iM Upcoming Events: Revwerks Track Day April 25th
Peeps, summer is coming and our guys over at Revwerks is holding their first track day on April 25th, which is roughly a month away! For locals – we know that this is quite possibly the last season that Race City will be open to us and unfortunately, the last summer that we can safely run our cars on a dedicated closed circuit. Rhys at Revwerks has been nice enough to set up many lapping days over the summer for everyone to participate and we’ll keep you updated as to when those days are – over on the sidebar at upcoming events, who to contact, and the general low down.
*Those that have not attended a trackday before should not feel uncomfortable attending. Instructors attend these lapping days and are more than happy to give pointers and ride alongs to get you comfortable with the track. This is not a full on race day, so you go at your own pace.
With that said, once again the first one is going to be April 25
You can feel free to contact Rhys by email at rhys@revwerks.com or give him a shout at (403) 681-0244.
Time: 8AM – 4PM
Cost: $200
*Lunch included
Deposits do need to be put down beforehand to be on the list for these trackdays. You have a few ways of securing your position.
1) Contact Rhys, and send him an email money transfer or meet up.
2) Leave deposits with Ryan Dandurand at the BMW Gallery in Crowfoot Crossing. Deposits should be put in an envelope with your name printed on it. Ryan can be contacted at (403) 667-2244.
