Track day outside Tucson
I was invited by Porsche of Tucson to a track day at Inde Motorsports Ranch this Saturday. Its a private track outside Tucson (so about 220 miles from my house...).
Looking forward to it. Will post more later. Here's some info on the track: http://www.indemotorsports.com/site/index.php

This will be my 2nd time on a track, but the first in my own car. Last time I was on a track was at Nissan's test facility in AZ, driving a pre-producting Infinity QX56 on their road coarse with Motoman...

I suspect you will have more fun in your car than you did in the Infiniti. I don't know how intense it will be, but my word of warning is that you may find it highly addictive.

I'm just glad this place is a 4 hour drive away. Should help mitigate the addiction risk...

I mean, yes. Yes. Just like the high price of cocaine keeps most people from becoming addicted. I will say I've *only* driven four hours to a track a few times. Like, three. In the past year. |

I'll do my best to not inquire about their prices. If I don't know how affordable it may be, then my cheap side can believe I can't afford it...

I might have an opportunity to go back out to the Nissan place with Motoman in the next couple months. I'll keep up on the free ones...
