Hello has anyone heard any info on the track session that is supposed to come with your purchase?

 

Here's the response I got from them not to long ago. Definitely email them to get yourself on there email list

Jason,

It's taking a little longer than we planned for us to get our fleet of Boss 302s built and delivered from the factory for the Track Attack. We're looking at starting the program in late June, but should have all of the exact dates and registration set by early June.

There will be an option for an upgrade to a second day in the Ford Racing High Performance Driving School.

I'll be sure to keep you in the loop.

Congrats again on that new Boss 302. I'm sure you love it!

Rob

 

Thanks, yeah I gave them my email back in april, they did reply, but have not heard anything since then, so thanks for the info

 

Just shot an email off to them asking to get my name on the list as well. Also asked if they're planning on doing the program regardless of whether the TracKey tuning is available yet.

 

I believe they're just waiting on their cars.

 

Already canceled travel plans for this two times, at this point just going to sit back and wait for it to happen instead of trying to be one of the first attendees.

 

Although they aren't showing dates, there is a lot of new information listed.

honestly, that sounds like a day full of angst. the classroom session is going to be a banal discussion of understeer vs oversteer and talking about finding apexes. 'lead and follow' exercises translates to you behind kept behind and instructor 'pace car' going 1/2 speed around the track. yawn. riding shotgun in the final session has zero appeal to me. really, travel to SLC to ride shotgun. boooo.

 

Thanks Dean for sharing that information. I cannot wait to attend this event.

 

I agree, however, you can add a second day upgrade in a 302R with lots of track time.

 

I look forward to going, though I plan on waiting until the TracKey is available. I got a reply to the email I sent and they did indeed indicate they would begin the program as soon as the vehicles arrive, regardless of whether or not the TracKey tuning is available. Considering part of the instruction covers this area, I feel like I'd get maximum benefit being able to actually use the function on the track.

 

I can't imagine those cars not having TracKey on them since they won't be driven on the street. The demo cars at LS in February had TracKey installed.

The second day is in their previous generation GT track cars or Ford Racing Mustang FR500S. I'd prefer my second day in a Boss 302 like the one I have on order.

what is a boss owners kit




thanks rob

 

Heart RPM's increasing now.

 

September or October work for me. I'll probably go for two days.

 

Probably 2 days in October for me. Also curious about the owners kit.

 

October or November I'll be looking at and two days

 

Because you're Big Vito you better go for three days. Talk to Tony about it.

 

Which Tony?
