I will be organizing the Vintage practice day, please contact me directly of you need any information. (karace90@shaw.ca).
Experienced turn workers have already volunteered for this practice day.

Note; open wheel and closed wheel do not practice at the same time. Any groups with extreme differences in lap time may be separated.

As a recent newbie, I understand how you feel about practice days. But the reality is, other than the handful of new drivers who are incredibly excited about being on the track every single minute they can, very few people actually want to come out and practice before every weekend.. After a season or two, you'll come out to the first practice day to shake off the spider webs and make sure you didn't break anything in the "winter rebuild". After a few years, you won't even bother with that.

A lot of the people that run at Mission, only run at Mission. So they're not changing gears every weekend, having to relearn the track, changing ride heights and alignment settings.. Once you find things that sort of work, the 6/7 weekends a year will be enough!

edit: one other thing is that once you run the track enough, the actual driving on the track isn't all that exciting.. It's the racing that keeps you coming back! And there ain't no racing on Fridays 

I  can understand how some might not want to practice  due to time and money restraints as well as getting the track volunteers to run it , But I am sure there must be people out there that want to practice  to get better , there is always room for improvement . I understand i am a new driver and my excitment and enthusiasm  is high , but i love this sport and i can not honestly see that ever change no matter how many years i have been racing. I will always want to strive to be a better and safer racer  and will want to set  a new personal best each and every time out  on the track . The best way to be a better driver is seat  time seat time  seat time . I am sure I am not the only driver out there who wants to improve their racing skills . I know I have lots to learn and the best way is practice practice practice . It is not only good for you but your fellow racers as well,  the better race drivers we become the safer it is for all of us on the track . I know I am personaly a better driver now than my first novice race and it is all due to seat time ( practice and race ) I remember turn one of my first sr  race ...holy sh....  that was a lesson all its own  i thought  to myself" they are all mad men behind the wheel "... now i want to be one ...lol      Todd # 124

There will be 30-40 cars on May 24th, come out and practice or come out and help on one of the corners, you never know what you might learn. There's a BBQ at the end of the day

Just now read this post.. If I could, I would! No racing for me this year, but I will try to help with the flags at some point.. It was a great learning experience every time I had a chance to spend a day at a corner station! Best seats in the house..
