I'm 25, live in chillicothe, and work full time in hotel management. I own a 01 Camaro SS A4. Current mods are 233/239 cam, 3600 stall, LPP Headers, o/r y, and Borla mufflers. Best track time stock form was a 12.9 @ 107 w/ a 1.9 60ft. Some other cars I've owned in the past... 99 FRC, 04 S/C GTO, 09 G8 GT, 99 TA, 98 Z28, 03 Cobra, 99 Cobra, 95 Cobra, and a few others that are not worth mentioning. I've been on the board before but that was 5+ years ago. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/deejay02/ss020.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/deejay02/ss021.jpg Prev. owned. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/deejay02/frc002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/deejay02/pontgto01.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/deejay02/TA02.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/deejay02/cobalt017.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/deejay02/11020610.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/deejay02/g8gt1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/deejay02/94cobra04.jpg

Yeah. I'm pretty happy with the SS. Looking to buy a LT1 or a GTP/Regal GS for a DD hopefully.

Ok, there are some polls and some threads discussing track days. Most of those are from members on here that are already track day riders or racers. So, my questions are directed to the general population that do not ride track days, but may want to try them out or what it would take to get you to one. What I am looking for is what would make you as a new track day rider WANT to give this a shot? Many of the available track days listed in Dubguy's poll thread are VERY much welcoming to new track day riders. Some things to consider: Look for a track day that has an extensive Novice program. Meaning, classroom sessions to which you are taught some basic track day info and then sent out to implement these ideas. Street and track are VERY different and the things we learn on the street most often do not apply to track. HOWEVER, track riding translates into MUCH better street riding ability and safety. Also, consider the Intermediate group. Does it include solid one on one instruction if need be? Are the coaches creditable and accomplished? Are you able to get attention from coaches out on the track? I think that every track day org listed has this covered so, it is pretty much a give me. But, these are things that you need to ask about and consider. Another thing to look at is doing a 2 day trace day event. Reason being is that many first time track day riders are somewhat overwhelmed with all the info, the newness of riding in an environment that is different and just plain ol' intimidated. If you do two days, the second day is MUCH more fun, more relaxed and usually, leads to bigger and better results in your riding. Typically, we see more and more new riders wanting to come back for more or wished they had signed up for the next day. Anyways, I want to hear what you all have to say. This is a GREAT sport and is also a great way to better yourself as a rider. Many on here may disagree, but you will learn more as a rider on the track than years riding on the street. It isn't so much about seat time as the guys that travel across the US have more of that - it is more about learning what a machine will do, what it can do and the aspect that you as a rider will grow much faster in ability level if learning in a controlled environment. Just food for thought... Let's hear some voices!

By pass out, do you mean marinaded in soy sauce and ginger, grilled and served with a side of rice and kim chee?

it didnt go anywhere. they paid 70 for the dinner, 2 bucks to waiter, 1 to each of them = 75 dollars.

Name is Steve, from CSS, been on there since 03. Couple members over there told to come check out the site. Im driving nothing worth mentioning now, but Im in the market for a car. Just sold my speed6. Basic suspension, intake, exhaust, dp, slow as fuck. Ive actually been given some info on a few cars posted on here for sale, by Evil8 (CSS) who's a member on here also. On a side note, I like this "common area" for newbs. Wish CSS would do this and be able to weed out the dipshits, cousin fucking hillbillies from Kentucky that join up. Plus "newcomers section" is always good for some laughs during work http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/9484/fuckl.png http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1859/fuckshit.png http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/7329/shitr.png
