I signed up for the Motorsports Club of Ottawa's tracking day at Calabogie Motorsports Park. My lowly Golf will join other drivers for a "run-what-you-brung" session in the afternoon. Should be exciting, even if I'm with an instructor and basically learning the track and racing line. If it's as kick ass as I think it'll be, I'll probably get hooked into doing a full day next spring.

I don't think the sessions are extremely high tempo, so I feel OK taking my car stock. They require a self tech check. Is there anything I should absolutely do before going, besides preparing for the potential to replace brake pads and tires prematurely?

Have a racing Golf for your evening!

Clean your car out completely, for one. Ditch things like the jack, possibly the spare and any other non-essential things that are easy to remove.

And whatever you do, don't push it too far past your comfort zone.

Stay safe and have fun!

When I read the title of your post my it's-almost-bedtime-brain mistook the "L" on lapping, for an "F".

Anyways, have fun!

It's a good thing there isn't a typo
