How does this work out with the warranty? I did the Bondurant course in phoenix but the was with corvettes and although the basics are the same I still feel like I am back to square one with this AWD sports car.. So if it is not going to void warrenty at all I would be up for it possibly

The school is filling up fast,,, With question about warranty,,,,there would be absolutely no reason it would void your warranty. Mitsu Canada has been quite supportive of this "endeavor" so far.

Hahahaha...don't bet on it. Weren't they trolling forums before voiding warranties of people that had done any "racing/trackdays". Or was that Subaru. Actually, I think its stated somewhere in the warranty that it doesn't cover any track time.

Sounds awesome man, I totally want in, but there isn't enough details there. What date will it be held? It's $200 deposit but how much is it in total?

Also this don't apply to us MR guys I guess ;)

I am diligently working on a school and track days for this year. I'd have it out earlier but Race City only got the Green light 2 weeks ago. It was $450 I think last year but the more interest, the cheaper it gets.
