I am very new to this side of the track, but would like to see some races with cars like these:
http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=679284 My nearest course is Mid Ohio, I think, so what are the names of the races I should be searching for? I am a little sketchy on all the car descriptions for these races. thanks! |

Ok, so after some research, it seems they don't sell tickets. So can I just show up to watch, or do I have to know someone to get in?
Sorry for the ultra-noob questions... |

Sorry for the ultra-noob questions... For most amateur racing events, like NASA or SCCA, you just show up at the gate. You'll be asked to sign a waiver at the gate, and there may be an entry fee that is required by the track. Some tracks are free, some are $5 or $10. I've not heard of any that are more than that. For an SCCA event, for non SCCA members (ie guests), they want you to go to registration and sign another waiver and get a guest wristband. For NASA events you don't need to go to registration unless you want to ride in a car - then you'll need to sign another waiver and get a passenger wristband (it may cost $5 for that). That is one of the perks of a NASA weekend - if you know someone who is driving, or tap an instructor for a ride, you get to be a passenger for a ride on the track and get a whole lot better feel for what racing/track driving is about than looking thru a fence at the action. You'll need long pants, non synthetic shirt, closed top shoes, and a helmet - loaners are generally available. Club racing events are for the racers, not spectators, so they tend to fill the paddock, but the stands and prime viewing areas are empty - it's cool to be able to hike right to the prime spots and be one of 10 instead of 1000 jostling for a good spot. Bring sunscreen and a camera and water and have a good time! |
