Well well, I sure missed THIS thread. If it makes you feel better, I have plenty of footage of my incident
Registered for my first HPDE (TrackDaze VIR - Nov 16/17)
Everyone I talked to who is FAR more experienced than I simply said that I'll be better for this. It was true - I hit the track 8-ish months later with a clear head (and better instructor), and had a GREAT time!
Pointless to type more on my feelings - spearfish did a great job summarizing all my thoughts. Get your confidence back, preferably on a track, and go forward.
