Well as title says, I'm looking for some performance driving classes.
Was wondering if anyone went to one before, and if so what were your experiances?
What is typical pricing of such class and is it worth it?
Would it be just better to go to a course and solo learn than attending such class?
Do you need to buy racing suit/helmet ext.. or are they provided?


Thats few questions I had just off the top of my head. I googled, but it seems the results are bit .... for WA area.

 

You should come out and do an autocross day Idk about all of em but bremerton sports car club has practice days autocross isn't full speed but you WILL develop skills and understanding that you didn't have before

It is $50 to join for the year and 25 bucks an event if you pre register

The next autox at bremerton motorsports park is the 30th its a lot of fun hope to see you ill be there in the blue 350z

 

Helmets are required but they have loaners.

 

Ohh forgot to mention I live in Redmond so something close by maybe, if not I can drive a bit too.

 

cool, I just registered. Have you ever went there before? It says you need to put a number on both doors, do they provide the numbers or do you draw your own and then duct tape it to the doors? Would like more info on it.
And it seems they are doing it on 29th? what is on 30th?


Edit: Ahh figured it out 29th are classes 30th is the autox. I registered for novice AM run. Ohh and lol, I'm number 666.

I wonder if more people would come, would be nice to have some WA z meet there.

 

I started doing them last year. But so far I haven't gone this year I'm waiting for a part that comes Tuesday (been waiting since December). So that event will be my first this year. I'm # 350 see you there.

 

I forgot no they don't provide numbers I used a non permanent paint pen and write them on the small windows. There were 3 other z's last year and two g's so there are some vq owners there.

 

I've been planning on going to the Bremerton Auto X stuff, but i'm always too busy with work
Since I live in Silverdale, i'll try and stop by on the 30th to check it out.
Hope to see you guys there!

 

So what's this have to do with a cheap major upgrade? Lol

Should be fun, Friday is the Test and Tune $150

I'm sure you will incur more expenses, memberships, etc.. but road course is fun too! This is May 20th too, very soon.

 

my diff blew yesterday so i wont be there on the 30 th now

 

PGP is a great intro to track driving

 

Find one of those Boeing guys in the AutoX club that Boeing has and ask him if he can take you to one of their practice days. They have practices from Spring thru the fall. Much more economical, laid back and convenient than an autoX event. For the same price you get 2x as many runs (8-10). Depending on the turnout you can get as much as 4x (16 - 20 or more) as many or more runs than a typical autoX.

No experience necessary. They have loaner helmet. They run out of Sanderson Field in Shelton.

As Auto-X goes IMO, you tend to improve faster at actual events cuz the act of competing makes you think and focus better. The Boeing practices are better for tuning since you never feel the real 'urgency' to do better. Still plenty of fun though cuz you get to exchange cars at anytime you want w/ friends and do other things that aren't allowed at autoX events.

Also like warmmilk said, PGP is great intro to track driving. The Z does surprisingly well on that track.

 

isnt expencive, you learn to drive your car thus improving the drivers ability to use the ponies in the rear.

 

very true. I was thinking solely of car upgrades
