I’ve only ever driven in one car with nitrous. It was a long time ago when I was in my 20s and it was a friend of mine who had a ‘65 GTO. Just getting into cars at that time it scared the hell out of me when he hit it.
I'll be up at Willow Springs instructing for NASA next weekend, definitely a fun track for Mustangs with all that powa, and I believe one of the fastest tracks by average speed... if you run something like a 1:33, your avg speed is 100.
Depends on the organization you're running with, lots to choose from which are situated down here, like NASA, Speed Ventures, Speed District, OnGrid, Extreme Speed, SoCal Drivers' Club, etc. Generally speaking, you should be fine as HPDE's are typically meant for street cars (High Perf Driver's Ed/Experience) and racers looking to get cheap seat time, but with traffic and lots of other drivers on the track, you'll unknowingly keep it a little more toned down, not wanting to break the car or kill the tires for your ride home. Should the worst happen, you may also stand a small/decent chance with your insurance policy coverage, but there are also additional companies like Hagarty which sell track-day insurance specifically for that. Giant helping serving of a do read your policy, some outright explicitly speak against it, some have a clause about untimed events not for payment, position, prestige, ... so if you're going to run timing, do it via App on your Phone (Track Addict, Harry's Lap timer, etc) instead of a transponder, as they're usually recorded and put up on the internet or the event's results. Didn't post all of that to scare, just other things to keep in mind, but if you've never been, go.
Interested in trying it at least once. I'll keep an eye out for others around the forums maybe doing something up. And, yeah, as a DD, I'll be easy on it for sure. Not trying to post "best times", just looking for a good day out.
