I am letting a friend drive my car in the NASA Hyper Drive. This will be his first time on track so I expect he will be very slow.

And say a prayer that he keeps everything on track…
I hope he is buying track insurance for the time that he is going to be out on the track there! If it is only one day, he should be able to get it for only $100 - 150. It is SOOOOOOOOO worth it if you need it. I have been going to track events for over six years now and still get insurance even though I've never had an incident. I had a close call in the novice group at VIR when an instructor doing a check ride in his race car was passing me on a non-passing turn and I had to hammer the brakes and take a more dangerous line through turn 10. Not a fun moment. I have a friend of mine that had to put over $40k into his 911 to get it back onto the track after backing into a tire wall at 70mph.

Not only do you have to worry about your friend's skills, other driver's skills but also the deer that are known to come out and total cars. YouTube has a 'Vette that gets slammed by one.

I have seen several deer there on the property, but not actually on the track itself.

Good luck!

I am very aware of the risks. I am in the most advanced groups with NASA and F.A.T.T. and I am signed off for Seat Time.

And yes, I have seen many Deer at Summit Point.

Well, again, my lack of knowledge of the different MAZOC members (I've only attended two meets), appears to bite me. I did not question your skills. Just trying to help.

No problem. Your advice is still good nonetheless.

Thanks. I should have known that you track it based on the mods listed in your signature.

Have fun at the track.
