Autism

try to save up for real track days. I am not a fan of AutoX since I do not have lot of time and I do not want to stand by cones for few hours for few minutes of driving.
This "Touge" shit is so childish, WTF are you trying to do ?

forgot to add, don't go 10/10 on streets.

>This "Touge" shit is so childish, WTF are you trying to do ?

Just having some fun on a nice driving road. Would rather drive some fun roads then some lame track

thanks for driving like an idiot on public roads, moron

keep it at your level (i.e. not almost losing control), this kind of stupid shit is what gets people killed

THIS, nobody tells you that you barely get to do any driving in autocross compared to how much shit you have to endure just to do a handful of Pay little $
>Get almost no driving

TRACK DAY
>Pay a lot of $
>Get a reasonable amount of driving

There needs to be something in between the two that provides a worthwhile amount of driving for a reasonable price. Hell, I'd actually do autoX if it meant I didn't have to stand around in the sun soaking up cancerous rays picking up cones. I'd pay more to have dedicated staff doing all the pointless shit that AutoX does to keep the prices obscenely low. Not only would this allow us "serious" drivers to get more practice in, a slightly higher price would keep the mexicans/hoonigans/ Veeky Forumstists out of our good events.

The road i drove through was empty at the time I went. Only saw a handful of cars. I am familiar with the road and know what times it has very little traffic.

Wasn't able to keep up, but mutual driver respect is something i'll always remember.

Also other story on the same road

> Had my license for less than a year, wasn't aware of initial D, or drift for that matter, apart from that NFS nonsense
> Going to a party, driving uphill, not that fast
> Hear a screeching noise, at that time I thought that a fucking monster was screaming or something, flipped my shit
> A wild Skyline R32 appears on the curve in front of me, going downhill, chased by a coupe, can't remember the make and model
> Skyline dude was sideways , thought that he was going to crash into me, but no, kept up like a boss
> I was so amazed and shock that I instinctively braked to almost complete stop, thankfully, no one was behind

Those two events is what got me seriously into cars, and driving

Life in Corsica may suck in a lot of ways, but not this one.

Pic related, the road i'm talking about, half is uphill, half is downhill

My PB with said Corsa was 10mn on my car clock, never bothered to go more precise.

if you have good backroads is there really any point of going to the track?

Aside from being infinitely safer and actually teaching you to become a better driver?

If you have to ask, it's time to sign up for your first track day.

i have some backroads with no traffic/cops/bicyclists. only boyracers in the afternoon driving like reckless faggots which i could imagine would be unavoidable at tracks. Also too far away from me and expensive

Touge driving is the best

>live in Canada
>nearest toe gay is in another fucking country

Just fuck my kuso up desu lads

oh my allah this road looks BASED

wtf is a 'touge'?

Never got the purpose of track racing for normal car enthusiast. If your pro then yes track day for racing and practice makes sense

But for everyone else that doesnt compete theres no need. Why pay when you have great roads all around you

From urban dictionary


Illegal and now turned professional form of racing in Japan involving two cars chasing each other single file through a twisty course, traditionally mountain roads. If the chase car catches up by the end it wins, if the lead car pulls away it wins. Popularized in the US by the recent "JDM craze" and jdm option videos

heh i dont like to brag but this is anonymous on the internet so

I did autox this past weekend at scca and it wasn't THAT bad, you wait your turn and take your run, watch some cool cars in between... There were people for the cones though

Lawyers. We could have multiple hamburgerings in the US, but lawyers. It's why track days are so fucking expensive.

For a real track day around where I live (Abortland OR), you have two choices:

PIR, where you pay $1000 for driving school (and it has to be two separate classes, and they only offer 4 a year), at least $1000 for helmet and HANS rig, and then you have to spend $300 for a track day.

ORP, where you have to join a private club for $1000 initiation, pay $200 for annual dues, and $200-$300 per track day. And of course you need the safety devices and shit above.

Worse, if you're in a convertible, you are almost certainly have to get a fixed rollbar, another $1500 down the tube. And even then you may not pass the broomstick test.

Or you could skip all that bullshit and go have fun on some local twisties.

Hey now, don't talk to me too much or people might think we're friends.

Sounds like you're one of those boyracers?
If you can't take the machine you bought/built and truly put it to the test in a controlled environment, then how are YOU a car enthusiast? Why have a quick car just to drive the same speed as the Camry next to you? Maybe you're into lowriders or something, which is and acceptable counter-argument.
Get a load of the poor person who can't afford track time.

>have everyone sign waivers
>???
>profit

Again, fuck the """track""" days, bring on the autocross that isn't shitty. If the average autoX day costs $25-45 to enter, just double that to cover the cost of staffing and other shit and you'll be able to have a better event with less garbage. You can make better courses, have competent paid staff instead of idiots who are just waiting to do their runs and GTFO, you'll have marginally less people show up, but the people who you alienate are the people you don't want there in the first place.

Man, that was fun.

>be me in Vancouver Island

>"Shit, does he want to race?" I think as he launches forward against my Grandma 2004 stock civic that's an automatic as well.
>always wanted to race so I follow behind him by a good car length due to obvious superiority in mechanics and actual cars

>he nods back and we both drive off

I wish I could find a cheap manual civic sedan here that isn't from 2004-now cause they're all shitty coupes. I will always remember that fucking race cause it's what really made me get into cars.

>tfw ford ranger and no togue near me

I have the 4.0L v6 SOHC engine so if I wanted more power I guess I could tune, CAI, and a new exhaust and it'll be quicker than it looks right?

Just in case I find a togue and somebody who wants to race me

provided you're in the US, try looking your area up on motorcycleroads.us
I found a lot of stuff near me I didn't know existed.

It's actually surprising how many people actually underestimate Honda's. Gotta thank the ricers, because of them, it's easy to catch people off guard in a good, light Honda.

>Tfw patiently waiting for the 8th gen type r fd2

Love driving sleepers.

I'm And I'm from BC. If you want a manual 8gen+ Civic, come to Calgary. A lot of them, including si, got shit on by hail, so if you don't mind hail damage, you can get one for about 4-5k depending on milage and trim.

I recently doing some track/time attacks days that are super cheap - $100. 10 min practice session with a few other drivers, then you get 3 sessions of timed runs. I was doing autox before that and honestly autox is kind of a let down now. I'm even a member so $30 for just 4 runs and maybe a couple of ride alongs. I do plan on going to a bigger track soon. Will be taking the E30 (now manual) to the next time attack.

To get the most out of autox you have to go talk to a lot of people and ride along with really good people. but a lot of pros will be kinda iffy on passengers or people they don't know because they want to set good times. It's fun, but cheaper track days blow it out of the water.

Translation in japanese: Mountain road

I know you need a real "mountain" for it to be a touge but the closest mountains are a county away so I usually just go to the elevated backroads/twisties upcounty

I think the greatest part of driving the touge is the equalizing factor. Unless the matchup is heavily tilted, the better driver stands a better chance to win, but if you're actually doing 2 rounds of chase/lead anything can happen. Or even just dicking around.

Be Eurofag, and have a nice mountain 15 km from where i live, also road is one way and empty at night. Been driving it for last 12 years first on motorcycle then car. Drove shitty cars fast there while listening to eurobeat and now DD a black toned down 2006 Subaru STI A-line with 400hp and still hit the mountain atleast once a week. I have 18" Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 so shitload of grip. Too bad almost all street racers here tune their cars for 50-200km/h runs. Most retarded way of racing ever. One day I will grow up i promise.
