Dirt cheap for a track day. But then, its ECR...

I just went to a mirror and watched myself say "ECR sucks and needs to be repaved".

I loved Ecr aside from a few spots a few years back.... From watching recent video... The track conditions have deteriorated. It is bumpy...

It does appear to be a pure trackday with no teaching/school.

And that's what I thought. If someone is just looking for seat time, it's cheap.

You're definitely going to want some solid instruction for your first track day!

Yeah... Instead of the pat on the back for being smooth... They give trophies and even cash for being voted smoothest and such... Lots if giveaways usually too. Tools, tires, etc...

So was the plan.. I won twice and never received my photos from Blair... Once I even paid for additional ones... Never received those either. Eventually I gave up

I had to remind him via e-mail, after which the credit was applied right away. Did you ever contact Blair about it?

Yeah, a few folks in the club have had issues with Blair. Digi ordered a CD of photos from him and it took almost a year for him to finally get them. Redonkulous.

I think he has a better system now and gets things turned around in a reasonable time.

Interesting. I regularly buy images from Blair, and the longest that I've ever waited was a week. Perhaps he has fine-tuned his MO over the past few years.
