Have you ever wanted to Drive your car on a track? Here's your chance! Newbies welcome. We have Mopar friendly instructors available, driving class, and instructor ride-a-longs. This is much smaller group than typical cattle-call rice-burner track days. You'll have way more run time and much smaller more frequent run groups with increased safety.

Spring Fling Speed Festival X April 21st, 2016 at Willow Springs Raceway, Rosamond CA



Direct contact Tim Herren from Alltime Racing for payment and question: therren_2000@yahoo.com

It's a Mopar Track Day Thursday April 21, at Willow Springs Raceway. Spring Fling Mopar show at Woodley Park, April 23 & 24 Sat-Sun, Van Nuys California.

This event is the complete opposite of sitting beside your car at a car show. This place is alive with cars blasting down the front straight, cams loping as the cars come off track and cruise through the pits. If your up for going on track then you might see and hear what its like for a NASCAR Daytona to go flying by you!

The Day starts off with breakfast in the track diner, followed by the Driver's Meeting. Then it's upstairs for Performance Road Race Basics. Then out on track to get signed off by an instructor for a full day of 2.5 miles on "The fastest track in the West".

Schedule: Thursday Apr 21
7:00 am Drivers meeting
8:00 am Course open to the first group
8:00 am New Driver instruction class and ride along instruction
12:00 pm Lunch
5:00 pm Track Closed
6:30 pm Dinner

NEW for this year will be Happy Hour at the track the afternoon before. Bring your Enclosed car trailer, RV, or Camp Trailer and cook out at the track starting Wednesday afternoon. This is purely optional.

BEAKING NEWS, still working out the timeline, Bob Tarozzi will be signing copies of his new book and telling more stories of his amazing adventures.

In Addition I have another Chrysler chassis engineer , Bill Surber, and Chrysler Liaison to Petty Enterprises from 1968- 197?, Like Bob, he also worked at Hurst with the Big Block Darts And AMX's on their Dart Program. His name, Bill Surber. He is looking forward to tell his stories as well and he has some good ones as well.

While I love the idea of this, the date makes it a deal breaker. The previous events were always 2 days before the show. I doubt many that travel for the show are going to hang out 4 days after the weekend show to make it to this event.
Too much trouble to get it a week earlier?

I'm thinking Steve has some dates wrong here. Track day 21st, Thursday, cruise 22nd, Friday, show 23&24. Does this sound right Steve?

Yes that is correct. I had one date typed wrong that I spotted. Does it make sense and look right now?

Rylispro - 73 Barracuda
71autoxr (Arizona) - 71 Challenger

Others:?

I'm tentative based off of whether or not my car will get done.

So what is the cost for registration? It's realistic that the RicerCuda will be ready this year. What sort of safety gear will I need? Thanks, Steve

I forgot the exact amount from last year. And I don't know if their are any changes. I'll get alltime (Tim Herren) to chime in.

For safety gear just need a helmet, battery strapped down, and a radiator overflow.

This is Billy from north of Seattle, WA.

He's trying to get a caravan going from the Pac NW to Speed Fest and Spring Fling.

Cool, Thanks Steve. After the Bears game I'm heading over to get a few hours on the car, been fighting getting the X-pipe to line up with the mufflers/tailpipe. Next, finish wiring up to broadband gauge, gas gauge and the ammeter. Any idea where I can check out a helmet? The only place local I can think of is Hawaii Racing. I'd like to try them on as opposed to guessing and buying online.

I'll ask Troy. I try to avoid Hawaii.

I know www.racecarfactory.com has some. But they are in Iwrindale.

, a week earlier, I'd bring two cars and make it a father/son outing.

I didn't say that but I'm not going to disagree. Irwindale isn't that far off, since I've still got to get my hood made up and have Inland make up the driveshaft I could just make a day of it.

I will be heading out with Paul and Sterling again, going to get the airport Charger out on the track.
I can start booking now I have dates.

You running for the day or just at lunch?

For final pricing I'm waiting to get next years pricing from the track. Approx $300.

I started doing some drag racing this past year. Its close to $200 registration for the weeekend. Drag racing has really gone up seems to me. $300 for a track day is very reasonable for the hours of driving time you get comparatively.

Helmets are a must try on deal. Wear it aroung the store for 15 minutes to make sure. Snug is perfect. Loose is bad.

Okay... Glad to see that there was a small boo-boo with the dates. I am in. I was bummed when I first read this last night because I have several things I'm doing to my car. Better seats, new guages, seat belts, sticky tires...
This is good. All is well in the world now.

Thanks, no worries. The last flyer I have saved was from '08 and it was 295, 245 for early registration. Eight years down the line I expect it to cost more. I'm just looking to budget it in.

I'm in
