Guys my point of tracking is not to become a pro or become an every weekend tracker...I only want to do it with MY car to see how a turbo really runs on a track...this group is non-competitive and is really just lapping at your own pace so you can get some track time with your car without putting yourself in a dangerous or uncomfortable position...I would be part of a Novice group that would need an instructer the first time to show me the ropes and you move up as you get comfortable...no competetive racing for me

ColorChange is infamous around these parts
Evan - I hear you but my comments still stand. Read the book that way you will understand the terminology, concepts, AND basic safety.
Also, don't think your safe: YOUR NOT! Ask racer63 how many shunts he's seen at DE events. Please make sure you pick a safe track and have fun.

Trust me I know you are right, I just wanted to make sure you knew this was not competitive racing, just some fun lapping...yes I know I am not safe, but am SAFER!! Also I know this track pretty well, aren't many places to have a major problem (walls very far from track, lots of grass between).

Sounds beautiful. I normally run at a track called Gingerman. Sheared a spindle im my Lambo 1 turn before a wall. 10 seconds later and I would have been looking at an easy $50k and this might be the safest track in the country.
Please tell us when you finally get behind the wheel on hot laps!

a driver doesn't become a good driver until he loses it a few times.

My car is right next to that GT2 in the picture of the Porsche area...my car along with another turbo didn't fit in the shot...
