[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 4384446, member: 11681"] [B][I]Water temp and oil pressure...[/I][/B] [SIZE="4"]Or just show up and learn all you can learn...[/SIZE] The more seat time you get the more things you will find to spend money on and the better equipped you will be to make those decisions. Open track cars are always going to be some kind of compromise. Some people run full blown race cars and trailer them in... many others drive to the track maybe only doing a pad change(everyone changes the brake fluid)... And there are those in between... That is one of the really cool things about our hobby(addiction)... you get to decide how street able of a set up you want to use. You will soon see that there are some incredibly fast Terminators(and others) with just a cat back, cold air and some cooling mods... [B][I][SIZE="3"]It is hard for some of us car guys to just show up and drive[/SIZE][/I][/B]...(trust me I am one of them) We tend to obsess about being as prepared as we possibly can be. Yet it will be far better if you get your first runs in with a fairly stock car(a little late for that I know)... It will be a more powerfull training tool... and the [B][I]driver mod [/I][/B]will kick in sooner. My first two events all I had was a K&N drop in, SFCs, brake cooling ducts... and of course the required fresh fluid and pads. Bring a positive attitude, come to learn, don't worry about who is faster or slower than you, let your instructor help you along. If he says "that's enough brake" trust him/her... I got a lot of that at my first event... It was pretty scary at first turning the car while still going that fast...:eek: Having your head in the right place will go a long way to insuring you have a VERY FUN TIME!!! You may find you like it so much that you have to budget for several sets of tires and brakepads a year. And then there is pit gear...lol:rollseyes [/QUOTE]
