Riding with someone else driving your car, or a similar car is more beneficial in an autocross or track situation. With someone more experienced driving they are able to more quickly explore the limits of the car. Then, when you get your chance at that track or autocross course, you know that your is capable of turning it at a certain point, carrying X amount of speed through a certain corner, what line works (not that this is a definitive thing), etc.

For autox or road course id definitely want to ride with someone first.

Did anyone take video or pictures of the parade laps at Mid-ohio? It was fun, but now I REALLY need to do a track day haha. Also, somehow a guy in a 350Z cut in front of me while we were lining up and driving down the dirt road to the entrance of the track. He ended up going on the track! I told the guys standing at the entrance to the track that I didn't think he was supposed to even be out there (you need to sign that waiver to do the parade lap). The guys on the track didn't do anything about it so o well lol.

Definitely ride along any chance you get! You can learn a lot and it's so much fun.

[pmartz16]

All things considered... that's pretty darn cheap. It would cost well over that much to find a decent OEM chassis and get it to that point.

 

[XCLR8TN]

When does it start?

Soon...

Still need to get coolant and do a few other things first.
