Anyone want to put together a track day in Central/So Cal?
I know we tried this a couple years ago and failed miserably. It seems like there are more and more people tracking or thinking about tracking their TLs. It would be fun to get a group of fellow TLs together for Willow Springs or Buttonwillow. This way we all sort of know each other, the pressure is off, and we can help out the guys that have never done it before. I just really don't want to do it on a 105 degree day for the car's sake. I have a feeling this will never take off but I thought I would throw it out there as a feeler.

I was going to start tracking my Si before I decided to trade it in for the TL, so once I get used to the TL I'll probably hit the track with it. Get me a good baseline before I start modding it, until that time, I'd be down to hang out with the guys. I'm going to the RedLine Time Attack event this weekend July 4th at Willow Springs, just watching this time. Anyone going?

Once I get new rotors / pads / brake fluid / pads, I would seriously consider tracking my Accord.
However, what kind of time frame / date are we talking about?

XtremeSpeed's first event is scheduled for 7/31 & 8/1 at Streets of Willow. The cost is only $120 for the full day and will include free AMB lap timing and free instruction for beginners.

Willow Springs is far as hell though. If you guys get this going, I want to join too. I want to at least track my car once in its lifetime. Feels like TSX'ers have been left out

Kinda like going to the movies. Almost everyone goes with their buddies. So the fun factor won't be as high going alone.

I swear I did not see that thread. How were your experiences? Did you prep the car in any special way? Is it noob friendly?

I had no idea you guys were going so regularly but I just discovered the regions section. I would love to try Big Willow to give the new brakes a good workout. It just sucks being in a 258hp car for that type of track but it's a ton of fun regardless.

Wait what do you mean? Because my car is about 215 hp.......

I miss driving RWD high powered cars where you have to manhandle them even on the straightaways and getting into some serious speed before it's time to brake. 258 or 215hp is fine and you can still have fun with it but it takes away a whole dimension to the experience.

August 28, 2010 is the next SpeedTrialUSA event @ Streets of Willow. It sucks, though because tomorrow and Sunday are the only times for the whole year that they offer Big Willow for us to drive. The rest of the track days are on the shorter track setup.
I know I can get us a group rate if people want to sign-up for it. Normal track fee is $160/day + $10 Willow Springs fee.

So am I.
All of the info regarding that day can be found here: http://speedtrialusa.com/
As the date gets closer, I'll contact everyone who wants to join in with the particulars and the discount.
Here's another site that offers track days, but they're more expensive: http://speedventures.com/
