anyone else suffering?

I keep checking the local track day clubs for their 2016 schedules, but none are posted yet.

 

Yep. Cannot wait for the season to start and go to some NMRA/NHRA events....

 

We have some drag racing down in south Georgia next month. Some friends and I will be there watching.

 

I have the same sickness. My last road-course track day was in Oct 2015. Looking at one day in April, and one day in May. Well, it's a start.

 

I'm track feenin' too. Planning out 2016 track day (I have at least 3 so far), watching videos from last season for the 100th time, and I can't stop touching the suspension mods in the basement

And I still need to buy adjustable dampers!

 

Track season still open out here in Southern California.
I just received my order of BMR front lower A arms. Also ordered APR front carbon fiber splitter.

 

yeah that too!

touching the suspension mods is a little weird though, maybe you should find some garage space and get to work . . .

 

You are righ. unfortunately there are a few inches of snow on the ground and the temp is in the 20s. i have to wait till better days.

 

You could always come out this way. NJMP has a few events in January although it will be way to cold to get any real traction. I may do one in April if I have my car all setup by then though

 

Is it end of April yet?

Yeah, can it be April yet pleeeeeease?

I'm very envious of you guys further south. I'd love to hit a track day in January with temps in the 60s.

 

The season will be here soon boys.

 

and girl

 

Not a participant, only have an adrenaline addiction to attending the events

But thank you

 

Hey, It's all good! We all appreciate the smell of high octane and burned rubber

 

There's a first time for everything, LOL . . . and a Focus can be a fun car.

Check out SCCA "Track Night in America" ; I bet they will have some events in your area in 2016. If you go watch, you can do the "pace laps" where they let you drive around the track for free (at fairly low speeds). If you do decide to try one, hit me up for my $25 discount code.

But be forwarned, watching is the "gateway", participating is the real addiction. And like most addictions, it can get expensive, quick.

 

Good thing my car is broken. I saw Lime Rock has some track days in January and February. I would have been tempted to sign up and have some fun sliding around in the 20 degree temps hahaha

 

And that's a platinum fact. I knew I would get deeper and deeper once I had to do performance driving training for work, and drive on closed circuits. It took me a few years to save up for a track car, but it finally happened. Now the track day, mods, pads and tire budget grows yearly.

That would still be fun. Car control in slippery conditions is a bit easier to learn than on high mue surfaces with grippy tires. When it's slippery the slip ramps are more moderate, and less chance for "snap" over steer. Plus you have more time to react as speeds are lower.

I wish my tracks were open, but they are all covered in snow and ice. Plus I'd have to drag the car through miles of salty haze to get there.
They put so much salt on the roads here, I think I hate that most about winters in Michigan. It takes 3 or 4 april showers to wash all that stuff off.

 

Wow limerock in the winter? That would be crazy!

 

head west or south??
