Happy birthday FR-S!

So it's going to be my car's first year anniversary this Friday and I realized that I haven't brought it to the track yet. I figured it would be a great present for my car!

Any suggestions for tracks in SoCal? Price is a factor and I'm also new at this so I guess some sort of training wouldn't be a bad idea.

Thanks!

if you're on a budget, auto-x is an awesome way to test out the limits of the car at lower speeds (relative to a full on race track).

my buddy and his wife race competitively and i went with them to el toro for the first time after i got my frs. took a ride in their race car and their friend's stock frs. both rides were fun as hell and felt way faster than you're actually going. there are a good amount of frs/brz's that show up. both stock and fully modded ones.

Nice! I go to the great park often enough and wondered about the cars on the runways. I'm definitely up for that!

Not really your car's birth date but the anniversary of when you two hooked up AHA GET IT?? but on a serious note, very possible to figure out when it was assembled.

Haha. Very true! I think I figured it out at some point based on the VIN.
