excuse my closeminded approach but, YOU DON'T HAVE A RACE CAR!!!!
I'm sorry we can't all drive little light weight imports. The last time I checked, a fucking Eagle Talon wasn't being delivered with a rollcage at the local dealer either. I suppose 4 wheel disc brakes, huge sway bars, and posi shouldn't be considered either, only the weight of the car. I'm flat out insulted that you would think I would purposely endanger anyone, if the brakes fade, I'll pull off the course, if I am holding someone up, I'll pull off the course, if anyone but you is holding me up, I'll drop back and enjoy the chase. I'd be real tempted to run you over after reading your ignorant approach to this. Page 4, here you come, and you won't run if someone like me is going to be there knowing nothing more than the brand of car I drive?!? As I said before, if I scare you, stay the fuck home, don't drive on the streets either, there are way bigger vehicles out there 3 point turn, that's cute, you really have no fucking idea what you are talking about..............

You're already an annoyance and the location and date haven't even been discussed.

I've seen Dodge SRT Trucks, Ford Lightnings and Crown Vics at Sebring, Moroso and Homestead. Those tracks reach twice the speed that this track will.

I'm confident this will be run with safety being the primary concern.

If anyone needs instruction there will probably be someone there to help.

If anyone is being a total ass they will be sent home and forever lambasted on this board. And nobody on this board wants to be considered a shitty driver.

Don't be so quick to judge there bud... Straight line speed is typically about the car, driving around a course is typically about the driver. I know folks that could put you to shame driving BBB's car, no matter what you are driving(sorry, BBB don't know you or your driving ability, you may be in that same genre)...

I understand drifting isn't allowed, but don't knock the motorsport. Just tell them to preregister for DDay 6 on April 30th.
