I should’ve added that I’m not looking to win races, just have some fun and be on the track. I understand that to be competitive is different than running in the pack, but I’m ok with not trying to win anything (he says now…lol).

QUOTE(East coaster @ Feb 22 2026, 03:48 PM)  I should’ve added that I’m not looking to win races, just have some fun and be on the track. I understand that to be competitive is different than running in the pack, but I’m ok with not trying to win anything (he says now…lol). Still expensive to be non-competitive. Here’s what I’ve learned over the years. Doing track days (car or motorcycles) is about 1/2 the cost and 80% of the fun. Sure you don’t get the red fog of competition but it’s still almost as much fun. There is also a whole lot less likelihood of having some wanker that arrived in a $2M diesel pusher motor home total your car due to a boneheaded pass attempt. While you’re in the pits trying to assess your damage that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) head simply pulls the second car from his trailer and goes about his weekend. YMMV. Was around this game a long time and have seen a lot of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) clowns as Ninja stated. It eventually got real old for me. |
