Not really, not big nor cheap anyway

Pittsburgh has karts for rent. :driving: How much, I don't know.

That's exactly our point...

You guys' logic of "screw auto-X only go to the track" doesn't work if you don't:


A: Live in Socal
B: Have thousands of dollars in disposable income to spend on entry fees.

A typical one day HPDE is over $200 here in TX. Two day events are around $300 to start and can be as high as $600-800 (COTA).

It's generally 250-300 a day here. Can be as much as $450 for two days at VIR.

Even if entry fee is free, brake pads and gas will push it to 200 along with tires. It's tough to drive so far out too, but then some people drive 3 hrs for autox, much easier to do when u are single

A "Ball and Chain" puts a dampener on things sometimes. LOL I'm lucky. Mine says it's ok, long as everything else is taken care of. :D

Mine too, she is insisting, however, that I purchase another seat for the Z before I get anything else... We'll see how that goes.

Same here. My wife is very forgiving when it comes to significant others caring about motorsports and tuning. She always makes it clear to me that not that many women can deal with someone that is into modding cars and racing. i just have to make sure she gets what she needs first. She spends $250 on hair and nails, i get a car part for around $250.

But since i have learned alot about my car this season in autox, i know what i need for next year. I plan on going to NHMS and lime rock next year, maybe something in the tristate area.

...and here I am about to leave in 8 hours to tow 20 hours for an autocross.


:ohsnap1:

See even there you are doing it wrong. Crows landing in middle of east bumfu$@? Why would anyone want to go to Central Valley in California?

I tow to Marina for AX and Laguna Seca. unhook SUV from the trailer then pay for wifey to go to spa in Carmel Valley then at end of day we have dinner together in Carmel. She is happy ....I'm happy all is good.

When I go to national tour event in San Diego we make it a vacation and stay in La jolla. When I go to El Toro we stay on beach in Laguna Beach.

Have you seen the entry fee for Laguna Seca with Speed
Ventures? $340!

NCRC has some of the most rocking rates around. $99 a day at many tracks. Laguna and Sears are always more expensive as they are premier facilities. Buttonwillow and T Hill are usually dirt cheap but then you have to spend money and time to hual to those tracks if you live in SF Bay Area.

Northern California Racing Club - Schedule of Events

^ I like NCRC for cheap seat time

Until this season they use to run Laguna for $150, Thunderhill/buttonwillow for $99

I've seen $160 Infineon days etc

I've ran streets of willow for $60 LOL
