This would make it seem that since I do not hold any license from any "recognized motorsports organization" I am ineligible. I read your words and are presenting some observations, merely.
You have been at this event before and it is truly an arrive and drive ordeal and those who wish to participate are looking at $325 + $25 for the temporary license? (aka $350 for the track day experience)
I understand how you have laid it out in your replies, and I appreciate your/s efforts. I look forward to a reply that can help eliminate any possible confusion.
I spoke with Suraj regarding information and replies to Kyle's question a couple weeks ago. This is the first chance I've had to sit down and write this post. I contacted Jennifer Rymer (the EMRA representative) for clarification and she directed me to David Addiss who is in charge of the licensing. After my conversation with him it was clear that we will have 2 possible registration outcomes:
1) If you already have a current valid license from one of the other sanctioning bodies, you will be able to get the temporary weekend license for EMRA for $25. This will make your Track day $350 ($325 + $25)
2) If you do not have a current valid license, as I suspect would be the case for most of our members, you will need to sign up for Time Trial school. You will have classroom sessions as well as an instructor for your initial sessions. Once proficiency is demonstrated you may be granted the right to run solo or even move to the intermediate group. This will be solely at the discretion of the instructors so take the classroom and initial laps seriously. At the end of the day you will receive an EMRA Time Trial license valid for one year. Your cost will be $75 for the class & licensing. This will make your track day $400 ($325 + $75)
