Those who have run COTA, please read.

Those that have run COTA have you been allowed passengers? I am planning on running April 25th-26th with Speedventures(Speedventures is out here on the west coast), and i am one of their instructors. This being said, they dont know yet if COTA has any stupid rule about passengers. They wont have an answer for 2 weeks, and i want to get started with what i need to do in the event i can have a passenger.

At a recent HPDE, only the instructor run group could have a non-instructor front seat passenger (at speed). Passenger must be at least 18 and sign a waiver. Of course, all must wear helmet (duh ...).

You will LOVE driving on this track. Make sure you watch F1 replay to see the line - its very similar for non-race cars.

This is great news since im an instructor with Speedventures. Like i say they dont have to official word yet, but i will be passing this on to them, and yeah, i cant wait. This will be the only thing i will be able to do this year, im guessing this is going to be a $4000.00 weekend.

Mark,

I'm on the west side of Houston. 128 miles to COTA from my house. You're welcome to stay with me if you like...might save a few dollars. Food, beer and lodging. I'm planning to sign up as well.

Hey Travis, good to hear from you. That is super cool of you thank you
I dont know yet if i will make it, it all depends on passengers. I plan on bringing my 29 year old son with me, but im not going if he can only watch, so we'll see how this shapes up over the next couple weeks.

Reach out to Mark Feffman here,

He has run events at COTA last year and again this year.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
Track fix.

Porsche Club of America (PCA) is at COTA often, as is the BMW club. I would check their sites for info on whether passengers can ride.
