Track

Hey guys...I've always wanted to take my car to a track, and I was wondering do you ever have meets at a track in town? I'm not familiar with the area since I'm living in st. kitts right now, but thought it would be fun to let my car rip and not worry about the piggies....

i sat in one at the dealership... such a nice car.. interior rocks as does most everything else.

the only thing i didn't like is that i don't fit too well into it (i'm 6'2 230lbs).. but that is hardly a reason to knock the car.

yea, there have been track meets.. i've never been to the track.. should try it this summer.

Actually Nick, I believe the Tuscani is a package on the Tibby from the dealer. Different emblems, suspension, 6-speed, V6, exhaust and larger rims. Am I right Tibz???

I'd do circuit if I had a car that I didn't have to worry about stressing the frame with (ie. remember my car has a new roof)

Maybe in a few months I'll just buy another car.......again

I've been doing track for a while now. I used to do it with my prelude and now do it with my mr2. It would be nice to have a VM track day, with a track school. Mostport and shannonville have driving schools there. It is the best thing a person can do before hitting the track. There is in class sessions, and then you hit the track with an instructor in your car. Not only do you learn how to cut corners, handle the car and properly drive the track, you learn in your car, so you learn while learning how your car reacts to the course. Woth every penny!
