    My insurance covers any track day, I just have to let them know before I go. Only condition is I'm not racing. They would cover me for a fun day at the drags but not a meet

    http://smitsgroup.co.nz/p1464v0/Domi...dhesive-Filler
    and this
    http://smitsgroup.co.nz/p3062v0/Domi...esive-Weld-Kit

    Both are real easy to use and come with good instructions on the box.
    Buy lots of sand paper and a block.

    That really depends on if you maintain them correctly on a regular basis. Given it's a half hour with a tooth brush every few thousand kms, there's really no excuse.
