True you can usually go to the tracks website you're interested in and find their calendar

I went on their site yesterday and put some of these in my phone, which are you looking to possibly attend? I have a TNIA gift cert to use and was thinking of PittRace. There are a few I may gravitate towards based around the COMSCC HPDE/TT circuit I run. Certainly the actual plan will be much clearer the closer spring comes upon us...

Right now the plan is all of them haha. I usually miss a few because i wait out the forecast too long, but I'm not a fan of rain track days at all.

Edit 6/1/2020: After now having done two TNiA’s, I get it. The value is definitely there. Obviously works best if you’re local, but I did a 6-hr trip + hotel for TNIA AMP after COVID and it was still very affordable. Also, the HPDE insurance is only ~60% of what you’d pay for a ‘full’ track day and you’re only losing about 1 session in TNIA format.

Typically, it isn't worth it for three 20-minute sessions to have an overnight. I do 5-7 TNIA a year at tracks within a 1-hour drive. The sessions are in the daylight hours and typically the later sessions are the fastest. That isn't the point of TNIA.

It is a great start for beginners. I started there and moved on to Time Trials.

It also seems like sub-optimum conditions (driving into the sun, dewpoint issues, etc) I realize it's just a money/value issue, but I'm wondering how folks that are 4+ hours from a track work TINA into their HPDE schedule. (Ex: If I have to get a hotel anyway, I might as well get a full day in better conditions). Are there follow-on events that typically coincide the following day, or other attractions to draw folks out?

For those who have done it, do you have any feedback or comments on the pro/con of the evening format? I'm open-minded, just struggling to find a scenario where TINA fits into the time/money budget.
