Hey Guys,

Saw this on Groupon today....

12 Laps for $199
or 4-Lap Ride-Along from Drivetech for $49
here is all the info
http://www.groupon.com/deals/drivetech-springfield?utm_campaign=UserReferral&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=uu9484793


The dates are July 27th, 28th or Sept 29th.

I'm going to do this on one of the July dates, the 12 laps that is. Would be cool to get some of us to go together. I'll be driving out of Boston...

Anyone interested? 2 days to buy...

Meh.....if this was some road course action, bring your own car sort of deal I'd be into it...but $199 for twelve laps at 130/mph on a one mile oval....it'll be over in less than five minutes. I guess if you're into turning left it isn't a bad deal though.

I wish Lime Rock would do something like this.......now THAT I would do!

They're doing a test and tune day at Lime Rock in a few weeks IIRC. Check their website for more info.

You don't have to go to LRP for a road course, NHMS has a road coarse at Louden. It uses the straights of the NASCAR oval as part of its course but it is a very nice 12 turn highly technical course with good elevation change. It's just that it is closed for events like this. LRP only has one left hander.... NHMS has a nicer mix of turns.
