You'll be fine. Especially as a novice. I've driven Daytona 4/5 times now. The banking doesn't need sticky tires. The G forces sucks you right into the track. you don't even turn the wheel on the banking. its just one really long straight basically.

perfect!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the input all. I am on street tires with a 2004 s2000. Sounds like it should work out.

Looking forward to a day trip to Daytona. Wife put the kibosh on Sebring with Chinn in November, she is doing the Disney half-marathon.
I'll be home with the kids.

For any of the other dads out there, Hooked On Driving has an event on Monday June 19th at Roebling (day after Father's day). Good excuse to take the day off of work.

I know the track isnt the best but this seems like a decent deal if you want alot of track time.

Thanks for posting this, so if you do all six days it comes out to about 125 per track day. Regular price is about 200?

We paid $150 last time.

Starke in the summer is too hot for me.

Mother in law is in town for the weekend. So, I am heading to the FIRM Sunday morning for a track day.
I just switched my pads to Carbotech XP10 and XP8, we'll see how it goes.
Looks like I am the only s2000 registered so far...

Nice!
Did they offer any discounts?

Jaxbeachrob

No discount. I did three sessions and bailed out at noon because of the heat. I am now a fan of Carbotech pads. I ran xp10 on the front and xp8 on the back. A really big improvement over stock and not too loud around town
