i have background in road racing motorcycles. if you want to talk scary, lets talk about nearly high siding at 60+mph.a little understeer with an evo passing me wont be the scariest thing ive ever been through.
im not sure about anyone else, but i know tyler has experience with dirt bike riding and go kart racing so i think if he decides to go, he will be fine aswell. not everything can be taught in a class room. some things you just have to get out and do.
Yeah ive raced Go-Karts, Pocket bikes, and dirt bikes heh.
never a full sized car though. I wouldnt mind an instructor, but im ready to go out there and learn from the exprience. It shall be fun

I know these track dazs sound like fun but I would suggest that before heading out to the track like this you should attend a school like the SCCA offers at ThunderHill raceway. I don't know what they currently call it but at one time it was called performance street driving. You start off with an instructor who teaches you how to drive FAST and SAFELY around the closed circuit race course. The cost is about the same and you get about the same time driving on the track but with a experienced race driver instructor riding shotgun. The good thing is that there is also an equal amount of class room training in high speed driving.
There is nothing scarier than being on a track full of novice drivers who have no idea what they are doing. You may think you can drive, but you really have no idea what driving is until you hit the track with everyone going fast enough to kill you at any second.
I have an other issue with the track day.. The stock Fit is a slug when it comes to pushing it around a road course at 100 mph. It is a lot more fun to autox than road course the Fit....(cheeper too!)
Thats something I would be interested in doing.

The Marina venue has a good concrete surface, but the sea breeze will deposit salt on the surface and winds bring in fine sand. All together, they can make for a very slipper surface especially if you are in the early run groups. After that it becomes extremely important to stay on line.
