  Oh yes, I've done plenty, as well as autocross. To do it right, I need another set of wheels. I can buy scrub hoosiers or r888s for ~ $100/tire (vs $400 new), so the wheels make sense. Then the C5s are HARD on brakes. I'm still on OE rotors with no cooling, so I need to add cooling, and plan for a set of rotors for every weekend I go out. Plus pads. At least I've got wilwood calipers up front now which use a much cheaper 7420 pad with more material (compared to OE). Plus entry fees, and other consumables. Oil changes every weekend out. And I need a trailer to get the car to/from the track. Trust me, if I had the $ I'd be doing it, but having done it I know what the real costs are.

    Have you considered buying a motorcycle? Track days are cheap as chips on a 125 or 250.
