Yup sitting here in the hotel burnt and tired and feeling pretty good it was an awesome day met some awesome people I am sure they will chime in and post pics shortly as I am about to go to sleep. Pics will come though. Plus there is another member who is a lurker who was there with us and took first place in the autocross Joseph F. I can’t think of his screen name right now lol. I will probably add pics in the morning.

I loved this experience. I have a second chance to go again, but I planned on giving it to a friend who didn't get to go. Definitely worth the trip out there.

I didnt find out about the octane academy until it was too late. I'm pretty sure it would have been awsome to go.

Any idea where they are ending up @koozy? I know someone posted they sold off the Mustangs from the driving school, since the track was sold. Did some private driving school snatch these up to try and continue running a driving program with them?

Check their ford racing page, they had a press release about it a few months back. I don’t recall exactly where, but it’s at one of their already established track venues.

Ya I think they sold off the Mustangs because they are replacing them with newer ones at the new track supposed to be somewhere in North or South Carolina. That is also supposedly were the Octane Academy cars are going as well.
I am just trying to figure out why they are keeping them because the rumor was it was done. Yet they kinda made a public statement it was being moved. Perhaps they will start back up as a paid for school for second FiST and FoST owners and people interested in racing FiSTs and FoST’s.
as I sit here with my Octane Academy shirt on as I have to do laundry. lol

They are going to the Charlotte Motor Speedway Complex. They will continue ST Octane Academy for another year or so and then sell off the cars. Good news because they'll be local. The RS should be for sale soon.
