Was this from a website? I am desperately looking for some advanced training so I can get the most out of my FR-S. I live in NYC and it looks like Watkins Glen might be the closest (although I just gave the list a very quick look).

Ohhhh that looks good. I'm also interested in just advanced driver's training. Maybe something at a track. Everything I've found are thinks like "The Jeff Gordon Experience." I don't want to drive a NASCAR stock car.

Have any of you guys looked at renting out a track? Limerock just posted on their facebook page that you can rent out the autocross track, skid pad and an instructor for the whole day for $3000. If we had 10 people to go that would come out to $300 each. Not bad for a full day of drifting!

If enough ofou ar einterested i can rent a huge runway for less than that or the day:-)

I can rustle up some of the top instructors in the region as well...

I've organized some of the largest SOLO schools in the US for the last 10+ years now...

There also wil be a couple of BMW Ato X schoos at Devens that sell ot in 24 hours!

Cheers,
HAZMAT
My other car is a 400WHP EVO X :-)

That's ridiculous. You can rent the parking lot at NHMS for $750 + insurance. For drifting, that runs about $550 a day. NHMS is 1/2 the price. I suspect if you skip the instructor you could save some money, though.

Come up to Drift Spot. It's $75 for a full day of drifting. I'm the President and we've doing this for over 5 years now.

Oh, and listen to Steve here. He's been running schools in New England for a long time. I've had the pleasure of attending multiple EVO schools with him. Good stuff.

There any spots outside of the NASA NE where we can go watch races/drifting? I really enjoyed seeing it when I lived out in Japan the past few years.

Awesome! I always wanted to properly push the limits of my vehicle in a safe environment.

This will be my first track day, so for all the newbies including myself, what is needed/requirements for a track day?

I don't want to drift btw... not intentionally.

Scda1.com has a track day in april. Perhaps we can get a group together and head down. Will be nice since the track won't be too hot.
