Mike said it depends on how many people go. I think we are evenly splitting the cost of renting the track. Remember to add on the cost of gas, tire wear, oil, and brakes to your budget.

Track rental + ambulance + fire + tow divided by the number of people that confirm 100% within the next two weeks or so.

Also, factor in an fresh oil change (never hurts), gas, lodging, food, helmet (if you don't have one), tow hitch, etc.

One day.

Just that we're going to be starting early, so you might want to get to the area the previous evening, and getting a good night's rest.

I might be in, but too early to tell, I will keep my name off the list for now.
Be careful, no insurance covers you at the track, and stock brakes are dont like all that heat, if you feel yours brakes start to weaken, get off the track. Check you brake fluid too, it may start boiling in some cases. Ideally, you should be using race brake fluid and pads...

hey mike,

i know if we go to a track event hosted by a company (SpeedtrialUSA, Speedventures, etc), they usually don't want cars with tint and they want you to keep your windows rolled down at all times while on the track. if we rent out the track, do we need to keep our windows down? I don't like keeping the windows down cuz its very dusty over there and i hate to get a lot of dust in my interior. But if we need to, then i'll have to cover up my seats somehow.

Windows down is a safety issue. If you crash, you want the least amount of windows shattering glass all over the place, and also, if the windows don't shatter, and they are up, it can make it hard to pull your dead body (or unconscious body) out of a burning car.

It's pretty hard to actually get into an accident that bad at little Willow unless you hit another car

As far as tint is concerned, I'd recommend anyone with tinted windows run with their windows down for maximum visibility. (windows should always be down....)

S2k guys, fortunately, have the option of going top-down/topless

Just run with your AC on full blast; the cars shut down the AC at WOT anyways, so you won't have any power loss.

True, but better safe than sorry.
