Howdy Ags,

I am fortunate be a part of the Center for Child Protection in Austin. The Center is the only non-profit in Travis County dedicated to the investigation of Crimes against children.

One of the ways we raise money for the cause is an amazing track day at the country's only F1 track.

Please check out: http://centerforchildprotection.org/events/2017-ride-drive-give/

Simply, one session in a supercar, 3 sessions (about 20 min each) in your own car.

It is an awesome day for sure! And quite the car show with everyone that attends.


Gig 'Em,

Can I ride my motorcycle? I'm not sure my car would survive a twenty minute session, much less three.

Yes, believe there is some way you can buy the pass and tickets for COTA MotoGP 2017 where you can ride your own bike on track for some laps or something like that. They mentioned it on another motorcycle forum. I am sure during other times of year, you could do a track pass whenever they have them.

Good luck with the fundraiser.

I've instructed in a hellcat at cota. Very entertaining. It had about 800 rwhp and some suspension work. Looked stock. Really freaked/pissed some of the exotic guys off.

Is this only for a half day? I have a friend with a AMG GTS that may be interested, but doubt he'll do it for a half day.

Too bad I sold the Escort. Would be pretty sweet to see it doing some hot laps around the track.

If you just want to get your car on COTA but don't care about the charity aspect of things, there are other ways to do it. Edge Addicts, MVP, BMWCCA, NASA, ummm... I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of others.

cbr, who do you instruct with? We can't be too far out of each other's circles.

Thanks for the feedback. There are certainly other ways to get on COTA, very few of them will give you as much on track time as this event, but the point here is to support the Center for Child Protection.

The exotics include, Ferrari 488 and 458, Porsche 911 Turbo & GT3, Audi R8, Nissan GTR, Lambo Huracan & Aventador, McLaren 650s and a Z06

And if you attend because you are probably a "car guy or gal" then you will see one of the best "Car Shows" you've ever been to with all of the drivers cars.

You will also have the ability to do hot laps in the Hyper Car Tri-fecta; McLaren P1, Porsche 918 & Ferrari LaFerrari

We will also have two cup cars a wolf race car and possibly a radical.

If the link does not work simply type or google RideDriveGive.com


Cheers,

Gerry
