While you will need an oil cooler if you run track days it will not be necessary for any type of autox or drag.
That helps a lot. Thanks. I will look into the cincyscca group that always help having a reccomendation for them. And as you can see your not the only one that suggested the oil cooler so that sounds like a good idea

But these events usually have instructors who will ride along with you the first time you're out there & teach you the lines and stuff. They have different run groups like beginner, intermediate, advanced and various "pass/point-by" rules so you're safe while out there as well. I think its a great way to learn car control.
That was good help also thank you so much.

Don't mod your car, run it as it is. Mods are going to help you as much as learning how to drive in the discipline you choose.

For each event there, try to find the local events you have. If you have a drag strip nearby, I'm sure they run a street legal night. For autox, you should have a local club nearby. Same goes with whatever race track you have nearby. Drifting might be the hardest thing to find, but they might drift on your closest race track or in a large parking lot where they hold autoxes.
thats a heart breaker but you dont need a sponsor to have a good time with a bunch of other car people.

others have suggested this also so probably will invest
