Ohio Valley Austin – Healey Club Driver's Training
Ohio Valley Austin – Healey Club Driver's Training / Gymkhana 2024
Gymkhana Dates:
April 13 (Saturday) Registration 9 to 10AM Live Oaks – Milford, OH 5956 Buckwheat Rd, Milford, OH 45150
July 27 (Saturday)
Its been a long time since our last event (2021). COVID, Insurance, site issues, but like my dad said “persistence and patience pays off”.
Live Oaks finished a 3 year renovation and the site is even better for our event now.
Between the operating group’s desire to have fewer events (I think our demographics has something to do with that) and Live Oaks extensive Motorcycle Training schedule, we were able to squeeze out April 13 and July 27 for us to have a little fun.
Sooooooooooooo…..
- Rain or Shine
Time: The main gate opens before 9:00 AM. First 20 cars - up to 25 drivers. The maximum or cut off is 10:00 AM. Runs start as soon as possible. Clean up about 3:30. The more help picking up cones and cleaning the earlier we leave.
Cost: $30.00 per Driver – Min 8 - Max 25 drivers - spectators free!
All drivers are required to work the course when not driving. Bring chairs and a cooler - No alcohol.
Required Equipment: A safe/functioning car (we will inspect it) any make or model, Helmets are required for drivers and passengers. We have 3 loaners available.
Goal: "Fun & Family Oriented Gymkhana" Meaning - street legal tires driven to the event; No trailered cars unless they are vintage.
This event is designed to be a safe, fun way to enjoy your automobile. No dangerous driving or recklessness will be tolerated. We operate near a residential section, the exhaust system must be street legal for noise. Regardless; we reserve the right to determine if it toooo loud. We want to come back next year..... Remember - you are competing against yourself, not others - come out and have some fun with your car and like-minded people!
