I have to follow up on Adams motorsport park. I havent been yet. its a drive for me being so far south. the circuit is a go karting course ( the big karts) so the stuff they do for cars is more single or double touge style. and the course itself looks more like an autox with how tight it is. our frs's should be fine size wise but i wouldnt take anything bigger.

Thanks for all the suggestions. If you couldn't tell already, I'm new to this whole racing thing. It's always been an interest I never really dove into. I am newly signed up on motorsportsreg.com.

I believe you about the tires. Impressive time on those Walmart tires behind that WRX! I think I'd just like that extra set solely for taking to the track, events, etc. The dealerships put some cheap tires on my car. Accelera's I think lol

Any suggestions for local shops in SD that do ceramic coating?

Looking primarily to get some headers coated and possibly the whole car at some point. I've searched the forums but couldn't find any concrete answers. Thanks in advance!

That sounds pretty cool, gotta get that BMW CCA membership at some point. Does every different event require a different membership? lol

I just signed up for the SCCA solo practice on April 6th. First time ever, I'm stoked!

There are three main groups the pca bmwcca and SCCA down here. And yes each has its own memberships.

Good on the practice day! Come back on April 7th for the champ day. No pre reg it's open to everyone since it's for points
