I've done a few of the VXR track days, and they are well worth doing! Chance to do a track day without using your own car, and the lunch is very good too!

This is a useful thread for me, especially as there are still some events to come. I had a look at the linked site and the admission fees are very reasonable. Anyone else thinking of going to any of these events? Seems like a good way to check out a new ride as well as just be amongst other enthusiasts.

The power festival is still coming up. I am willing to guess this is going to be an impressive finally. I wonder if they will run this again next year. I would love to get in on it at the beginning.
