Are you serious? How does that matter?
I am going to bring my own helmet and race suit to eliminate cross contamination, but how is the brand of the equipment make the overall experience any different?
Because I want to see what brand is the official track attack brand.
Why the attitude?

I know itā€™s late, but I just started attempting to practice heel and toe down shifting today. Not looking good yet. I saw some vids and tried it. At the school, how much do they show you and how much time do they give you to get? Any pre track advice to speed up my proficiency? I go next week.
Thanks

There is one session where they work on it along with threshold braking. Don't worry about it too much, you don't need to master heel toe in order to have a good time at the Track Attack. The entire course is run exclusively in 3rd and 4th gear, so there isn't much shifting going on. Just two downshift points per lap.

Oh ok, thanks for the heads up. But I still do want to get good at it For the second day and future track runs. I want to maximize my vehicle's capabilities.

No attitude intended, sorry if it came off that way.
Have fun when you go!

Weather forecast doesnā€™t look good for the 6th. What happens if itā€™s raining all day?

Drive in the rain. We had one session in the rain, light, and it was a blast.

Yeah, I didnā€™t think hurricane (unpronounceable) would turn inland that far. But driving through Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee yesterday highlighted the possibility of rain, all damn day long. I guess Iā€™m just wondering if weā€™re going to have to switch out to TSL Thornbirds or SuperSwampers for the afternoon session and maybe just do some serious mud bogging? j/k

Stopped by today to see where to go tomorrow. It looks like they were putting the names on the cars

You are going to have a blast. Enjoy your time. I sure did.

Tacos 4 Life is a great place with an outside patio. Also a great pizza place inside the mall, Alino's Pizza. It is huge, so you can social distance.
