I did mess with a few road course people when I stopped by the NASA event after our AutoX to say high to @kos. I passed a few that were trying to make fun of us and I told them it's just like road course racing minus all the boring straights. We joked back and forth but a lot of them enjoy AutoX and started out there before dumping a boat load of money into a purpose built time trial car/wheel to wheel race car. I feel you can safely have fun doing both as long as you stay well within your limits and your cars limits at the track and learn how to stop an out of control car at AutoX. Also with Pro Auto Sports if someones breaks are failing and they are not knowledgeable enough to get that car off the track and they hit you then they will be fixing your car.

I know I'm thinking way ahead but did NASA let you run in a different group because you have experience. I want to run with them at AMP but if I do a bunch of events with Pro Auto Sports I'm probably not gonna wanna be stuck at 50mph again on my first 2 sessions.
And Shhh! no one is supposed to know were the special event is lol |

Let me respond addressing both NASA and prosports
I am gonna suggest you start red/group1, if you find youself passing excessively or feeling really frustrated an up peoples asses on corners, talk to Dylan and he will move you up,they watch you too you know. orange/group2 is a BIG jump up, folks are running with better tires, faster cars and less tolerance/room for mistakes dont be macho, spend as much time and take as much instruction before you go try and tear it up, spend enough time in red that you can start in the back, and spin out a bunch know the limits well, this is where you learn the most and folks keep distance by the time youre in 3, you have to have youre setup dialed, most guys have track day tires and theres nothing stock really, this a is a 9/10s bunch group4 is all r-comps, and I suggest avoiding this till your ready, its the absolute fastest cars and drivers usually open passing anywhere anything goes this is a 10/10s bunch, accidents can happen and it can be real danger when I started, I started in red and you should too |
