Extreme Speed Track Events

I ran two track events with Extreme Speed. Yeah the track was fun, but the staff is terrible. First time we were charged over 100 dollars to tow a car off the track with a mechanical failure. The second event I went to one of the staff members snapped at me to listen to the drivers meeting like I was a 12. I’ve been on the track dozens of times, and have enough track days to know what different colored flags mean. I don’t need some smug kid yelling at me to pay attention. They offer coupon book things where you can basically buy a bunch of track days for cheap, but then when an event fills up they say you can’t use them after advertising them as not having any black out dates. They tell you to take a number sticker, then at the last minute mention they’re 20 bucks.
Yeah they’re cheap, but in this case you really get what you pay for.
Save some money but deal with rude, incompetent staff, tons of traffic on the track, and BS charges for any on track assistance (towing, etc.). I haven’t ran an event with them since and stick to the better event organizers. Others organizers are extremely helpful and polite, they even grid you in positions from your previous session’s lap times so there’s no traffic. Something extremespeed doesn’t care about. It really just seems like they’re in it for the money.

I have been tracking with Extreme Speed for about four or five years. I have learned a lot from all the instructors and improved my driving. I have had opportunities to help organize some of the beginner instruction to help folks learn the basics. If you want to get some seat time at a decent price, this is a great opportunity. Just avoid the advanced groups unless you have lots of experience and a competitive car.

I have been running with extreme (Extremespeedtrackevents) since 2010 and this company have been providing a very good opportunity for regular people to be able to drive their cars on the race track with affordable price
.
You will be registering in one of the 4 groups: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Super Advanced. Each group will take turns go on the track for around 20 minutes per session.
I have attended almost all different organizations who run HPDE (High performance driving event) around Socal and extreme definitely have the best price you can ever find for taking your car to the track.
The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They try everything they can to keep everyone safe and they would kick out the people who show unsafe behaviors.
It is definitely the best place for you to start bring your car to the track. You can start from beginner group and move up when you are going faster.
They also offer free group instruction and timing. You can’t beat that price anywhere else.
There are other companies which have less people registered for their events, and you might get more clear track time. However, the price is usually doubled or more.
If you are new, my best advice is: Be safe and consistent, do not try to rush yourself and try to push your limit. You will gain speed over time with your fluency and experience.
Your first goal should be able to drive your car back, not to be the fastest guy out there.
Make sure you inspect your car and maintain it properly since you are going drive it hard, you do not want to break on the track because that will not only kill all the fun but also frustrating.
If you start hitting the traffic within the group you start with, talk to the staff and have them move you up, they are always cool about it.
If you are getting good with it, keep in mind that they also run their events with redline time attack. It is eight events per year competition in difference classes. If you win, you can received prizes like tire, suspension, car parts and all kind of good stuff.
Joel is the one who is in charge of running all the events. If you like your experience driving on the track and want to go to track more often, you should talk to him about their discount offers.
They even offer sponsorships for businesses, not only limited to their events but also with the well known subiefest, mistsufest, 86 nation, etc.
Overall, stay safe and have fun while driving your car at its limit.

Looking for a cheap organization to run with? Welcome to Extreme Speed. If you can’t afford to race, this is the organization to go to. You get what you pay for. Want a track full of traffic? A Stunt environment to do high performance experience driving in? Well here is your place.
I highly recommend this organization for those with tight budgets.
lots of cars on the track. Just like the 5 North between the 605 and the 10. I highly recommend it. Plenty of instruction too! Plenty of instruction n how to acquire coupon book.
Here check out this You Tube Video. They instruct you to go airborne. Not only do you become a good race car driver! You become a stunt driver too! I highly recommend it.

I normally don’t write too many reviews on Unilocal,but I found it necessary to lower the star ratings for this trackdays organizer (or should I say disorganizer) since it seems like many extreme speed employees are writing positive reviews for this group in order to boost their own ratings.
Extreme Speed was my first trackdays group that I ran with, mainly due to their low price. Their prices are the cheapest out there, which is about the only thing they have going for them. However, cheap price comes with its consequences!
First off, in order to make up for their cheap price, they overcrowd the track and sell as many spots as they can. Good luck getting a clean run in, as you will become extremely frustrated with the amount of traffic on the track.
Secondly, the cheap price tends to attract some less desirable drivers. So not only is the track completely crowded, but you find yourself in somewhat dangerous situation while on the track because drivers think they’re all lewis hamilton, trying to pass people without point by and win something, even tho it’s not a competition between drivers. This would be better controlled if they had more staff, but the last few events I attended, they seemed to be lacking flag workers on the track. Granted my last event with them was last year, so I’m not sure if they have improved since then.
Third, don’t fall for their coupon packs. My friends and I fell for it and bought a coupon pack to split among ourselves, since Joel told us there were no blackout dates or restrictions. I’ve run into many occasions where I have tried to sign up for an event with a coupon pack, but either it is miraculously a black out date, or they are sold out. I had them tell me they are sold out for an event, but then my friend was able to sign up online (for full price of course). No matter how many times they announce the coupon pack offers on the loudspeaker (probably once every 30 minutes), and no matter how hot the 2 asian girls Joel walks around with trying to sell the coupon packs, DON’T FALL FOR THE COUPON PACKS DEAL!
Overall, poor customer service, unorganized events, bad and constantly changing policies, shady business practices make for a poor experience at the tracks. Spend a little more money with another track days organizer if you can afford it.

I’ve run with XS for quite a while now and have always had fun. I have one of their coupon packs and have never had a problem with black out dates. When I first bought the coupon pack, I was told to email/​contact the organization a week or two in advance to reserve a spot. I would get an email confirmation and I would be good to go. I have a feeling some people are trying to get in the day before or on the day with the coupon pack. I have also never run into delays to where the first session (of any run group) doesnt start until 12pm. There have been delays due to weather, but that happens with any and all organizations. It’s a cheap (price wise) trackday, it runs pretty smoothly, I can’t complain.

Its funny how on the same day they get 4 – 5 Positive reviews. (which according to Unilocal guidelines is against the rules, getting your friends to post reviews when they have nothing to do with what is going on just to try and bring up your stars)
Everyone who has run with this «organization» (and i use this term very loosely considering there is no organization whatsoever in anything they do) that isnt part of Joel’s «friends» gets the shaft. They constantly over charge consumers, try to force them to buy coupon books, and at the end of the day just suck the fun out of something that is supposed to be solely that, FUN.
Then he takes over Redline Time Attack (an organization who’s name was tainted from previous owners, but was so big at one time people like us were willing to give them another chance) and thinks he can make money off of a passion sport. He Single Handedly killed the passion of many race teams, if it wasnt for quality organizations like Global Time Attack, NASA, SCCA, and other well run events then i fear the so cal scene would be dead to people like this
They can lie all they want and have their friends post reviews that are not true or relevant to what is really going on, but those who live, breathe, eat, and die for this industry know that Joel and his events are not just tarnishing the name, but single handedly destroying everything we love about it.
It is very simple, look at the other organizations he has bought for profit. Subiefest, an event that up until he bought it was a renowned subaru gathering. Now Subaru of North America wants NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM OR THAT NAME.
Same thing is true of the people who run the Rotary version of that, the name eludes me. They have stated they will NEVER AGAIN RUN WITH, SHARE TRACK TIME WITH, OR EVER BE ASSOCIATED WITH XTREME SPEED OR REDLINE TIME ATTACK AGAIN.
If the big organizations are pulling away from him you should really think twice before putting your money, car, health and safety in their hands.
Also you should ask how many cars have flipped in the last year of their events, the number will shock you compared with other organizations. Then again other organizations don’t over load tracks to make more money.
the choice is yours my friends, i hope you make the right one

I have done 3 events with Joel at extreme speed. 2 of the events I rented his mazda miata. The miata performed flawlessly all day long. We had 5 sessions each session was 20 minutes. All three events I attended were at willow springs. They provided free transponders for lap times, free doughnuts at drivers meeting and we also got a free lunch and free helmet rentals included in the miata rental. No free lunch when you buy a track pack though. I found the staff to be friendly. I thought the events were well organized. I would recommend extreme speed, I had a blast and will continue to use them for events. I just bought an M4 and will be on the track with it soon!

I was given the most UHHMAZING birthday gift yesterday, my boyfriend noticed how much of a speed racer I am on the freeway so bringing me here was the best experience EVER! I had never been on track so we took my SLK which is an automatic cause I’m lame and don’t know how to drive a stick shift. I was terrified at first when he took me for a lap as a passenger but once I familiarized myself I couldn’t wait to drive myself. Drove several laps with him in it so he can give me some pointers but after that it was time for me to get on track myself! Let me tell you, I’m HOOKED!!! Now I just need to learn to drive a stick shift!

I have gone to XS events for years. I’ve had the pleasure attending other organizations’ events as well (all which have also been a blast). XS’s specialty is providing a track day experience for the individual who doesn’t have much to spare. Tracking is expensive, tracks fees don’t have to be with XS. They’re very reasonable. But do note that you will have a larger volume of drivers and cars attending these events as the demand is high.
Come prepped and ready. Have fun and be safe.

Cheapest track day out there… until the day of the track day. Compared to other events, the staff is rude and harasses customers, they charge for things that should be free or put ridiculus overinflated prices, and you get the least track time with the most amount of cars out there with an unprofessional staff.

Rude staffing from the top on down. If there is a staff member that isn’t rude, they are probably new. Or you’re a girl with a lot of cleavage showing.
Bait and switch tactics. Coupon books that are sold with no «black out dates» will have black out dates because the management will claim to not have room for coupon book customers. There will be about 20 – 30 participant spots available though at that time out of 80 – 100.
Though they will not state it when asked prior to arriving to the track, they will try to scam participants into buying number decals for $ 20.
Go to another venue and spend the extra $ 30 – 40 because they will actually efficiently run an event without delaying the run groups too much (more track time for everyone), and they will not have nearly as many hidden charges. I.E. charging their participants $ 50 to tow them back to the paddocks if they breakdown on track or $ 500+ if they should have an unexpected fluid leak.

This event is garbage, I paid for coupon pack with no black out dates and guess what surprise there is black out dates. The events are so unorganized, one event I had only 1 session on track and it was already 12 pm. I’ve been to other events hosted by other people and it was way better. Everything ran smooth and I don’t have to wait forever for them to post my lap times up. Stay away from extreme speed the dude Joel is just out there to get your money. A lot of people have been upset lately with their outstanding service to get everyone mad. I’d rather spend my money on another event and get what I paid for out of it. I would not recommend anyone to go with extreme speed, they should change their name to extreme garbage or better yet extremely upset event. He also said free water for everyone there was only 1 24 pack to supply about 50 drivers or 100 not sure how many people he put in one track day but it was a lot of people. Not fair for the consumer to spend that much money on his coupon books and not be able to use them.

If I could give a negative star I would.
Joel Perez is a CROOK!!!
I got my boyfriend a private run group package for his birthday because he loves cars and has been to the race track several times.
First, let me mention I knew nothing about track racing so I asked Joel to give me a good deal and explain what goes on at these events. He promised me that my boyfriend would have his own run group and no one else would be allowed during their run. There would also only be 2 – 3 run groups max that were also private (not the typical large scale groups). There would be lunch and drinks provided and instructors that ride with us; all for $ 1,700. This all sounded great to me, a bit expensive but I didn’t mind paying for a quality package with good service.
So, today was the event and WOW do I EVER regret buying this package through Joel and ExtremeSpeed! We came to the event expecting a private run group at a small event with good service, instead Joel squeezed in an extra run group into a large scale public event and provided us NO additional value. Let me just list all the things that went wrong:
1. Joel was RUDE AS HELL and gauging/​trying to charge for EVERY SINGLE THING! One of the staff, an Asian girl who looked like his little f*ck toy was being pretty rude when my boyfriend borrowed a helmet for me so I could ride with him during the lunch parade. She tried to have us pay, I mean C’mon…I spent THAT much money and you can’t even let me use the helmet for 10 min?!
2. Charged each of my drivers $ 20 for a number sticker which he never mentioned to me on the phone (tried to charge my boyfriend too until I said that was ridiculous that HIS wasn’t at least included to the already inflated price).
3. Had NO WATER OR LUNCH provided!
4. They messed up the sequence of the run groups in the morning and also didn’t have transponders until mid day!
5. Tried to charge one of our friends who came in the afternoon (after I already TOLD him he was coming later and he said it was okay) $ 50 for the drives safety meeting! Then when my friend said forget the drive (there was ONE run left!) Joel said that he would «split it with us» and to just pay $ 25. We still said forget it and he walked away. Later, my boyfriend told me that Joel came up to him and asked that my friend tip the instructor $ 10 and he could run the last track. So my friend did and enjoyed the instructor, Daniel who was the nicest guy out of all of Extreme Speeds staff.
6. Finally, the WORST part… I noticed there were other cars that joined our «private» run group! Toward the last 2, especially the last run, ALL the other cars somehow made it onto our track. When I asked him about it, Joel denied that he let anyone join… What a CROOK AND LIAR!
Needless to say I DO NOT recommend Joel or Extreme Speed to anyone trying to set up a private run group! He does not keep his word or care about customer service and took advantage of an unknowing customer trying to surprise her boyfriend! There are other race organizers that must be better than this crooked company, I warn you and recommend you try the others before coming here!

ESTE rocks! I accompanied my friends on their first track experience at Willow Springs IR, Streets of Willow. The instructors were super friendly and provided a lot of great instruction on how to enjoy the trackday.
Their prices are awesome and include: timing, basic instruction (follow lead instructor’s car to get a feel for the track and driving line), and lunch (although my friend and I didn’t get one — we were the last two in line and were told to go to the diner… fed on adrenaline instead) They provided complimentary donuts in the morning and water throughout the day for drivers. Instructors are available for an additional $ 50.
Another great thing they offer is that the instructors allow other drivers and their guests to ride along in their cars. My friend was able to get a ride in an instructor’s Ferrari! Naturally, we took lots of pics and she was blown away by the experience. Unfortunately, only instructors are allowed to have passengers so if you were expecting to impress/​scare/​turn-​on/​etc. your friends, leave it to the instructors (perhaps offer some $ to instill extra fear).
They frequently offer promo codes for an additional discount and if you buy their multiple trackday package it’s a real steal. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Gather your friends and bring them with you to the track for some fun and friendly competition. And if you drive a miata/​frs/​brz you’ll have a mini meet too.
