They usually rent the track out for a Friday 9-5 session.

Is that a road track or a drag strip? I would like to go to a drag strip first since I'm not getting an oil cooler any time soon. To confirm what some of the guys told me yesterday, it costs around $15 to get in (for drag strip) on a non-event day and you can go as many times as you'd like. Also they check your car to determine whether or not you will need a helmet. Would a stock 370Z require a helmet? What about one with full bolt-ons? Do you have to bring your own helmet if you are required to wear one?
I've never been to a track or drag strip, but I'm really excited to go for my first time. If any of you have been following the UK Top Gear, they came to the MD/VA area for one of their newer episodes. They went to Capital Raceway in MD for a race between a Ferrari 458 and Mercedes SLS, it was pretty cool.
