Hi all, I'm new here. My name is Jake. Some of you may know me as a moderator at CamaroZ28.com.
I have an '02 Z28 M6, and just enough racing experience to know that I want to do it as often as possible. Some CZ28ers recommended that I come over here to get the advice I need, since everybody over there seems to prefer drag racing. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/loco.gif) I've tried drag, and it's fun, but autocross and open track days are a lot more fun! I haven't tried road racing yet, but to be honest I'm not sure how it differs from an open track day. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE (trackbird @ May 26 2010, 10:02 AM) Trophies... Well in that case, I think I'll be sticking to open track days for now. I don't have any intention of being competitive... just having fun. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) My understanding is also that RR events tend to be a lot stricter about safety stuff -- roll cages, window nets, etc., whereas open track days typically don't require much more than a helmet and a mechanically sound car. True? |

True? As Kevin said, 'True.' But review this thread: http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?showtopic=14156 and maybe think about maybe using a little more than a helmet. They can all be fun, but remember the safety, too. |
