Jefferson and Shenandoah, for sure. Main, I can't see the Z losing unless the driver isn't winding it out...

You're probably right. There is enough high speed running on Main. If the S2K were to win it would need a lot of help from the Z.

Sometimes, you just need to recognize ya did something stupid. Sure, it would be nice, but if you approach is properly, you shouldn't have any issues at all.

If I totaled it..yeah, I did something seriously wrong lol. Personally, I say that getting it for your first weekend out isn't a bad idea. Past there, you should be ok.

The trouble with this is... you need it most when you don't have it.

IMO, if you can afford to write your car off... do with out. If you can't, buy track insurance*.

*If you can't afford to pay the high deductible should you total your car, don't go to the track yet.

I'm more worried about the things I can't control, like some other driver trying to be Michael Schumacher out there and crashing into me.

Or an oil line coming loose causing a loss of control.

I have never heard of something so dumb in anything other than instructor, or advanced groups.

I can't wait for another RandyD cruise. I loved the one when we trolled Jay at Bluemont.

I may have exaggerated a bit, but like Steve said there are some unexpected things that you can't control. I might not make a mistake, but someone else's mistake could cost me. In that situation I'm still screwed without track insurance.

except for that damn road going up to it.

eastwest2300 · 01-29-2013, 11:47 AM

The question is, when are we going to the track? lets have a CRUISE to the track, how about that? That way we can combine the best of both worlds. Blades, would that make you happy? You can wash your panties now..

Well the track event is in late April. There are some nice roads on the way there. It's only like 1.5 hrs to WV. If you are actually serious about this, you'll need some track prep mods before we go. Brake pads/fluid, clutch fluid, and possibly an oil cooler too.

eastwest2300 · 01-29-2013, 11:55 AM

Dude, Im not trying to run laps around the track, I wanna race you in the quarter mile, thats it, thats all i wanna do.
