If you haven't been to a track before they'll make you take the road course school which is $225. Just a saying..

stopped by today in the morning on my way to the Home Depot.. I think I saw first 2 sessions. I think they were introductory sessions, because everyone was extremely slow.

Either way, even at $150, I don't think this track is worth it. It would be great for shift karts but not too exciting for cars.

Yes its not worth it.

I'm only 20-25 mins away and I haven't went back to this track since they held that Redline time attack event back in like 2006-2007 or so....

That's not true. I have been there twice this year, I missed the one on Sept because I have alignment issues but definitely would go there this Oct 26. The track is small, yes compared to others but for $125 with no speed limit and you can drive the **** out of your car is priceless. That long back straight away you can hit between 105-110 mph depending on the driver. Compared to auto crossing this track is better, cheaper and closer compared to others. I suggest you should try first, it's a fun and technical track and perfect for evo's master cornering abilities.
It will eat up your tires like crazy but definitely a very fun track.

if you had never done track days, I would suggest to do it once.. Then move on to bigger and better.
