If my car can ever manage to stay out of the shop, I really want to start road racing. Local guy with a .2 GT3RS recommended Pro Autosports which organizes track days at Firebird in Phoenix.
Anyone have experience with this outfit or with Firebird?

I ran with ProAutoSports a couple times back years ago. However they only run at Firebird. There are 4 tracks at firebird but they are not that good. NASA runs at PIR, Firebird main, INDE and is very well run organization. I think NASA Az has been doing a very good job of mixing up the tracks and the event types to keep things fresh. Plus they have a Saturday night BBQ for all drivers. Fun time to hangout and talk with fellow car guys.
NASA also organizes and supports events for both the Local PCA and BMW club. Do a PCA DE and there the corner workers are NASA guys and a number of BMW tracks days are run in conjuction with NASA. Next event is Jan 8th and 9th at PIR.

I would really do the next NASA event at PIR. After Feb they are tearing up the track and I heard at the SCCA event there a few weeks ago that they might not have the infield section. So no more PIR maybe... I am thinking about instructing that event. I could work with you if you would like. PM me.

+1 to Jim and Joe's posts re:NASA. Great people and organization. Come check it out in January.
In order to post on the forum you may need to be a member IIRC. Definitely the spot to get dialed in with what is going on.
Cheers!

I'm seriously considering joining you guys for the Jan 8-9 weekend at PIR. We (POC) haven't raced there in 5 or 6 years and I remember loving/hating it especially that turn off the banking (T1?). Our first race isn't until the end of February and I'm not sure I can last that long. How much run time do you get in a race class like mine (ST2), how popular is ST2 there, and is there a Friday practice?
OK 2 more questions: Can I get my 2011 annual at the track, and is there a Dynojet nearby?.....
Thanks,
JRG

JR come on down, weather should be beautiful, PIR is an easy track the transition at T1 is the pucker point but after a few laps it's not so daunting...
The typical weekend is gates open Friday (setup only no track time) then saturday 15-20min warm up, 15-20 min practice, 15-20min qualify, 30-35min race (depends on the schedule and split classes or combined) wash rinse repeat for sunday...
Barbecue on Saturday night when track goes cold. If you call ahead of time Jim flucky does them at the track by appointment. Doubt there will be a dyno at the track might be able to do that on friday at one of the local shops.

bonehead, Yeah the cards aren't "ruling" much these days. Let me know if you end up doing the event and would like to work with me. I can only do Saturday....bummer.
JR, We have a dyno and we would love to see your spec 996 so just let us know.
