So i sign up, then when i go to a track day does an instructor need to ride with me or someone certified to ride on their own? YEa, once your track day date arrives, you go to the track (make sure you get your car pre-teched by a competent mechanic, there are usually forms on the organizations site for the tech to fill out, before the event) and you are assigned an isntructor that’ll help you. An instructor NEEDS to be in the car unless you’ve been signed off, meaning you can’t give people rides who aren’t instructors. There’s a big event w/ GVC BMWCCA at Watkins Glen in late September that I’m going to, you should go to that one. I believe they give $100 off to novice drivers that have never been there too, so you make out well. It’s a weekend event and you’ll get about four hours of track time for $325 or $375, which is a pretty damn good deal compared to say, Lime Rock where you payd about $325 for around 1.5-2hrs of track time. > [@Who likes peanut butter and jelly?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/who-likes-peanut-butter-and-jelly/44549/8): > > drag shocks.
