Tracking My Evo at Virginia International Raceway

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

When last we left off with our trackday series, we were fresh off our second track weekend with NASA Mid-Atlantic. While Ben finished the weekend with his Evo still in good shape and ready to go, my Escort was not so lucky. Unable to get the motor swapped in time for our third and final track weekend, we'd have to improvise. At last, it was time for us to return to Virginia International Raceway, for 2018's NASA Hyperfest.

  • @ethanmonat

    5 жыл бұрын

    The cost varies depending on which group it is with. NASA Mid-Atlantic typically charges around $390 for a two-day HPDE event; $50 for a Hyperdrive session. Tickets for Hyperfest (which are admission-only) are usually around $40-$50. As a novice, you'll probably also want to factor in costs for track insurance ($200-$300 per event from Lockton), fuel (trackside fuel is EXPENSIVE [like $3.50/gal for 93 oct] and you'll easily go through a tank a day), and travel, food, and lodging. If you do it as cheaply (and riskily) as possible, you can do a trackday for around $500; taking insurance, staying at a hotel, not leaving the track for gas, etc., and you're looking at $1000.

The amount of track time varies depending on the group and event. NASA-MA is often Saturday-Sunday, two 20 min and two 25 min sessions per day, for a total of around 180 minutes - but no guarantees. Incidents on track, weather, etc. can affect track time. Both SCCA and NASA require that both front windows are down during track driving, for numerous reasons including but not limited to: emergency workers being able to get people out of wrecks without smashing windows, less/no flying glass during a crash, being able to give hand signals for point-bys.
