The real expense of getting a racing licence is going to racing school that satisfys the requirements for SVRA or other racing. Skip Barber 3 day school is $3,800. ---

OMG how many fucking times do I have to post the same thing:bloated: :bloated: SCCA RACING school cost $200 per school. You would have to pay duh duh dun done. **$400** [size=5]to meet the requirements of RACING school.[size=2] You do NOT have to go to Skip Barber, Bounderaunt, ect. ect. In fact even IF you do go to one of thoose schools you will still have to go to at least ONE SCCA school to satisfy the requirements. Again I do not know the specific requirements of SVRA, but I do know that SCCA Licensing is recognized by the FIA, unless SVRA is beyond FIA standards :lol: [/size][/size] ---

FOR THE RECORD… From the SVRA application. [http://www.svra.com/SVRA/SVRAHome.nsf/attachmentweb/EJEN-6FPRUW/$file/SVRA+Competition+License+Application.pdf?OpenElement](http://www.svra.com/SVRA/SVRAHome.nsf/attachmentweb/EJEN-6FPRUW/%24file/SVRA+Competition+License+Application.pdf?OpenElement) SVRA License, going the SCCA route would cost… $110 Novice Permit $400 for two required schools $400 for two required races $75 Region License or $55 Vintage License Then $125 for the SVRA License. So **$1090** in fees AND you get **8** [size=2]days on the track, not 3. If that is still too expensive for you stick to roll racing on the highway :roll: [/size] ---

:word: Roll racing is sweet. 1090 doesn’t seem very steep… I can’t afford to race, because I buy cars that break easy. I’ll stick to roll racing. ---

> [@fairgentleman Z](#): > > Ummm… usually two day races are $200 or $300 total, sometimes $150 per driver if two are using same car.

I mean before you were complaining how expensive it was and now you throw down a parts list of mods. **Which is it?** > > _Again I feel like a broken record._ You do not need big brakes, motor swaps, flared fenders, areo packages, or gobs of horsepower for introductary level of wheel to wheel road racing. IN FACT THEY ARE ALL ILLEGAL MODS. (SCCA Speaking, NASA is more leanant, and I guess that is why some prefer them.) There are plenty of competitve ITS 240Zs that have proven that you don’t need any of that ish to be fast. > > Here is the class rules that I would prepare a 240Z for. It would also be eligible to run in EMRA and NASA. Additionally it would be eligible for Nissan Challenge. > > [http://www.scca.com/\_Filelibrary/File/2005ImprovedTouringCategory.pdf](http://www.scca.com/_Filelibrary/File/2005ImprovedTouringCategory.pdf) > > If you want all the go faster goodies just stick to track days. I think you may have misread what I said? I said my uncles car already had all that stuff. no mod list of things to buy. Only thing I said I wanted was more brakes, as I was not happy with the stock brakes last trackday. and so far, every single svra 240z I’ve seen has had triple webers, rear discs, and a front upgrade. I’ve never seen a 240z race anywhere without rear discs and some sort of front upgrade, and I also don’t think I’ve seen any z’s race with su’s. I have a ton of pics of the glen from previous years on regular film, and I have a bunch of pics of svra 240z’s. I believe they all have webers and brakes. ---

Guess > your not requried to have it, hmmmm thats cool. No, not necessary, as has been posted lots of times. That being said though, a lot of guys take the 3 day because they feel it is necessary. You get more instruction at the Skip Barber schools as well as a bit more technical feedback (telemetry, instructors to show you how to interpret it) and sometimes more concentrated help from the instructors. It depends on your comfort level. Not everyone can just go to an SCCA school and grab it first go. Some people need more help to get competent. If you feel that you may benefit from a 3 day school, definitely wait and go for it, especially if you’ve done a few track days or started some SCCA schools and still feel that you are behind the curve. The best way to get good at racing is to feel comfortable. ---

I’ve never seen a 240z race anywhere without rear discs and some sort of front upgrade, and I also don’t think I’ve seen any z’s race with su’s. _The first place to start building a car is the rule book._ According to SVRA rules **ALL** the mods you listed are **ILLEGAL** (except tripple Webbers) for a 240Z. [http://www.svra.com/SVRA/SVRAHome.nsf/attachmentweb/EJEN-5ZUTB7/$file/SVRA+Rules+&+Regulations±+2005.pdf?OpenElement](http://www.svra.com/SVRA/SVRAHome.nsf/attachmentweb/EJEN-5ZUTB7/$file/SVRA+Rules+&+Regulations+-+2005.pdf?OpenElement) SCCA IT rules allows for **dual** Webber carbs as an approved replacement. But considering that their rule book is a whole two pages I can safely assume that no **serious** competion takes place. I doubt anyone really protests illegal upgrades and the racing serves as an outlet to get some old performance cars on the track in their natural element. So in that respect the rules are probably not enforced. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/another-weekend-at-the-glen-no-56k/2265.md?page=1)
