Wimp! On a regular track weekend I sometimes have my helmet on for 2+ hours going from student car, back to mine, to another student's car, and so forth. I just recently did a track event where I had my helmet on for an hour and a half and I didn't even have a car there to drive; that was just instructing.

I did that in SoCal years ago with a POS gran prix. I didn't bother rotating the tires at the track because I figured F it. Well, as I was looking for the hotel the night before my flight wandering around the hood, one of the tires blew out. Quickest tire change ever at 2AM with a rottweiler barking at my ear and a guy with a shotgun in the window starting at me. So when I returned the car at 5AM for my flight (not even worth getting a hotel room for 2 hour nap at that point!) and the guy from H*rtz asked me how everything was, I flew off the handle. I asked if they were trying to kill me giving me a car with such a sh*tty alignment. Told him I had a blowout on the highway and nearly wrecked the car. Car had something like 1200 miles on it and the other front tire was BALD. Manager came out and I yelled at him too. I got a coupon for a free rental You can come with us if you want to experience that entertainment but you have to promise to keep a straight face so I don't bust out laughing too

i rented a 2010 Jeep Liberty from Enterprise with 36 miles on it. The tranny broke down as I drove from the rental car agency. The agent was like "maybe you have it in 4wd"

Back on topic, I think the second track day is freakin awsome.

...if I weren't just finishing getting my car put together, then, I would. Most definitely.

However, ~900mi on fresh bottom end, and this being my sole means of transportation, I'm going to have to decline.

This doesn't mean I'm not going to cry about it... 'cos if I make it there, I will be in tears, wishing I could afford to trailer a car, and actually spend Friday out there, instead of being in transit.

Still, 2 days of track time, for $125, it's a fawking steal. If only I had confidence in my car.............

Speaking of 900 miles one the bottom end, I went to last years covention with less the 500 miles on a freshly built motor. But I took it super easy on the track. I know its a far drive for you so I'm not trying to point fingers.

We'll see how the work schedule materializes.... hopes and dreams, gentlemen.

Is the 10 Maxima a rental? If so, from where? I still need a rental and was planning on scoping out the lots when we arrive
