Hmmm....let us see what we have going on and we'll report back! AMP is an awesome track for those that have not driven it yet!

You should be fine running the car stock but depending on your driving style you may find the stock brake pads and fluid to be worthless on track. I'd recommend a set of StopTech Street Performance pads. They are cheap, quiet and put up with mild-mannered, cool weather track duty just fine and they have wayyy better bite than the OEM pads. I ran them my first time at AMP last December and didn't have any issues though I probably got close to boiling the stock brake fluid. I would step up to a higher MOT street/track hybrid pad like the Project Mu HC+800 and some high temp brake fluid like Millers 300+ for anything other than mild-mannered track driving in cool weather.

I'm having an internal conflict right now. I've really wanted to get out there in the past on my bike, but I'm not 100% on taking the FR-S since it is my only car. I've never raced before, I guess go karts is as close as I've gotten, so obviously I'd go in the novice group if I come. My car is stock as far as performance upgrades go.
If something happened to my bike during a race I really wouldn't care since I've already spilled it (loose gravel in a turn) and compared to a car it's cheap, but my car.... Would it be possible to come up and watch and possibly hop in a passenger seat for a lap/race? Also, would I have to buy an auto helmet or are motorcycle helmets acceptable? I've seen a couple people in various posts recommending doing autocross events to really figure out your car before going on the track so I'd be a bit nervous to go out on the track myself. That, and I don't want to slow people down since there's no passing (at least that's how motorcycle track days work with the novice group). |

Pretty sure I'll be committing to do this. Supernoob though, any pointers on prep will be appreciated.
Also, haven't made it out to any Tuesday night meets because Tuesday nights are already occupied. Any other meet times anyone knows about? |

@firl21 should consult with them to ensure they will offer coverage for this event, being a new club and all. Fully insuring your car for a 1 day event shouldn't cost more than $150 Quote:

Discovery Parts are on site there and offer a wide range of helmets and safety accessories for sale. I'm not sure but there may be some loaner helmets there too. Last edited by ATL BRZ; 08-26-2013 at 05:14 PM. |

@firl21 could you edit your first post for more details on how this is all working. This is how I think it works. It looks like you pay 286 dollars to the kickstarter fund for a spot in the HPDE. If 10,000 dollars (~35 people) is not raised by September 21st, the track day will not happen and we will get our money back.
Also, will there be any loaner helmets or helmets for rent? I only have a motorcycle helmet at this time. |
