Autocross or Trackdays

[efman]

If you stick with Track days at Roebling, Carolina Motorsports Park, and Little Talladega then you wont have to worry about hitting walls, as they dont have many to hit.

Autocross is good for developing fast hands, it also teaches you a lot of bad habits, and it sure doesn't help with youre smoothnes.

I suggest you head on over to the nasa forums and ask for advice over here. There aren't many people on here who really have a clue about track days.

Barber is great, its a pretty quick track there is a good amount of run off there. Barber is fairly technical though so I think it would be better if you had some more experince on other tracks first. Actually I guess it depends what kind of car you are in, if you are in a lower power car then it might be okay for a first track day.

Barber is an AWESOME track, but there are 2 things about it.
1. It eats cars :-P
2. If you run off track, you get to pay a lot to fix it up. That track isn't beautiful beacause only good drivers go there :->

I've ridden with my dad 3 diff times at Barber, and while it is a very technical track, it is my 2nd fav. (VIR is my fav that I've been to.)

Very true, I seem to recall a lot of cars leaving on flat beds

I want to go to Barber, but don't see many events for it. I for one am excited to go to the newly renovated TGP soon. Good to see people on here that are actually into the art of driving, not just hanging around gas stations and yapping about the newest popular mods. Frankly, I'm impressed, IA.

Barber is one of the more expensive tracks to go to from what I hear. I can't remember what the fees were for it last year, but ChinMotorsports does a great job of setting up a DE weekend.

My dad is retired, and spends a lot of his time gonig to track events from seabring to mid-ohio and has done events with a lot of different track day culbs and car clubs (audi, bmw, and porsche). Chin events are run in a very organized, safe manner. You'll also get a TON of track time :->

If you really want to do barber, I'd look into going with them. I've been to barber with dad for both a Chin and a Porsche event, and the porsche event was more money and was run in a less effective manner (and not as safe IMO).
