Yeah, the more experienced drivers I spoke to shared the exact same sentiment, with respect to pushing yourself and the car into a bad situation. I've witnessed first hand on only two occasions (thankfully) what happens when motorcycle riders try to push too quickly outside of their comfort zone or experience level. Something I fully intend to not demonstrate for other parties with my Z.

Ha ha ha. Yup, my train of thought started going that way after the conclusion of the weekend. Although I think I may be a little conservative with the modding progress on the Z. It's the first performance car I've owned and up until 2015 my only project was a 2006 CBR, which cost significantly less to modify and prep for track.

Having both will definitely require me to find some balance.
