Still Have Questions?
"What if there's no track near me?"
Define "near." Most drivers travel 2-4 hours for track days.
Make it a weekend trip. Hotel + track day = awesome weekend.
"What if I don't have a sports car?"
You don't need one. Miatas, Civics, stock Mazda3s all work.
You're learning to drive, not setting lap records.
"What if I've never done this before?"
That's what novice groups are for.
You get a free instructor.
Everyone was new once.
"What if I crash?"
Track insurance exists ($150-400/event).
Incident rates in novice: ~8% (most are spins, not crashes).
Drive at 70% and you'll be fine.
