How many miles on your Renesis before you tracked it?

Just want a general idea of how many miles people put on their Renesis before taking it to a track day event

autox's do not count, as the wear on the engine from autox is minimal. track day events only please, and no race-prepped cars, just street cars that gets tracked :D

please vote! :o

^yeah but racecars don't have to worry about engine lasting more than a whole season (usually a few races), I would like to have my engine running for 100000+ miles at least :o

realistically, I probably wouldn't actually own the car long enough to get to that many miles, but you never know....

Just hit 10,000 yesterday. The local SCCA has no place to race

I did find a drag strip just east of Milton, fl. so I may try to go out there.
