Race-on,

i was at a track day there yesterday. All i can say is wow. My Sti was a blast on the track and i got 100 minutes of track time in my car for the day!

What are the dimensions of the track? It looks flat but that is all that I can tell. Does one need an SCCA license; safety equipment, etc.?

The track is relatively flat versus VIR or Laguna Seca, but it has enough elevation changes to throw a couple of blind turns your way. It may not look it, but GingerMan is a pretty technical track.

SpeedTrialUSA is an instructional driving school designed of drivers of all skill levels, with all different makes and models of cars, for all ages. We offer classroom instruction, ride-along instruction and tech inspection for the $130 registration.

We require you to wear a helmet that is SA-95 rated or better and for your car to pass tech inspection. Other than that, no safety equipment is required (unless you have a convertable!).

I do recommend getting more agressive brake pads, higher temp brake fluid, and possibly stainless steel brake lines.

Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Race-on,
Brian.
