Hey you guys know if anyone is holding a track day or drift event ? Before I have to put it away I'd like to get some more seat time in the car.

 

I talked to Eric at the Alfa club and he says they're full. On the evening Test and Tune, will it be cold, like below 50 degrees to the point where a track newbie like me may have problems because of the tires (question 1)? And will it be harder because of the lack of daylight (question 2)?

I don't know if it'd be worth the price of admission to try to "discover the limits of the car" in the cold or rain (last I checked it was forecasted) or dark.

Any suggestions to try to learn the limits, practice countersteering, toe and heeling, etc., on my 2004 (question 3)?

Thanks,
Young

 

Wait till next year, then look for one of the SpeedTrialUSA events.

The clubs listed above are just offering "track days" for you to go out on your own. SpeedTrial can set you up with an instructor that can help you start down the path of learning these things.

I just got a PM from Harry (HECASH) and he menionted that both of the events he listed for this coming weekend have instructors available.

Sorry, my bad.

Road America is a BAD place to try to learn. Mistakes can get VERY costly at RA.

Good group, fun track, a little expensive. Instructors on-hand. Weather may be not so good though.
