Re: MattD WINS MOWOG AutoX SM class for 2009!

I value my car also and wrecking was a concern the first time out. We don't hessitate at all in taking either James' or my car to the track now. Have seen several new GTRs there, ZR1 vettes, new vipers, GT40s, etc. Not that we don't care about our cars, there is not much to hit.

My concern about wrecking is only if for some reason I lose my brakes or have some kind of mechanical failure. Then trouble can happen. I have been off track several times and no concern about rolling or hitting anything. Actually I have alot more confidence in my car by due to spinning out. I am 99% sure the car will never roll on flat ground.

It is something where you go as fast as you want to go. Start off slower and gain speed with confidence. There is no pressure to go fast, 85% of people attending the driving school have never been there before.

You are a good driver and should do well. The car should do great.
