Re: track days can be fun...sometimes.

Too funny and for me, it was extra funny.

I have to be honest My very first track day I got pnwed by a woman in her fifties in a miata. I had a 996 and would pull out 10 to 15 car lengths and then in the corners should would be right back on my tail. After the session, I asked her what she had done to her car, just like this idiot in the video, and she said, basically stock, except for her slicks.

When I think back to those days, I just have to laugh at how utterly clueless I was.

At least I did take on decent instructors and I got better, slowly, over time.

Nope, all 3 of our cars made the 2 days no problems. That Z06 was first session out, with an instuctor in the right seat. One hell of a warm up.
