High Intermediate always seemed to be the worst though, I'd rather be with the beginners.

I would always be the first to grid to give myself maximum open track in front of me.
The last track day I did, I continually started last because a buddy and me were sharing the car for the day, so I didn't have a choice. And typically this group was going out in the same order.
Every session I caught the next two guys before the end of the first lap...........1.8 mile 10 turn track........in a 1.6 Miata.
Always be first to grid unless you're slow.
