    Road course track day

    Some of you guys have shown interest in a track day so I thought I would pass this along.

    Torqued racing solutions is having a track day @ Nelson Ledges this month. This is a cheap way to get on the track and enjoy the day. This track is a blast and you will learn a lot by watching and participating.

    I'm unsure if I'm going yet, if I can swing it I will be there!

    Yeah - I saw that it is only $110 if you pre-register, and $130 after that.

    I took the Cobra to a Torqued Racing track day at BeaveRun last fall and it was a blast. Mark A. was an instructor that day and was a huge help.

    I drove up there and drove back. Its the best bang for the buck when it comes to track days. Your gonna miss a hell of a fun day because you can't take your gun. It's out in the middle of nowhere so you should feel at home.

    There is a decent hotel 15 mins from the track. Shawn puts on a fun event with TONS of track time. Killer deal.

    How about the 2 of you borrow a truck and trailer, and trailer one car out there and drive the other car. Then if someone breaks you have the trailer to drag it home.

    no cage required and the tech is about the same as PRP. just have to remove all loose items including floor mats. need a helmet(motorcycle helmet allowed) and seat belts and of course real shoes no flip flops or sandals.

    last one I went to even allowed ride alongs.
