Don't take this the wrong way, but that should not even be a question. I'm not trying to come off high or mighty or anything but I've seen some crazy sh*t over the years with those lapping groups (and in general). You can argue the "drive within your limits" thing but do you actually trust the other yahoos out there to do the same? I sure don't.

Take that as advice or me being an a**hole, but you guys are a good group and the last thing I want to see is one of you getting hurt because of someone not having a clue of what they're doing.
I have seen the Youtube videos of the crashes at the track, wouldn't go without one. I was just curious. I'm not going to a track for a while with the car (can't afford anything to happen to it).
