VOA Bucket List Event #1: Drive COTA for $595!

The Circuit of the Americas (COTA) track in Austin, Texas, is the newest and highest rated Formula One track in the world with its 3.4 miles of smooth asphalt, 20 of the sexiest curves in racing history, and 133 feet of elevation changes. Driving COTA at speed is quite simply the ultimate bucket list item for track rats and race enthusiasts alike. On December 13th, 2014, the VOA South Central Texas region is providing VOA members with the opportunity to experience this thrill for the unheard of price of just $595 per driver! This price includes track rental, safety staff, instructors, dinner and event shirt. Bring a guest to the track and dinner for only $95!

This is not lead/follow, it’s an open track day with liberal passing in four run groups of 35 cars! Beginner, intermediate, advanced, and pro, so no matter what level experience you are or what type of Viper you have, we WILL accommodate you! Each group will receive five 20 minute sessions during the day. Instructors will be provided to all and will assist and coach you through this very technical track.

To make things more fun, there’s a Hill Country cruise and BBQ crawl on Friday, optional spouse activities on Saturday, and an optional brunch cruise on Sunday. Registration will begin on August 8th, the event website will go live very soon and will have all the details! This is a club-exclusive event, so you must be a VOA member to register! Space is limited to 140 drivers, once it is sold out there will be no more openings, so don’t delay on registration day. And this is one of the best times of year, it's avoids the heat and humidity of July-Sept!!

There may never be a cheaper opportunity to drive COTA, so if it’s on your bucket list, do it now! In fact, this is the first of a series of VOA “Bucket List Events” that VOA will be featuring around the country. It makes a great Christmas gift for your track-rat Viperholic, or for yourself!

Um Yes I will be doing this! How awesome is this!

[SmoknTires]

This is all part of the phase II activities we'll be planning outside of the NVE's... Let the fun begin!!

This is the best time to be at COTA. And it's a REAL track event - no lead/follow... also has several other social activities thrown in.

This will be COOL. My T/A will see you there. ;.)

Want to thank Kurt Robinson, Central Texas for doing the legwork on this one, having driven this track a few times now I can say it is one of the smoothest most challenging and fun tracks you will ever drive. With 20 turns and elevation, all levels of drivers will be taxed. Drove the 5 times for 20 min. format a month ago and found it moved along better than the standard 4 for 25 that most folks use. You will get plenty for a day.

Probably gonna go but not bringing the car.

[daytonprowler]

VOA Officers and Directors, we never get a day off! ;)

[ViperTony]

Nice deal! I plan on hauling one or both Viper for this. Nice job!!

[Coloviper]

Both Vipers? Now you are just bragging Tony! ;)

LOL, sorry I didn't mean it that way.

Tony- this will come out in the FAQ but it is a good point. The registration is for a driver. A driver may bring multiple cars if he or she wants. So if you have a race car and a brand new GenV you can bring them both to drive!

[Viper Girl]

Great job scoring the track at a killer price!

[Viper Girl]

LOL, sorry I didn't mean it that way.

So we have to register and pay for this event in Aug, 5 months before the actual event?.

Certainly don't have to register in August, but with only 140 spots open I would recommend it.

We don't all get to be movie stars like you either, I saw your cammio in Sharknado 2 yesterday.

[Viper Girl]

Buy the ticket... with an event like this.. it's safe to say if anyone can't make it for whatever reason... The ticket will be an easy sell to another club member.

[Scott Mannny]

Kurt, We will have 11 Oklahoma members coming and maybe 2 more.

Thank you for putting this AWESOME event together!!!

[chesapeake07]

Want COTA for Christmas worse than Ralphie wanted that damn BB gun!

Kurt,

I think this is an awesome idea. Plenty of time for our Club and OKC to work on this and put something together. Might have to be a week long affair, what with travel and all, but if combined with a holiday weekend, should be doable for most members, and I'm definitely in.

I would love to see that ACRX out on COTA- hope you change your mind

Did anyone get a confirmation email? I got the page that said I was all good, but no email.

[SmoknTires]

Yes, it sends a similar message via email. It uses the email that you typed in the email field. Either email happed to be wrong, or something blocked. Happens to folks often. PM me your email address and I can check.
