I found a company who does insure these events.

Thanks for the info John, I'd be curious about the insurance.

I'm spending half of my "mod fund" on suspension components, so I'm looking forward to many track days next year. I did decide to go with a "street" coilover rather than something more track-oriented but that seemed practical on a daily driver.

If working with the BIRPerformance staff is pleasant then they'll be seeing a lot more of me.

Well the guy who was with us went off roading 3 times the day we went and wasn't mad/upset with us. He was still willing to help us out later.

I learned some painful lessons about pushing my limits when I was into motorcycles. I'll just be looking to have fun and stay out of the way.

Here is the info on track insurance:

Gary at BIR gave me this guys info. They are all great guys and share a passion for racing. Look at the credentials of the instructors and you know you are in good hands. They are there to ride with you and give you pointers.

Here is the info on track insurance:

Looks like it only covers specific events. Rates are the same whether 1 day or 3. I suppose it'd be a good deal if you were going to one of the listed events and it was a whole weekend.

Yea but you will notice it covers about all non-competitive events including the BIR driving school events.

The is an event at mid america which is $350 to race all weekend. Thinking about going to that aswell.

I see it there now but I swear BIR wasn't listed the first time that I visited the web site. I'll skip it this time since I intend to take it easy but next year with some experience, tire & suspension upgrades...going up there for a 2-3 day weekend would make the insurance a no-brainer.

I will probably also. Will be there with a diff car and hope to take it a bit easier. Please remind me in the middle of the day.

Wow! Very tempting.

I'd love to just try it out with either of my cars. (08 Mitsu Eclipse GT or the 09 Honda Fit Sport)

4G is auto with sportronic (I know, I wish I got a manual). Fit is manual but it's still in the break-in period (just barely out of 1000miles).

7:30a is early and that means I have to be up there Fri night.

Hmmmm. Do I do it now or wait another time?

I might know a few viper guys going and we can get 10% off if we can get 5 people. So far is is John, possibly 2 viper guys and me. You don't need a race car to have fun so either would work. Might be easier in the auto so you don't need to worry about shifting the first time out. Let me know if you would like to do it. It was a blast when we went.
