I've been thinking of heading out there sometime soon, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable running a track that has barriers immediately on the exit of some of the corners. Not a lot of room for error in my daily driver.

If you go just don't push her hard, and make sure you keep that traction control /DSC on.

I know I am not going to go all out or even try to push my RX-8 to the limit first starting out, but after i get a feel for the track i am going to push her. Besides you can only go so fast or else you will get flagged by the officials.

There will be other cars on the track so respecting each other and yielding is going to be a must.

Better make sure you have someone record it, or have a cam in the car, I'm sure we'd all like to watch that.

I don't get it. Looks like a giant parking lot with lines drawn on it.

^^Yea just an open space with track traced on to it. Like an Autox course, just no cones. If i had something like this close, it would be hard to stay away for that price. $25 to drive like a maniac on a weekly basis (legally), ****...sounds like fun to me.

Any Wednesday next month is cool with me.
