Should be a great weekend!
A couple things to add... Ron and I (and hopefully Woodbeck) will be at the track all three days (Friday through Sunday). We will be racing on Saturday and Sunday with practice on Friday. If any of you want to make a three-day event out of it, I would suspect that you could take the Performance Driving Class (PDP) on Friday. This will have to be verified. We can try to secure a large area in the paddock to accommodate as many of you as we can. We can also share experiences and give a little instruction, if you wish of course. For those of you aren't familiar with the Pavilion's Car Show, you are in for a treat. This is touted as the longest running weekly car show in the state, if not the nation. The turnout is usually in the 250-300 car arena. Some links... Performance Driving Program in Phoenix Arizona AZ - Open Track at Firebird in Nov Photos of Phoenix area gathering 03/17/07! Hope to see you here… Post up or PM if you have any questions.

OK, I'm interested in this track day experience....but let me ask a few noob questions first.
1. I have absolutely zero track experience of any kind. 2. I'm not too paranoid about my car, but I would certainly prefer not to hose it up. 3. I really don't want to hose up somebody else's car or the track. 4. Do I have to drain the coolant and go with plain H2O? 5. I only have the 2007 stock Coopers and probably don't have time to coordinate an upgrade. Will it be worthwhile or diappointing on these tires? 6. I have the basic 14" 427R brake upgrades, but not the full on Roush brake upgrades or an equivalent. It will probably still be pretty hot in Phoenix in late September, so is this a concern? 7. I'm a nerdy, overweight, middle aged guy whose wife thinks it's crazy to take my hot rod to a track day and who likes Rush and video games. Am I gonna fit in or feel like a complete doofus all day?

Although taking the open track opportunity is not nearly as intimidating as it sounds. They have a great class set up for first timers, with instructors who really do well to put you at ease and equip you for the drive. You can also have them ride with you and take it at your own speed. They are friendly, easy going and no pressure to do things with your car you might be ready for.

Some clubs attract younger drivers especially ones that highlight the imports. Most track clubs are across the board in terms of age. I run with Shelby Club which could be described as "Old guys with cool cars".

2 & 3. You drive at the speed and aggressiveness that you are comfortable with. I was anxious the first time too. Once I realized I controlled my speed, it was a blast. 4. No, coolant is fine. It would be a good idea to add some Wetter Water to both your radiator and intercooler systems. 5. The Coopers will be fine for the first time. As you becomes more comfortable, you will probably want to upgrade though. They will definitely be “worthwhile” to get your feet wet. 6. Not sure what you mean by the “basic 14” 427R brake upgrades” if they are not ROUSH. I suspect they are and they will be fine. I do suggest that you upgrade your pads to the Hawk HPS’ all around. Make sure to bed them in properly. You can get them from Stage 3 Motorsports at a discount if you let them know you are a fnsweet member. 7. Join the club. You’ll fit in just as long as you are an enthusiast. Oh, and check out the quote in my signature below... Checkout some of the links in this thread. Lots of good info in them… Quote:

this will not be racing. There is no side by side running in the red group. Your coolant will be fine. Your coopers will be just fine. The only thing i would look at is the brake pads. I would not go on the track with less then 75% pad left. I like rush too, There my favorite band. So lets throw in the Fly by nite cd and rock this bitch. No the heat wont be a issuse. We will just turn on the A/C and go!! lol Sign up and will see you there.
