Up coming track days 2010?
Track Days!
I want to take my Z on the track some time soon. But I am a complete rookie when it comes to driving on a track. I can play the video games with the best of them, but going 140mph on a game is no where near as exciting/scary as real life. What tracks near Dallas do yall go to? Texas Motorplex south Ft.Worth? TMS track days? Other than high oil temperature and possible brake fading, what should I expect? Tips, warnings? Would anyone want to get a Z group to have a track day?

Motor Sports Ranch - Cresson, Texas
An Exclusive Private Club racetrack in Cresson, TX (20 minutes from Ft.Worth). We have a choice of three different tracks at MSR all challenging & fun. The 1.7 mile 11 turn course can be driven both Clockwise and counter clockwise or 3.1 mile 16 turn with elevation changes adds new challenges to the driving.

Yeah, this is the place I was checking out south of Ft.Worth. I wonder how late you can register for your session. Need to wait until my bonus hits end of month so i can afford the extra cash.

go to the site. you should make it out for the feb 6/7 day so we can battle! ahahaha. another z34 on the track would be nice. 295$ for both days. registering asap would be ideal, but right now they're showing like 40-50% fill.

Yep, oil cooler, in-car camera, and a plastic tub to put all of my crap in. I wasn't going to get a hotel, but with 7a arrival requirements I said screw it. The track is an hour from me casa.

Of course!
I'll have to teach myself Sony Vegas in the process, but it'll get done.
