a worth while environment. If you spend $250 in a club in one night, well, that says a lot about how you value your time and money.

Just got back from Monticello. I'd say the $250 was worth it for someone looking to be introduced to some of the aspects of tracking.
The instructor hot lap was hilarious. Our instructor went right over one of the bump curbs and we got airborne. The lady in the car with my friend and I started freaking out. I do have one question though: Is that much tire debris normal on a track? I wouldn't ever feel comfortable tracking my car with the amount of tire chunks pelting the shit out of the front of the car. |

Started with a brief classroom introduction and you get split into 4 groups. There was: - Drag Race (M6, M6 cab, X5M, X6M) - M2 five laps as driver, five laps as passenger taking turns behind the instructor - M3, same as M2 - M4 autocross - M3 instructor hot lap Overall it was pretty damn fun. Our M2 laps were kind of shitty b/c we had an old lady in our group and she was going 80 on the back straight. The M3 instructor noticed she was slow and made her follow him for two laps to get more comfortable. By the 2nd lap we were going 120 down the back straight. Drag race was more about being able to brake at the right time than it was about actually beating anyone in a straight line. Launch control and MDM wasn't allowed for this portion. For this portion, there's a box with a red X in the middle; you pretty much want to slam on your brakes after you pass that box to be able to stop on time. M4 autox was fun. I got the 6th best time of the day out of 44 and it was my first time doing it so yeah. The M4 feels like it's on rails. For the track and for autox you get to run in MDM w/ partial traction off. Instructor hot lap was pretty much them drifting through all the turns and apparently trying to get some air on the tight S toward the end of the track. Overall it was damn fun for someone who's a beginner on the track. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who's experienced at the track, though. I think it might be boring especially if you get put in a novice group on the track portion. I think the funniest part was during the parking. They directed all the non-BMW drivers over to the wall to get them out of sight. My friend drove us there in his porsche and we had to go to the treeline like second class citizens. xD |
