Your comments fit well into this forum. I studied this forum for weeks before finally joining. I enjoy the factual no nonsense appoach everyone takes. You will notice the comments were very analytical about the S2000 and it's capabilities. I am left with the opinion I need to go to driving school before I do anymore trash talking (not that I did much in the first place).
I hope you can give me some driving tips. You are obviously a much better driver than most on the track.
Thanks
lol, all of the guys and galls on s2kca are calm and orderly.
as anyone you ask that has been to the track would tell you, just listen to you instructor!! for you i would STRONGLY recomend going with The Drivers Edge! they have a meeting before the first track day and each morning before you go out on the track
the instructor are VERY knowledgable about the track and are very friendly. at the end of the event your instructor fills out a card that you can get a copy of later from Rick(the owner of The Drivers Edge). the card tells you all about your driving and if you come back to the track what run group they would recommend you go in.
Even though mine solo'ed me the second day, he recommended that i have an instructor for at least one run at the next event.
i dont know if you were under the impression that these events are timed. THERE NOT. infact they have a strict policy that ALL instructors and event managers DONT have anytype of stopwatch for keeping lap times.
The event is not a compitition at the drivers edge. HPDE stands for High Performance Drivers Education. that is what it is just Drivers Education, the reason is to go to the track and learn to control your car while taking it the edge in a controlled envernmnet.
When i went i had a blast, i just wish i would go back. but right now funds are low
i know with the drivers edge you can go to an event and not have to pay anything to get in and watch and Possibly get a ride with an instructor(you may have to "donate" to ride)(when i was at the track my girlfriend and i got a ride in a 360 modena challenge stradale and a lingenfelter supercharged Vette, both instructors)
they also have a parade lap where you can take any 4wheeled vehicle on the track for 3 free laps at like 20-35mps(could be faster)
all in all just go and have fun with your car
