Track dayzzzzz

Starting this thread to gain interest in track days in Norcal. I'm attending a track day at Laguna Seca with Northern California Racing Club on the 31 of January, price was $194. There will be 4-5, 20-25 minute sessions I believe without an instructor, although you can request a ride along. It would be cool to see other Acurazine members there!

Just purchased the track day at Sonoma on the 15 of March with the national auto sports association.. I did have to buy a year membership so total cost was 243.00 but i plan on at least a few more sessions with NASA so I guess it was worth the extra fee.

What kind of tech inspection did you have to do? I worry that if they knew what I was running they would want me to have a roll cage. I would love to come out and run the TL at one of these track days.

I emailed NASA norcal, and asked if i had to have a shop inspect the car, or if I could tech inspect the car myself. I was told as long as safety items like seatbelts and steering wheel etc. were not tampered with and your car is 10 years and newer, you are ok to self tech. If in doubt email them. scott@nasacarcontrol.org

I know huh. Damn looks like a blast! Any reason for your car to be all different colors and incomplete or is that your track TL and you have a daily too?

In the almost 10 years ive had my car, shes definitely seen better cosmetic days.. Just bad luck with getting into accidents and having liability insurance and what not.. She still looks great on track though lol.
