Yup. In the wet at Red Star they kicked in a lot for me as soon as I started pushing it. Even with all the goodies on, the car can get pretty unsettled. Even on the street, if you throw the car into a corner after a good shower, it has a certain momentum that has to play out before the car can stabilize again.
I'm susceptible to distraction, especially when chatting to a passenger, and it takes very little distraction to make a big mistake.
Well, as that video you posted earlier in the thread shows, faster the speeds =
lower margin for error. Being 0.4sec off can be huge.

Anyway - I love the fact that you constantly encourage people to go at their own pace. Testosterone can often get in the way of this, and cars have a way of bringing out the testosterone in spades

Freedom mentioning changing transmission fluid - my gears feel slightly stiffer ever since the track day o.O. Does this even make sense? Same with the oil. I could be imagining things, but the 5w30 they put in feels "thicker" somehow. Like I have to work the car slightly harder to cruise. I had 0w20 before. It doesn't say so on the bottle, but that's what they told me it is *shrug*.
