In this case I signed up because I want to give Willow springs a try and it fit into my schedule. In the long run I might consider trying to get a race license but for now I need to work my skills up quite a bit first.
I've been pretty proud of my low rate of two and four wheel off events (I think I've dropped two wheels once when I over cooked Star Mazda some (where I just steered straight like I was supposed to do), and I had a four wheel off going into sunset because I panicked at my entry speed and of course this big one). It is a little strange that all of my offs have been at Buttonwillow; I'm not really sure why other than that maybe the fact that most parts are safer to go off on makes me feel overly safe in general. Out of fourteen track days, four have been at Buttonwillow with no day having more than one event.
