Let's leave driving 9/10 to a dedicated HPDE event.

My issue is not with the event, rather the way it was presented. I saw "track time" and bought my tickets before more details of the event were made clear. I was (and still am to some degree) hoping we go at a tick faster than Oregon "spirited back-road" pace, but based on the description of expected speeds that does not appear to be the case. On to the whole "public" thing, come on, we are all adults here and each have a comfort level we can drive at, it's not like there is any pressure to go beyond one's abilities even at real HPDEs.
Still looking forward to the event, and I'm sure there will be plenty of fun to be had on the kart track and the autocross.
