First off i put my entire life into this, but i am a racer, not a track day enthusiest... theres a huge difference. I would not suggest that life style to anyone because i spend every dime i earn on my hobby/life, but its all well worth it since i have surpassed all of my expectations yada yada yada blah blah blah... now being a track day whore is cool, you go out there have a good time, and you dont have to be under extreme pressure like racing. Once you have the proper gear track days are pretty cheap. You can go with slightly worn tires, and pay for gas food water, and a $120 trackday fee. At most, if u need to buy new tires, a trackday would cost you $350 MAX, with everything included, which is nothing compared to a $800+ race weekend.

Jennings will teach you everything you need to know because jennings has many types of turns, like Chicains (S turns), slight cambered, and dog legs. I found out i was able to apply what i learned at jennings, to different tracks i was unfamiliar with. Jennings is a fast track, and is very decieving, there are so many little tricks to get around there, takes a good while to learn. Many turns you cant take how they seem, like i know C4 went down at 7-8, which is leathal, everyone goes down there... but the quickest way through that turn is the safest way, which is also the ballziest way, which is also the way you would least expect it to be taken... its ok, i just confused myself lol.

If you have any questions let me know, i share info with people i dont compete against
