All season tires are not the best for the track but at least you will get some seat time and enjoy your car. Once you get faster you will want to get better tires and brake pads.

Yeah tires are my least favorite upgrade. Expensive. Plus being in the northwest, weather changes quick during the early season for tracks. Thanks for the info. I really want some proxes, they had a set of those on the car I rented from proformance racing school. Crazy grip.

OK, if any of you are really serious about a track day read the information below from NASA, this is a good deal for a chance to take your car on the track


We are offering a new INTRODUCTORY session on Saturday July 19th known as HYPERDRIVE! Hyperdrive is a great way for new drivers to get on track and test the waters for minimal cost! The Hyperdrive event will include a ground school, one session of track orientation and etiquette, and one FULL HPDE 1 session. NASA membership is NOT required to participate in HYPERDRIVE and the cost is only $99. Anyone over the age of 18 with a valid drivers license may participate.

Really hope that I can make it to the track this weekend. Just picked up some 350z coil springs. Installed rears last night. Taking the fronts off tonight and having my buddy take it to work to change the fronts. He has a spring compressor. Just going to run the shocks that are on the car now. Should be enough to get me through weekend.

Great, it's a good way to get some seat time without spending a lot I won't be able to make it out to this event but it will be a good introduction to NASA. Hope to see you out at some future events. Have a good time.

Just paid for the event. Didn't know what the car number bit was about so I just put question marks. Need to buy helmet now.
