I joined Chin motorsports about a year ago, and never registered to a track day, or went to see one.
Also since the track days in Chin get packed more than a month before the track day itself, I found hookedondriving, which also offer track days in FL only without a membership required.

Is anybody here in a member in Chin or went to a hookedondriving track day? It would be nice to hear a personal experience from someone, and in case I decide to go it would be cool to drive in a group to an event!

 

I've attended Homestead with Chin quite a few times. They have 2 run groups, novice/intermed solo and advanced solo/instructor. Lots of track time and good fun, I may sign up for Sat, Feb 26 Homestead event. No Novice slots open for that date though, if u have DE experience u can sign up as a provisional solo. I believe u have to make contact with them.

Thanks Ken, I don't think I can register as a solo yet since the last time I've been on a track with rules was about 5 years ago when I did a Formula Ford racing course.
I will contact them and see if anyone didn't pay for the novice class.

Do you get to drive fast even in the novice class? Because I know there is no passing there in general.

 

Well u can push, u will be required to have an instructor ride along. His/her job will be to make sure ur safe with everyone else on a hot track. There is passing with a point by but only on the straights. The fun is also getting ur driving line right and braking zones consistent. Ull only get faster as u become a better driver on track as I'm sure u know.

If u sign up as a prov solo they will require an instructor to sign u off as intermediate solo qualified...familiar with flags and corner stations, driving line, traffic awareness ect..

I have personally been with Chin a lot over the years... you will get more driving time than you really even need. Totally professional outfit -- highly recommended.

 

I need to get on the track

I'm going to be in Homestead this weekend for Chin (either Sat or Sun) as a photographer, so whoever will be there I'll update afterward the link where you can see pictures from there.

 

I'll be there Saturday, blk 997 turbo. Number 71

I've been an instructor for both clubs for a few years now. Chin is my favorite, they take safety very seriously and offer the most track time.

 

Thanks.
And Ken sorry I couldn't make it this weekend finally...
