Took my Z out on the track (Thunderhill road course)

Just out of curiosity, how do you go about racing on a track like that? Do they charge per run? hour? day? How much does it cost?

I went through http://www.hookedondriving.com/home.cfm but there are many many clubs that hold these events. I think the best way to find a club is to find a local track and check their calendar (for example http://www.thunderhill.com/html/get_your_fill_at_the.HTM ).

I paid $240 for the day 5 sessions, ~20 mins per session or about 5 laps because I was in the beginner group. That's a bit on the high side, seen many for $200 a day.
 
what all have you done to it? looks like exhaust and wheels...anything else? I :heart: 350Z's. i'm just a wannabe though, i won't be able to afford one for a few years. 🙂
 
Question - if you were to crash, I assume insurance wouldn't cover it? Can you buy insurance that would cover your car while you're racing?

I'm pretty sure your insurance wouldn't cover it but I've never heard of buying insurance that does.
 
Sick, I love all Z cars... nice

I want a car I can lap in sometime...

My car has the same engine as yours at least, just detuned a little 😛

A lot of bikers get their insurance to cover it if they're in the beginner class, the ones that have instructors. A big thing is to establish ahead of time that it isn't a timed event, but more of a driving class to develop skill and technique.

Of course if you're in the more advanced classes where you're pretty much racing, its harder to get them to cover it.

It varies by provider, but normally as long as you do not have a live timing device on your car, you can fudge it by saying you were attending a driving school program (vs. tracking your car).

Hmmm - turn 10 is kind of a weird place to go off unless you were carrying waay to much speed as its not a very challenging turn. Did you guys run the bypass?
