It's best to sign up (and you might have to pay) to insure a spot.<br /><br />Check out the clubs I listed in the other thread. Some events/clubs offer some form of driver school. Getting some help will get you up to speed sooner and safer.<br /><br />Don't worry about modifying the car. Just make sure it's safe to run (the wheels won't fall off type stuff) but I would recommend at least half new thickness on the brake pads.<br /><br />You will need a helmet. Some tracks, like Thunderhill, have some to rent but double check that before showing up without a helmet. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
