SRT Track Driving Experience!

[Fudge]

Hey guys I recently attended a SRT Track Experience (yes I know it's not ford) and had a great time! There were other ford guys there as well, and it was fun (check out some videos from the even below!
Now I kinda want to do some road racing, or autocross, in comparison drag racing seems kinda boring (I mean you start and its over in 12-13 seconds (or less for the faster guys)!
Any one know of what is needed to get into this sport? or site where I can find events in my area?

SRT8 Dodge Charger, Challenger, Chrysler 300C and Jeep Grande Cherokee!! - YouTube

We attended once after buying my wife a pos srt4 caliber. Great event with great instructors.

My sentiments exactly about drag racing...It took me one ride along in my borother in laws 87 Vette to be hooked on road racing/autocross.

So much so that I sold my 04 GTO and got a 99 Cobra to have something cheaper to beat on and larger aftermarket.

Surprisinly no they were actually pretty planted! Actually felt better in the turns then the mustang does (IMO) maybe because they were on a track and I've only driven the mustang hard on the street, and maybe because I am not a professional driver, but the SRT8's drove better (accept for the Grande Cherokee, that felt scary at times:burnout

Nice! do you have to own an SRT to attend one of these events?

 

[mikerob]

You have to buy a SRT then it's free. Even if it's used assuming the previous owner didn't use it. I've bought two so i'll have two free passes.

No you CAN buy a SRT to get a "free" one, or you can buy the pass at drivesrt.com!!:thumbsup:

 

[mikerob]

Yeah I forgot about just buying them. lol. Use to be about $500.

I did it in June of this year after having my jeep for 4 years
it was a blast. Now I am trying to convince the wife I need a 300srt because the new one is amazing. The white with red interior at the track experience was what I want but she is not falling for it.

 

[mikerob]

They are nice. I'm actually deciding if I want to keep the stang or 300/challenger SRT8.
