SCCA Track Night
I went to one this week at PBIR with a couple of work buddies. Didn't drive, I was taking photos and checking out how they run their event. Met a couple of s2k owners who were driving, but not sure if any of them post on here...
Not a bad way to kill an afternoon/evening. Sure beats the hell out of being in the office. May have to sign up for one for real. They do these about once a month - next one is May 24.

I may go do the May 24th one just to test the car before the next big weekend.
I've heard good and bad, it does suck that you can't get an instructor if you want one, so bad habits can be learned very quickly.
For $150 you get a ton of seat time.

So I guess the price being so low is because it's during the week?
I am a slave to work mon to fri. If I can manage to escape I wouldn't mind to just go and check out how things are run and familiarize myself with PBIR.

Ricky, are you referring to the timing or the organization itself?
Yeah, I certainly didn't get the same level of confidence that I get from a PCA or PBOC event (they keep everything on lockdown), but the # of participants was small enough I wouldn't feel bad driving either of my cars with them.

One thing I did like at the SCCA event was the open/parade lap session that they do at 6pm. Anyone at the track who signed a waiver could take their car out for pace laps. No cost. They put instructors at the head of the line, and at the back. We certainly didn't go barreling down the straights, but you had more than enough room to enjoy the turns a bit. As someone who hasn't driven at PBIR, it was a great track orientation, IMO.

They don't have a novice-only run group where you have an instructor in the car. They only run at palm beach. They'll let literally anyone in any car drive.
Not a big fan.
