Topic: Pau Arnos road racing circuit

I made a cool finding on Wednesday, when I found a road racing track that was 15 minutes from where we have recently moved.

They have moto track days almost every week, the cost for a full day at 85 euros or about $130., and 1/2 days for about $80. Is this in line with pricing for american track days?

I stopped over and was able to watch a can am car as well as what looked like a couple of f3 cars practicing. I attached a couple of photos.

I am kind of interested in trying to participate in the future. While I don't have any road racing experience, I understand some of the theory. I'm going to return and watch a track day outing to see what it's like before making up my mind, then I'll have to find something to use. Would a 600-750 mm3 displacement be reasonable for a novice?

Thanks for any advice,
Ben

Ah, I meant cm3 rather than mm3.

Cool find Ben.  Are you now an ex-patriot?  Avoiding the tax man, or are you in the witness protection program like me?

Hey Art!

I hope you're feeling OK.
No, I'm beginning to feel like a ping pong ball, as it seems like I just go back and forth.
I'm looking forward to putting gas in the CB and getting it going. Seems like if the weather doesn't cooperate soon, we'll be paying $30. to fill up, crazy isn't it!

All best,
Ben
