Hey guys! Well, spring/summer is coming up soon more or less, and I've been watching all these track vids all over the place and I'm dying to try it out!
Anyway, I've found a little track meeting thing or whatever (http://touge.ca/index2.htm my guess is as good as yours as to why they call themselves togue...), and my friend(s) and I think it looks like fun.
The downside to all this is the money issue... I really don't even know how much I'd have to pump into a summer of tracking the GTR. I'd probably not go so many times a week or even a month since I live a bit away from any tracks listed there as far as I know, so I'm just looking for basics here.
Anyway, personally, I'm curious about race fuel, tires, etc here. Insurance could be another thing...
- is there any insurance a 19 year-old can get if I get a beater for a dd and part-time/track the GTR?
- how much would that be?
- how fast do you go through tires?
- what mods should I invest in before tracking it (besides keeping it top-maint)?
- are there any driving/track/racing classes/schools/whatever that you recommend prior to track activity?
This is just me asking personalized questions, but for everyone else, feel free to hijack this thread with your own questions! I'm sure we've got some seasoned track freaks on here that will help us out.
Thanks in advance! :drive:
Chris.
