Our Wifi is pretty awesome.

I rather they get some proper training in car control and how to properly handle an off.

There’s a guy who street drives his F40 to Road America (for approx an hour), and then tracks the snot out of it. He’s pretty awesome.

I'm eyeing a 2011 1500 Extended Cab LTZ for a towrig that will also be daily driven status... This gives me hope I would be happy with such things. It doesn't have as many as the bells and whistles, but still has heated seats and the backup camera which are most important to me.

Have you ever read the history of Road America? It's really cool to see how quickly it was built. They staked out of the course in March and April and were racing by September. http://www.scharch.org/Road_America_H…

I was shopping for my first brand new car, and was in the early stages of deciding what I wanted. I did however, know what options I wanted in this particular car. Hatchback, 6-speed, turbo.

My home track is Road America. My first track day my instructor had to go find the instructor in the Audi TT ahead of me about why they refused to give me a point for an entire lap (3 passing zones and well over 3 minutes of time, because newbs.)

27 with a separate 1, SMF.

In short, yes. Also, smaller mass can handle high g-forces better.

You're a better person than me. I almost walked out of registration once because they tried to force me into Ladies. Which would have then dropped the number of cars in my actual class down to the point it would be eliminated and thrown into Open or whatever they do with not enough people classes. There's no way I…

Ehhh, I know there are some guys at track days who get pissed I'm faster than them. Especially when they see a Cobalt with a pink bowtie all up in their mirror. I usually come across one or two an event who will refuse to point me by, and I have to end up rolling through the grid to get away from them.

If you want to have that large fan base of women, it helps to not alienate them and make them uncomfortable to be at races.

What do you think Porches are made to do then, exactly? Especially the model involved, which is just a step or two removed from a full racecar. The driver held a racing license, he knew how to handle a car like that. He also would have known the risks of driving like that on the street.

Kinja fail?

I saw a 211 at a track day back in October, and now I finally know what it is! Me and a friend were talking with the guy from the motorsports company who does crew for it, and they have all sorts of problems getting parts for it, since we are in the States and it's so rare here.

Enjoy! I made the trip down there last year, and had fun. I know there's some crazy campsites around the horseshoe. I managed to completely fry myself with a sunburn the first couple days, and ended up hiding in shade for most of the race until the sun started going down, which wasn't all that great.

I know both the Milwaukee and Chicago SCCA regions have been doing these half day events for at least the past three years now... I hate to say it, but they can be hit or miss on the quality of how they are organized, and the quality and amount of instructions available.

That's because that's about all you really need for a track day. Good brakes, good tires, working lights, not leaking fluids, not having body work threatening to fall off.

My spark plugs are still under $1 each, I think they were .84 last time I stocked up. I just run the basic copper ones, which helps. And heat ranges are still a thing.

This is what happens when you don't get a plug fully tightened! I launched one right out of the head at a track day last fall, I thought the engine blew up. I change the plugs before every track day, and apparently didn't get one all the way tight. So the last session of the day, it shot out like a rocket while…
