You'll have a blast, Neenja Mastah.   waytogo

Don't try to go fast.  Seriously.  You'll end up going fast if you try not to.  If  you try to go fast, you won't.  It's weird.  Tape your key in your ignition the night before.  Don't forget your helmet (you wouldn't be the first).  And use two laps each session to *gingerly* warm up your tires.


The key word there is gingerly. Not Maryanne...she likes it rough...but gingerly.

Very cool, NM. I'll be interested to hear your experiences. I'm hoping to take my own 250 (same tires, even) to the track sometime this year.

Have fun and think very hard about what you know to do.  If you find yourself going into a turn too hot, look across the turn and dont fixate on the edge of the track.  You go where you look.  Most of all HAVE FUN!!! applause
