Advice Please: Stock 370Z, Local Track Day
So I discovered a local track has an event this weekend (see below). Essentially you get instructed driving lessons on the track. I have two questions perhaps some of you guys can weigh in on.
First, I have 2,100mi on my car. Too soon for a little track fun or should I be ok?
Second, I don't have an oil cooler. I assume I can still enjoy the day and perhaps just call it quits every once in a while if the temps are climbing. It's said to be 4 30min sessions, but honestly the day is about driving the way you want...no timing or racing, just learning and instruction. I assume I can work around oil temp issues and drive accordingly. Any thoughts?
For anyone in the Chicago area, the event is TrackDaze ( www.trackdaze.com) at the Autobahn race track in Joliet. Registration is $200 for one day and $325 for both Sat and Sun (5/30 and 5/31). If you enter in the novice category, they include a free instructor in the car with you. The day also includes two didactic sessions on high performance driving. I've signed up for the Sunday session.
