I'd like to take my G37 for a couple of track days and wanted to know if I could get some guidance? Are they usually set up by the SCCA? I'm located in NY so I think NJMP and pocono are the closest tracks. I've done autocross before and I take my bike to the track all the time but I'm not familiar wtih any auto racing organizations aside from SCCA?

Thanks for the link. I'd love to do a track day this spring/summer. AutoX is fun but just not the same.
What tracks do you usually go to?

We (www.MVPTrackTime.com) will be at Summit Point, Virginia International Raceway and Watkins Glen in 2009. You are welcome to run with us.

would you be interested in drag also or just auto x ?

I instruct with them and live 25 minutes from Pocono. We had a few G37s at various tracks this year (Pocono, Watkins Glen, and NJMP). While you might *THINK* NJMP is close to Long Island, take a look... it's way the heck down there in South Jersey! Probably a 3-4 hour drive for you. Keep an eye on the website above for their schedule and register for an event at Pocono in the spring. I can instruct you too if you like - I have a little experience with the G37 as my wife owns one

EDIT: WOW! They have the 2009 schedule up already. You can't register just yet but at least you can plan dates. I'll likely be at all of the Pocono events

Thanks for the info. I think I'll sign up in the spring. How quickly does it fill up?
I know NJMP isnt that close but it's nice and new, and one of the "closer" tracks that I know of. I do alot of motorcycle track days with NESBA and TPR and have done Pocono east, Summit Jefferson, and NJMP Lightning. Have to say that Pocono isnt my favorite. At least on a bike.

It really depends on the event/date. Like Pocono East for 5/2 will fill up more quickly because I think they limit the number of cars on track (that's usually the track you bike guys are on) Pocono Grand Slam (7/17-19) will fill up quickly just because it's popular. You usually have a pretty good window of time to sign up though. They will allow you to register for the first few events by February/March probably and I'd say they'd fill up around 3-4 weeks before the event date possibly even later. It's definitely not filled up instantly - you'll have time once registration goes up.

Pocono isn't really my favorite track either although I'm so close to it I almost HAVE to like it I'd always rather be at the Glen or NJMP as boring and long as that drive is

Frank

Cool, Thanks again! I'll look into signing up for some events late this winter.

Definitely! Keep me posted. It's always fun to see familiar faces and nice cars at the track
