Missed it? it's this sunday
how did you miss it?! Come out, it'll be fun. It's my 3rd track day in my Z4. 2nd day with the RS3s Quote:
I just really want people to come out. When I was 16, I didn't tracks existed so I always did stupid crap on the street.... canyons, freeway "runs," redlight "battles" and all that shit. Unsafe, risky, not worth it. Not to say I don't speed anymore (I speed but a lot lot less, I'm 70mph on the freeway in the right or middle lane lol), but it's really helped get all that testosterone we have hehe I've made a lot of close friends too from tracking, so I love it. I spend more money on tracking than I did on all of my girlfriends over the years combined lol

You're welcome to come hang out though. It's fun. Think of it as the car meets we all go to... but instead of all the cars constantly being parked, they're out on the track every 30-40 minutes or so. it's awesome. A couple of guys have come to just hang out and I've never seen anyone complain. If you don't track regularly like me, the costs isn't that bad. I'd say $300-400 for a week? including registration, gas and wear/tear. You should try it out whenever you can

Dude there are civics and miatas that run CIRCLEs around Porsche GT3s! But it's about having FUN, not having the fastest time. Experienced driver in a miata will be faster than an unexperienced driver in a Z06 or other high hp cars around the track. I had this proven to be when I kept getting past my miatas in my m3 when i first started tracking lol

Willow Springs does as well. It's track dependent. Like a Miata won't really be able to do much at Auto Club... but depending on the configuration at Buttonwillow or at a small track like Streets of Willow, things change.

Yup
But the 100 octane is fair, $10/gal. Which is standard. I think they just hate selling 91 lol. so they make it crazy expensive.

Higher octane, as long as it's not lead base (i.e. 110 octane), is generally (M3, N54, GTR, Porsches, etc) better for the engine. More power + better MPG too (lol)
