Events / 2018 - Porsche Club Sheriff's Track Schedule

« Last post by Lrn2Go on August 10, 2018, 02:12:00 pm »

Location: Edmond Fire Department Station #5 (5300 East Covell Road, Edmond, OK 73034 United States)
Cost: $30 for non-Porsche Club members ($20 if you are)
Type: Technical AutoX/Autocross, single pass, single-car, timed.

Month	Date/Time
January	15th - 10am
February	9th - 10am
March	30th - 10am
April	19th
May	4th
June	29th
July	13th
August	12th - 8am
September	9th - 8am
October	14th - 8am
November	TBA?
December	TBA?

The Porsche Club is runs periodic track days on Saturdays/Sundays at the Edmond Fire Training Center in Edmond, OK.

$30 (cash) to run. The required drivers meeting time changes, and they start late, but if you miss the required drivers meeting, you won't be allowed to race! Look for time updates here as I get them. All times posted are when the gates open (8am), and all driving is supposed to begin at 9am.

Their tracks tend to be very technical with a few areas to stretch your legs. The events are all timed and you get they usually run them one at a time. The times I've run with them they seem pretty nice and easy going, but sticklers when it comes to their rules (fair stuff... like be at the drivers meeting on time). You'll need a helmet (they have a few loaners), and they have instructors that will ride with novice drivers if they want (which is pretty cool), but you can NOT have passengers during timed laps. More often than not it'll start late... but they'll straight lock you out if you don't make it in time for the drivers meeting. You've been warned.

This is a thing they used to do at the old Sheriff's track, I've not been to the new place, so take this with a grain of salt, buuuuuuutttt... After the normal timed laps, and if they have time, they usually allow "fun-runs". These are non-timed laps that anybody can take (paid or not), with or without passengers (with proper safety equipment of course). These are great if you just want a couple laps for giggles, want to take someone for a spin, want to switch cars, or whatever else you may want to do.

OCIDE encourages those that can to stay and help pic up cones and clean up after the event.

Here's the map and all that.

Remember... timed laps need less OCIDE members to officially fight for the trophy! Who's gonna take it home?!

Had a good time at the track day on April 26th. Really fast laps and lots of time out there make for an awesome time. Justin, Paul, and myself were present, with a fastest time (and trophy) going to me at a 51 seconds.

Events / 2014 - Hallett HST Schedule

« Last post by paul.leblond on February 26, 2014, 08:05:47 pm »

"Hallett is a 1.8 mile, 10 turn road racing course located 35 miles west of Tulsa, OK. With over 80 feet of elevation change, Hallett is considered technically challenging and can be run clockwise or counter-clockwise ­ making it two completely different race courses."

Location: 59901 E. 55 RD,  Jennings, OK 74038  (It is located 35 miles west of Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the Highway 99 exit of the Cimarron Turnpike.)
Cost: $125 (+$50 for one time Drivers Education class)
Type: 5x 15 minute lapping sessions, multi-car, full passing. Fast and Technical. Vehicle needs to be race-ready. This track is bigger and faster than the Sheriff's Track in almost every way, so the demands on your car will be greater for extended periods of time.

Hallett has a schedule for their High Speed Touring up. The schedule is as follows:

    March 29-30  ccw
    April 26-27  cw

We mail you an interactive high performance driving DVD to study. You must complete a short exam at the track in the 8:30 a.m. DE classroom.

Show up at the Hallett Tower, first floor, before 8 a.m. the day you have entered (The spots are often sold- out before the event, so do not delay in sending in the entry form, linked below).

Events / 2014 - Oklahoma Mustang Club Track Schedule

« Last post by Lrn2Go on February 24, 2014, 10:38:19 am »

This year we're adding a new clubs track days to our roster... the Oklahoma Mustang Club! We attended this event for the first time this year and had a really great time! Can't wait for the next one.

Location: OKC Sheriff's Track (4001 N Air Depot, Oklahoma City, OK 73145 United States)
Cost: $25
Type: High speed autocross, laps, multi-car, un-timed.

Month	Date/Time
February	22nd - 8a
March	29th - 8a-5p
April	26th - 8a-5p
May	31st - 8a-5p
June	21st - 8a-5p
July	5th - 8a-5p
August	30th - 8a-5p

This club runs things (in my opinion) "fast and loose". Their track is open and quick (I hit 99 mph last time on the main straight, according to a motorcycle cop who posted up for a bit to watch cars as they fly by).

• Passengers are allowed with a Helmet.
• Brake condition is at a premium on this course, so make sure your pads are good and fluid is fresh!
• They allow passing in 2 locations (front and back straights), ONLY when the person in front waves you by!
• The blue flag means "let someone pass when safe".
• Minimal workers in the far corners, no extra flags, and no walkie talkies. Keep an eye out for the Yellow flags at the start and for drivers in the grass!
• At the moment, lunch is provided.
• Track runs until they get tired.
• No "off" penalties unless excessive.
• As long as you stay on the track, sliding or burnouts are not against the rules.
• At the end of the day they allow a few hand-timed runs for fun if time allows.

Events / 2014 - BMW Club Sheriff's Track Schedule

« Last post by Lrn2Go on February 21, 2014, 01:52:32 pm »

The BMW Club of Oklahoma provides a very technical Auto X track out at the OKC Sheriff's Track.

OCIDE members have had a mixed experience when it comes to attending these events! - The "general" consensus is that many people have felt "looked down on" for not driving a BMW (or lacking experience) and not felt very welcome... but if you're looking for more seat time, this might be something worth dealing with.

These dates will not be added to the official calendar.

Location: OKC Sheriff's Track (4001 N Air Depot, Oklahoma City, OK 73145 United States)
Cost: $30
Type: Technical AutoX/Autocross, single pass (4 passes per heat, 2 heats, 8 total), single-car, timed.

Month	Date/Time
March	16th
May	18th
June	15th

Events / 2014 - OKZCC Sheriff's Track Schedule

« Last post by Lrn2Go on February 14, 2014, 02:54:21 pm »

The OK Z Car Club hosts a high-speed track day several times a year, look here for the schedule!

Location: OKC Sheriff's Track (4001 N Air Depot, Oklahoma City, OK 73145 United States)
Cost: $30
Type: High speed autocross, laps, multi-car, un-timed.

Month	Date/Time
April	6th
May	11th
June	22nd
July	6th
August	10th
September	14th
October	12th

The Z Club is runs periodic track days on Saturdays/Sundays at the OKC Sheriff's track off of NE 36th and Air Depot.

$30 (cash) to run. I'll try to add times when I find them out... but it's usually around 8-9am.

Their tracks tend to be very fast paced and utilize the "main" course at the Sheriff's Track. Expect multiple cars on the track at once (usually between 3 and 5), all staggered. There is no official timing equipment, and passing is only allowed in one location, and only if the driver in front of you pulls to the side and allows it. You'll get the most time on the track racing at Z club events, which takes a toll on your cooling and braking system, so I recommend you have those in top shape before attending the event!

The Z club allows you to run with instructors, friends, and/or family in your car during your laps. They will need a DOT approved helmet.

OCIDE encourages those that can to stay and help pic up cones and clean up after the event.

Here's the map and all that.

Remember... un-timed laps (officially) need more OCIDE members to officially fight for the trophy! Who's gonna take it home?!
