RE: My track day pic&vids too!
If any of you are interested, check out www.seat-time.com . This is a prgram that allows you take your car to the circuit track with a certified race instructer. After a few runs, youll be able to drive the car by yourself. However, I recommend that you always use an instructor. They always know more than you and its best to absorb as much as you can.
P.S. Auto-X drivers will have a hard time on the circuit at first because of the habits formed in Auto-X. Track running is a whole different animal.

RE: My track day pic&vids too!
yeah i prolly wont be doing any actual racing mainly because of costs and that my suspension is more setup for autox. ill just be doing open track days and schools to learn as much as i can. a good friend of mine is an instructor at Summit Point Raceway and Virginia International Raceway so ill be getting alot of seat time in my car and also his car. as for going from autox to road race, i've heard its more difficult for road racers to transition to autox due to lower speeds, faster transitions and tighter lines. atleast i've got basic knowledge of car control from autox which should help.

But like I said, the veterans were telling me its the opposite transition wise because a lot of time the auto x guys have a bad habit hitting the gas too hard out of a turn.
