You're welcome, anytime! :thumbsup: If you're going to attend any more of them be sure to talk to the other guys on here about discount codes. Share the love. :)

So jealous you get first shot at Dominion. I can't get down there until the June event but I plan to make it a killer vaca. Kings Dominion Monday, Dominion Raceway Tuesday, NJMP Wednesday... What problem? :D

Just came back from the Track Night at NJMSP. Had a bad day, but learned a lot.

Learned;

1. Don't drive with the intermediate class with stock tires.

2. Make sure when you're compensating and struggling on stock tires to check your mirrors for the backup you created.

3. Get the right tools for the job, Get the proper tires!

My apologies to those I backed up in session 2, I left after that since I pissed off a few people and didn't want to get shot. I will go back to novice on stock tires, then when I get the $$ for stickies I'll go back to Intermediate. I'm buying a house so I hope to get stickies ASAP :] I have the track and the turns in my head and hit the apexes awesome! All in all not bad for my second and third ever track drive all on stock tires. When i get stickies I know I'll be ahead of the pack!!!

It probably had nothing to do with tires, but everything to do with you not checking the mirrors.

No it had 50% to do with the tires

I once rode with an instructor driving a rental Honda fit in advanced group, had no problem at all letting people pass while flying around the track. It's about track awareness, not the speed of the car or tires.

Good point. :thumbsup: I must be more aware.
