I think I’m the last person in the entire world to figure out that RedLine Time Attack actually includes High Performance Driving Events for, well, everyone.
Totally Affordable, I think
When I found out, well, I wanted to sign up… Badly. Seeing as how we’re moving to Washington state, though, I can’t make any definite plans about what’s going to go down yet. There’s like a million things I want to do because we’ll finally be in an area where they’re close enough to get to.
So sadly, Time Attack HPDE’s are on my waiting list, but I’m going to get out to them someday…. Because at around $200 for a day of track time, it’s an insane bargain!!
Addiction Began…
My track addiction began when I ran with a group of Miatas over at Hallett in Oklahoma, which you can read about here. I loved it. Loved. I was so incredibly sad when we left, as it felt like I had finally found what I craved to do and wouldn’t be able to go back…
Some of my favorite pictures came from Hallett, we look so professional!
But the day set me back $165, not bad at all and apparently pretty close to what other track days cost! I’m so happy to find this out, the only downside, of course, is having to plan for travel…
And if I’m driving to California for it, it’s gonna be a huge deal for me. I’ve been dying to get to California for years, literally. It’d be awesome to get out on one of the tracks to drive and hang out with some awesome car people for an entire weekend, plus watch the teams actually race. (I’m so not good enough for that yet!!)
Something to work for!
It’s definitely something for me to work on. While it wouldn’t be cheap, we do plan for trips… But it’s up to me to pay for the racing that I want to do. I’m just excited that there are ways the Miata and I can get out to a track and belt out some more laps, with me learning a lot and figuring out how to work with her better.
Aside from this, I will say that I’ve also got my sights set on drifting at Evergreen… As a participant. I haven’t built my 240SX for nothing, and while I’m not so sure drifting is the sport for me (I’m totally enamored with grip & feel somewhat decent at it) I definitely want to give my RPS13 the chance to do what so many of them do best — go sideways!
When I say something to work towards, though, that’s because I haven’t yet sorted out my employment situation… I don’t really want to go back to a job like I’ve got now, unless it was no weekend work and a decent but not overwhelming amount of work during the week. I’ll be finishing school online, I hope, but it’s exciting for me to think about possibly making some money doing what I like to do instead of what I have to do for it. We shall see!
With such awesome events for motivation, I think I’ll do alright as far as figuring that part out. I want to get back to the track!
