right now i dont have stock brake pads i am running Performace Friction pads (they take a while to get to operating temperture) if we do this i will flush the brake fluid with new D.O.T. 4 fluid and buy a set of Hawk brake pads, also a new set of shocks will be in order.

I was about to vote "No suitable skills or vehicle" but then I saw some of the posts. Just what kind of skills/vehicle are we talking about? If BBB is going to run the land yacht, well, shit, I'll be in his run group.
Most of my concerns:
1. Total lack of track experience for most drivers. Like me. My office park course doesn't count.
2. Total lack of preparedness in most cars. I just got h&r springs and new shocks, but I'm running on 50 dollar econotires on 14" steelies and on nearly dead brake pads that once completely stopped working after 3 minutes at an office park course. A lot of cars I've seen at TR track events have been similarly well prepared for cornering.
3. Safety gear... basically just a helmet, a jacket, and jeans, right? No rollbar in my car, and I can't afford any fancy clothing for one track day.
As I said I'd love to go, and I know of one or two people with much better-prepared cars who would like to go. If my three points are no problem, then hell, I'm in.

Would be a good idea John. Primarily concerned about other people's cars f-ing up.. There would have to be a hella tech inspection. Other than that, where the hell is there a place to hold this?

agreed. i'm interested, and fine w/ the $75, but even w/ no passing, I don't trust 99% of the people on TR to be on the same track as me. there's a certain level of expertise obtained during DE runs at a PCA event w/ a sit-in instructor. i'm not hearing that there would be sit in instructors. i can't help but be concerned when people are posting about "can i drift?" and 5000+ lb. cars wanting to sign up.
plus, with pca, there are investigations & penalties for contact w/ vertical objects. what about that? and what about inspections?
don't get me wrong. i think it is a great idea and i'd love to do it....i just have some outstanding questions before i'd sign up.
