Most people I talk to have some kind of fear of bringing their car to a track day, and I think it is based on the name "racetrack".
The misperception is that when your street car drives on the "racetrack", it will become a "racecar" and you will become a "racecar driver". Ahem, pardon me ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't work like that.
It's still YOU, driving YOUR OWN CAR, at YOUR OWN COMFORT & SKILL LEVEL. That means if you don't like the sound of your tires howling for grip, you can slow it down! If you don't want to run to redline every shift, then don't! You get the idea. Presumably you are there because you have some interest in seeing what you can do and seeing what your car can do, right? This is a giant play area where you can safely push the envelope of the car's performance and your own skill. It is not a competition.
Also - thanks a bunch Scott for this special BB!
Also - Cliff and Roger and Scott, I am going to try to get to the 5/19 meeting, but that is a long haul from Sacto, to make it by 6:30PM. I guess if I criticized you all for not making it to the track, I better find *some way* to get myself to the meeting, or be subject to the same treatment!
Also - Kevin, I didn't realize that there was a waiting list. Hope you make it next time!
