Anybody interested in joining me to go down to a SCDA trackday on April 25th? It will be 5 half hour sessions.

 
Yea, for that price id rather go to NHMS and pay half the price without the long DONKEY drive lol.

 
Jeez guys, don't you realize that motorsports cost money. $545 for two days of instruction is CHEAP. not only do you have fun, you might even actually learn something about driving your car at the limit...there's a bit more to the art of driving than sliding around in snowy parkin lots, lads! SCDC is a great group, the real deal, Instructiors keep you on a pretty short leash until you demonstrate good skiils, then you can go as fast as your skill judgement and equipment allow.

Put things in perspective before bitchin about the price. $545 is less than the entry fee for a one-day rally. it's similar to one day rally course at Team O'Neil. Same price as a big speeding ticket. Way less than a nice new set of fat wheels n tires. less than a tank of fuel oil, etc etc

wow I would love to do this!!! Dave is right, you get what you pay for in this instance, for 545, you get to drive you car ON A REAL RACETRACK, with an instructor, giving you pointers on how to drive BETTER and FASTER.

 
It might be something to look into. I don't think I could do the two days but I might do the one for cheaper. What are the requirements to be able to drive. Helmet, fire suit, licenses???

 
just show up with a car in solid condition (think AX-worthy, no loose stuff in ca, good tires brakes etc) and a helmet. you're driving with an instructor, it's a learning experience not a race. only license needed is valid driver's license.

oh that plus a few Benjamins! NHIS one-day is closer and yes it's a couple less Benjamins cheaper.

 
I was just going to go for the Monday, not both dates, but work got in the way. I have a major presentation on Tuesday so I'll be trying to go to one of the later dates. The reason I am going all the way to Watkins Glen is, from what I understand, it is much faster than NHMS.
