if the price were about half that i'd say yes... but a $500+ trackday just isn't in the cards for me :(

Seriously, it's the best mod anyone can do to their car. Improve the driver.

and $415 for a two day event WITH an in car instructor and class room time is a steal.

If you're scared to go to a track just say so. :D

That's actually a great deal! Road A is one of the best tracks out there. I only drove 4 of the turns back in June (Formula D), and I want to drive the whole track. I'll be out of town those dates at a drift event, but I'll try to make the next one if you're going Trey.

nah, 400 is still expensive, especially for the amount of tracktime that you ususally get for bmwcca

if you really wanna drive at RA, do NASA

Too bad there are no more NASA races at RA this year. ;)

$415 for event

$400 for tires

$100+ new brakes, brake fluid flush, oil change.

Then consider gas, and food

415 for a two day is not bad especially for RA.. and for track time, if you think you can handle more than and hour or two of actual track time you are crazy or a goddamn track monster. actually drving a car on the track will wear your arse out.

as for tires/ brakes/ gas...if you are bitching about these things you shouldnt even cosider tracking your car....

You can easily run a few track days in one year on the same set of tires. No need to run out and buy new tires. Every track day I've been to was on my daily driver tires. I'm too cheap to buy fancy slicks. :D

All you need is a good set of pads and fluid and a sac between your legs. :D

RA chews my street tires upppp, especially 10b and up the hill out of the esses....gotta get some spare wheels for the slicks before going out again.

Is that weekend only for street legal or can a race prepped car be used? ;)

As long as it's not a convertable, you can run it.

The Spec Miata race is held where again? Oh yeah! Road Atlanta! Hooray!

Actually, I think they required a 6-point roll cage. Maybe 4, but I would think 6.

Spec Miata is a full on racing program, my post is a BMW driver event for daily drivers. It's their rules not Road Atlanta's. ;)

$415s not bad for the amount of track time u get, I went to a track day held by the panoz racing school eariler this year, it was like $280 for one day, it was def worth the money, road alt is an amazing track and turn 12 is scary as hell.
