 I tried my first lapping school last spring and now I'm hooked.
It's only weighs ~1250lbs, so it's very fast (depending on how heavy the passenger is!). The owner told me when he takes bigger guys for a ride, he doesn't get into top gear like he normally would. It's a six speed sequential (like a motorcycle) and he clutches only to downshift - to upshift, he just lifts the throttle.
I found out my Pilot Super Sports are not directional, so I can swap left to right. This should give me another couple of lapping days for next summer. I'm still thinking of getting some 17x9 with 245/40R17s that are more suited to tracking - maybe BFG Rivals.

For my tires, I rotate them after every second track event at least, if a full day lapping then I will rotate after each one. It very much evens out the wear. I'll be able to do another full season of track and street with these tires.
17x9 lightweight wheels are key, and 245's are a great size for our car.
James' Radical seems awesome. I'm jelly.....
