You're less likely to get into a wreck there than on the street...

Yeah, I don't over drive a car past where it feels good and goes to scary.

Hmm. Not exactly sure I agree. Hitting someone or getting hit perhaps, but we saw at least 3 cars go off track. One had to be towed back.

Good to have options JM ;-)

Bet you they were people who were pushing beyond their limits. Cars don't typically get tangled up with each other at a driver's school as people are discouraged from riding each other's ass and passing in unsafe areas
.
Nobody is on their phone. Nobody is texting. Nobody is fiddling with the radio, or reading a newspaper, or cutting people off and weaving between traffic. Everyone is giving their 100% attention to what they are doing, and have someone who knows what the heck they're doing in the seat beside them focusing entirely on the driver. Sounds way safer to me than being on the street.

agreed!

Probably true BP. No tangled cars. Just off the track... They were very clear/strict on passing etc. I felt pretty safe but that I had to maintain absolute focus on every turn.

201k mi. New tie rods and rear trailing arm bushings. Both badly needed.





Also replaced the inner wheel well part that got destroyed on the track day--I don't suggest 18x8.5 on the front...



I also figured out what the loud clunk I heard on one of the corners was... HID ballast is MIA (along with some other parts)...

Thumbs up.

Alignment at 202,230mi

How does it drive now?

[ELCID86]

Nicely. Slight pull to the right if I take my hands off the wheel due to the caster on the right side.
