I've been meaning to do a track day for like 5 years. Probably more actually. Now that I finally have a car that is practically made for track days, its time to man-up.
I have literally NO idea what to do here. What to bring. How to register and so on. I assume most are using the MVP tracktime guy, but otherwise no idea. I heard of hooked on driving, but I dont see any events for joliet this year. Once I get signed up, then what?
I assume buy a track set of brake pads? Am I going to need new tires right after? And I know its time to retire the old sport bike helmet for a real snell open face unit. Thats all I know. I hear rumblings of changing the oil for my car and playing with tire pressures and racing alignment. Im sure thats for guys that are good. Obviously Ive never been on a track before.
Should I bring people to watch or is this like at byron where you are separated from your family/friends when you are in the pits? Assume we are talking about AutoBahn country club.
Generally what would be a good setup to bring with me for my first track day? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
