Track Day Prep For Beginners (and a good reminder for the experienced drivers)

Podcast

In April I gave a presentation at the SCCA's 2023 Day of Motorsports at Nelson Ledges Road Course to help beginners with their track day prep.  I then recorded a similar version of the presentation to share with our listeners on our YouTube channel and now it's in audio form for the podcast.

Key Take A Ways:

  • What Is Car Prep
  • How To Prepare Your Car For An Event
  • What To Pack For Your Event
  • What To Do During The Event
  • What To Do After An Event
