Track Time

L~R~G nor cal · 06-21-2009, 12:24 PM

Now that my car is out of warr, its time to buy a trailer and start tracking. Only problem, I have no idea where to start.

So what do I need to be able to track my car? Take some classes, or just pay $$? BTW I live in nor cal so I know we have some good tracks close.

Thanks,
Jared

why do you need a trailer if you are just starting out? just attend a few driving schools first, before you go crazy with mods, wheels, tires, etc.

Why would you buy a trailer before tracking..? Just drive from Sacratomato to Thunderhill for a BMW CCA high performance driving event. Change tires at the event. I dont understand the need to trailer the car. I trailer RACE cars..not BMW street cars.

They don't allow 4 door cars on the race track at Laguna Seca. Bad news for your e90

:-( Joke free section of the internet?

I had probably poked my head into a dozen auto crosses over about 8 years before I finally decided I was gonna do it. Such a huge mental hurdle to doing this stuff even if you have buddies that do it. The more time that passes, the more amazed I am at how awesome my local CCA chapter is.
