Moroso track rental interest gauge...
It's that time of year again and I'm looking to do another Moroso track rental. Weather hasn't cooled off as much as usual this time of year, but we'll try it anyway.

Looking to see how many would be interested, it's done on a weekday afternoon/evening. You can show up anytime between 4-10pm. Cost is $250/car, they don't all have to be MB's. We cap it at 15 cars.

Reply here if interested and I'll check some dates....

thanks!

I dig my car, but 250 a pop would break the xmas bank. Is it really that much to close off the track ($3750 for the evening?) Ouch I haven't reached that plateau yet. Good luck to you

yea, it's expensive to rent the track, all depends how how many show up, it's about $1500 for the first 6 cars, then they charge for each additional car.... then you have to tip all the track workers, safety crew, etc... etc....

as many as you want until you need new tires..... I usually do about 30 runs, but you could do much more..... no waiting in line, get to practice the launch over and over again.... plus the they prep the track very well so you'll get the best time possible.....

last year we had 4 E55's, CLK55, SLK55, CTS-V with SC, Corvette,
Viper's, Buick GN, Pontiac GTO, Bentley GT, and a few others...

it's not a bad price for all the work involved esp with workers, track prep and insurance. I'm finishing one car now (rx7) and wll get to the C32 next year.
