May 11-12 @ Buttonwillow
Hey guys, I just had to start a new thread to see who will be attending the event with me, and others?
Im for sure going to go. Got a few things on order in preparation for this since this is my first one. Yeah, call me a newbie and laugh if you like but Im going to tape up my front end like that 360 I saw in the older thread. Where do you source "Racers Tape" at?

Re: May 11-12 @ Buttonwillow (hungsteR)
I would really like to go to one of these...but I don't know if I can afford it. What do you guys generally spend in preparation for it, and afterwards? Becuase I know that I will probably need brake pads and other misc parts..plus the cost of the running fee....
So my question is...what kinda ballpark can I expect in terms of costs to hit the track with all of you?

)
$100 something for brake pads

Oil change, brake fluid change, gas, food.

2) I just bought some Falken Azenis 205-50-15. Primarily because I needed new tires, and also because of this event. $280
3) Im probably going to upgrade to a metallic based pad. I dont want a full blown pad like Carbotech or Hawk, etc. Maybe Performance Friction? ~$50
4) I just acquired a brand new HJC (Korean) helmet tonight. I know you can just borrow one but I think Ill take this up as my new hobby. ~ $125
5) Oil change $30 + HAMP filter (already have em')
6) Brake Flush, $20? I just bled my brakes with Valvoline Syn about 3000 miles ago, should I redo it?

Re: May 11-12 @ Buttonwillow (Crazy Bovine)
I think it's $210 for the one day and $270 for the full two days. 30 for oil change!?!? Crazy man... I'm still thinking if I should fully invest into this racing hobby. If so...I will buy a set of millenia wheel's with azenis.

That's cool...still a little steep for now...I have too many things going right now to put up 3 bills for one day....although I am sure that it is more than worth it. That damn front end is going to be the end of me I swear...

1) Im a little confused on what the price is? 210 or 270? *if u need school, 270, time trial 205
2) I just bought some Falken Azenis 205-50-15. Primarily because I needed new tires, and also because of this event. $280 *good for u
3) Im probably going to upgrade to a metallic based pad. I dont want a full blown pad like Carbotech or Hawk, etc. Maybe Performance Friction? ~$50 *try ebc green, they are good. other normal metallic pad get heat fade easily
4) I just acquired a brand new HJC (Korean) helmet tonight. I know you can just borrow one but I think Ill take this up as my new hobby. ~ $125 *also good
5) Oil change $30 + HAMP filter (already have em')
6) Brake Flush, $20? I just bled my brakes with Valvoline Syn about 3000 miles ago, should I redo it?

Re: May 11-12 @ Buttonwillow (Alexis)
Okay, I'm going...but TCRA is horrendously slow at returning my emails and phone calls. 
I will only be attending on Saturday, and since this is my first TCRA event, I have to take their school. Someone posted in another thread that one day of school/driving was $215. Can anyone confirm this? I would like to mail out my payment tomorrow in order to register before the deadline.
