You need to join an HPDE group and then you can sign up for these track events. I joined CHIN Track Days. They are a great organization and will help you get started. You would have to sign up as a novice and have an instructor. Which you want anyway.....I would not recommend going out with a group that does not require some type of experience. It's not as easy as you might think. You can check out pricing on their website. Hope that helps.

Nice driving and lap times (saw a 2:22 or better) ! I knew you had to have sticker tires than the 3R's the way you cornered! The 3 R's are much better than the Cup 2's...I've run both for a long time.(Cup @'s wear the inside edge wet rubber band too fast and cord!). Love the 3 R's but they wouldn't stick at your corner speeds (you were 3-5 mph faster). Maybe I'll try the Toyo RR's cause I've gone thru about 7-8 sets of 3 R's in 8,000 track miles.
@robhamilton12706 ай бұрын
The Toyo RR's are a good overall track tire and they last, but there's not substitute for full slicks. I run either Hoosier's or Michelin slicks when I want to run some quick laps. It's a heavy car and I need something that can hold it in the turns.

Stock it's 650 HP and it's probably at around 675 HP. Added a new AWE Cat Back exhaust along with a Roto Fab CAI. I did put a couple of racing seats and a roll cage in it for safety. And I generally run Toyo RR's on the track. I run with CHIN about 6 to 8 times a year at different tracks. Do you get out with CHIN track days at all? What do you drive?
