Looking for proof that it really is easier than ever to get on track these days? Look no further than the SCCA’s Track Night in America program.
What is Track Night in America? We’ll let the SCCA exaplain the concept:
People are busy, with life commitments getting in the way of enjoying quality track time. Enter TNiA, where a few hours in one day can place you and your street car on the track–you know, where you belong.
Interested? You’re in luck, as SCCA just announced the 2023 TNiA schedule:
Registration for each event opens on the first of every month. Visit tracknightinamerica.com for more information.
One of my main goals for this year is to go beyond autocross and get to a track day. My Miata should be able to handle it as long as the diff doesn't explode. The only bummer with TNiA is that it happens on weeknights, so I'd have to miss half a day of work at a minimum. But they run at Charlotte, so this might be my chance!
Awesome!! My schedule is so insane, but hopefully I can make some of these events. If you're going to run AMP or Road Atlanta, let me know.
In reply to AMiataCalledSteve :
Good or bad, it's a weekday thing.
When they ran down at PBiR, I had a comfortable routine: leave work early, drive down, run the car, dinner afterward, drive home. PBiR is/was 3 hours away, and the entire outing took up 12 hours of my day. Not bad for a track day.
In reply to SKJSS (formerly Klayfish) :
I'm planning on the first AMP event in March. Hope to see you there.
So how bad of an idea would it be to take a '15 Fiesta automatic for a novice event? Obviously fresh brakes but I am more worried about the transmission overheating.
I've been dying to get my wife into something faster on a track. I originally wanted her to try a real kart out (even a 4 stroke) instead of just a rental but I'm afraid that would be a little more than she would want to try out. I think a car with an instructor would be a more reasonable suggestion.
