Apex Driving Academy On Jan 29th

Hey guy...if you've ever wondered how well your G will handle in a racing situation, safely, this is the place to be. This event is unlike the track day we just had. You actually get an instructor IN CAR with you. And...(drum roll) it's on a Sunday! Events like this in Cali costs me $400...and it was worth every penny. Ask the guys who were with me at the track recently if instruction has helped me. Yeah, I have a blower, but that only helps in the straight aways...

News Release

I'm sure he's heard it his whole life and doesn't need it from you. Plus, this is the DFW area...what's a Arizonian posting in an event thread he obviously won't be attending?

Guess I missed a Johnny Holmes joke?! I have heard them all. I have a good sense of humor about it.

Is there any reason there's a price bump?

Doesn't really matter to me, I'll be going anyways, I was just wondering.

Weekend track rental is much higher than the weekday rate. We are going to run one at this price point and it may have to go up again. You are also getting in-car instruction.

Sign up with Apex directly but mention the G35 club please. It helps us track where we may want to advertise in the future.

You can do it through our website or call our shop at the track (Speedworks). 817-396-4504.

Please understand the shop is open Wednesday-Sunday. There is no one there Monday or Tuesday.

CG lock is a device that is well known in the autocross world. It keeps you lap belt in place and tight. It has been endorced my national car clubs.

Helps keep you in your seat while going hard through corners.

Oh, I have tried to buy the lap belt lock for a while. Smileys in Garland acted like I was crazy when i tried to decribe the device I had seen on a car show.
Thanks for the help.
