Hey guys don't wanna hijack your thread here but I am new to track racing and would like to gt into it as a a new evo owner. Any advice as a good place to start? Would you guys mind a tag along at your events, being from south jersey it wouldn't be all that far for me and that NY safety track actually isn't too far from my vacation home lol

This is where I'd start, if I were you. NASA are great people. $50 is a bargain. http://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1682

I'll be at New Jersey Motorsports Park this weekend doing TT with NASA. You can come out and chat with us and do the hyper drive for $50 to get your feet wet if you've never been on track before. Should be only be a short drive for you if you'rein south jersey

If you have a stock car with stock tune, then don't worry about boost gauge and wideband yet. They also have loaner helmets there but if you're going to start tracking, then might was well get your own helmet.

The car isn't fully stock but I got the parts at a good price so I couldn't walk away from them, only basic bolt ons done right now. Besides this gives me an excuse to ignore my nagging family for a while so I can play with my car, what more could I ask for.

what Honda-guy is saying is that as long as your tune is safet then you don't need anything like that installed to enjoy your car on the track. Just sign up for DE1 and make sure your car is in good mechanical condition with fresh brake fluid, 50% or more brake pads and tires with 50% tread or more. That is all you need!
