I'm going down with a friend Friday. I was thinking about running my car to get a baseline. I'll have to see how crazy it is when I get there. If the place is empty I'll risk running, but if it's packed there's no way I'm going to run an untested car and risk breaking and shutting down the track on national TV.

Other than one or two runs down the 1/4 I'm generally going to avoid the whole game-show part of it other than as part of the crowd spectating. It does sound like good entertainment from that perspective.
