The title is dripping with sarcasm.
Come to find out the tracks around here require you ride with an instructor before turning you loose on a track. Makes perfect sense but I thought I could use a radio and how an instructor in the tower etc keep an eye on me. (My track car now is a one seater.)
Wrong, I ended up taking my Kia Soul to the track for my evaluation. It actually turned out not be as bad as I thought once I got the tire temps correct and realized you could turn off traction control. If anybody has been to CMP at Kershaw, we finally started going through the Kink at 85mph+ in the Kia. Not sure it the hairs would stand up anymore than there were doing that.
Luckily I got cleared to run my next time in DE solo. I don't think the tires on the Kia could stand another 30 minute session.
Also, only 2 other cars out on the track most of the day. A high $ porsche and an M3. They lapped me once every 30 minutes when we were turning the Hamsters loose!!!!!
