December AX - bring friend/family for rides

[Kim Crosser]

Why not consider this a "Track Tour" so that folks can put their young-uns in the passenger seat to see what all the fun is about?

The "Track Tour" is something QUITE different. It is usually a lunch-time parade lap at significantly reduced speeds (no tire squealing, basically no braking required). In the "Taste of the Track" the passenger is riding with an instructor at normal (fast!) speeds, and may be subject to spins, slides, etc.
We could do a "Track Tour", but that is not anywhere close to the experience of an at-speed "Taste of the Track" drive.
Track Tours usually require a slow pace car to make sure nobody tries to see what their family sedan will do, and would require us to shut down the track - less track time for participants.

Kim - Yes, we'll probably do the track tour too. Since we've been getting 15 laps per AX, if we cut it to 5-4-4, we could fit in a tour. We'll probably do the tour after the second session. We'll put together an anticipated schedule so folks would know when the tour might be and the guests could come down then. We'll have a little "school" before hand to explain what we do and the line (to be taken slowly of course). Depending on participation we might run the tour in 2 (3?) sessions.

Even though it is an other car AX, we'll certainly have to have a Porsche as the pace car - preferably one with wings!
