I'm going to try the track eventually, just not yet. I'm with Ty...I'd like to push the limits of my car (and me!) at the autocrosses some more before I try something at high speeds. I just want to get used to losing it and recovering at 30 MPH on a nice flat parking lot before I try it at 75-80 at the track. I know, I know. It's relatively safe. But still...

You learn a whole lot more at the track than 60 seconds at autox. It's a great environment to learn and you can go as fast/slow as you want since it isn't really a competition. You actually get to know the course and can improve on the previous laps, it takes about half a day to get a good feel for the track, then after that it's just perfecting the lines. And there's always the chance you can ride along in a radical!!! If you don't know what that is, go to the track and find out!

I'm thinking about it. I would want to go on Saturday, but I'm going to the Queens of the Stone Age concert the night before. I don't want to be asleep behind the wheel. AND it's $175. That's going to come straight out of my Miata mod fund.
Anybody going the night before? If I went, I might just ride out after the show. I'd prolly hit Pahrump by 1AM. Hmmm...much to consider.

I'm not going to be doing anything in my Porsche for a week or two. In my inspection after the track event last weekend, I discovered a crack in my engine mount bar. I ordered a new one which will be here in a few days.
I gotta work late nights next weekend and I never like to drive if I am not well rested. I may come out to instruct. Doubt it, but maybe.
