I guess it is an option...I guess I was thinking of having to have a trailer which would required a truck, but I guess you could pull it with a small trailer behind any car.
Separate note:
I thought the EVO was a great car to be a dual purpose track/street car. Don't discourage me from getting an EVO guys!
Sounds like people who track their street car eventually get to the point where their street car turns into a "race car" and is not optimum for both. That sucks! I guess the issue is the need to be the fastest car on the track, or always saying to yourself, I need to go faster.
For those, like me, who are not tracking their car, who want to, you think, "Man, if I could just get on the track, I don't need to be fast", but as soon as you do, you can't go fast enough, and then you're on the vicious cycle of street car turned race car.

i noticed the next track day is may 14th through the scca but it in for intermediate and advanced only... do you know when the first beginner day is where they will have instructors??
I agree with the street car/ track car point.
I plan on building a dedicated track car (most likely a bmw e36), and to get around the truck-trailer horsecrap i rented a garage at miller.
I love the evolution, but the build on that is around $40-60k, where the bmw will be closer to 15-20k.

Really its more so that storing a kart out at Miller is A LOT cheaper than storing a car... As well as maintenence regardless of what kind of car you get. Even your Sentra is going to need new tires Jeremy, but you can't buy a set of awesome tires for 150.
And to hechtrod: Don't hesitate, the Evo was TONS of fun on the track as a street/track car (it definitly still is too), and its a great one for it too since the brake pads and wheels are easy to change. But when you've been at Miller like 30 days last year and tracking it for 2 years before, it gets boring keeping in the same basic car set-up. The only new exciting things to happen are for new cars to come out to try to continue being faster than. I'm not saying track racing is boring, I'm saying HPDEs for a million hours in the same exact car/set-up gets old, still not boring-it's really fun, just the same sort of feeling you get going to work the millionth time on the same road to the same job (you can still have fun on the freeway, etc...). Track it for sure when you get one just don't go hog crazy on mods unless you have an alternate, and money to fix any problems that occur from said mods. Just to support that, if I don't sell mine, I guarentee I'll be back out there in it trying to keep up with the Munoa Gang.
