No, you should go out there to learn and have a good time. It doesnt matter what your car is or how fast it is compared to your friends' cars. Read the links in the FAQ, have a good time, be safe and listen to your instructors.

I've tracked a hyundai, you cant be slower than I was. You'll have a blast, as I've found open lapping to be one of the most enjoyable things in life.

But yes as long as the car is safe adn you listen to your instructor, you will have a great time. I know I did the very first time I was on a track.

Enjoy and be sure to post a pic or two.

I took my GEO into the track during lunch, Lets just say when you see a GEO coming down Magic mounten at 60MPH just move out of the way.
You will do fine dont realy on power try to learn the track, falow the slow but experinced drivers not the fast out of control ones.

I (officially?) had the slowest car at Expo 4 and I still r0lled some arrrRs

You don't need to be fast to have fun. I had a lot of fun doing point-byes all the way down the straights and then driving up people's asses in the turns In fact, I'd like to go even slower . . . anyone want to trade me their ITC Civic STD for my CRX Si? Momentum cars are great learning tools.

There was a Toyota Echo w/ a young women blasting around Summit Point at one of the later Summit Point HPDE's.

I think you'll do just fine. Leave your ego at the door, keep a clear head and listen to what your instructor is saying. Have fun.

Hey Kyle,

You and me have a problem here. I have been calling your phone for the last two weeks and you have been ignoring my calls. I dont know whats up with you or anything but I dont know why you dont to start something over just 40 bucks of shocks and springs which you sold me cut. Lets just get this dealt with in a reasonable fashion. You will be getting my calls again tomorrow...Later...

Dang
