try asking/searching about that before you assume

what if your tie rod snaps and you cant leave... tow truck... lucky if he doesnt call on you.

lamest excuse ive ever heard. everyone sucks when they start, if you feel like people are staring at you, get over it. no one goes to desoto to watch amazing driving, they go with friends to watch people drift and learn. sure there is people who talk shit, but you get that at PRO events too, so you'll never escape it.

self control, learn it. we never even had a chance to have a track day before, and when it started, it was 3-4 months between. now they are once a month and at different locations once a month so there is no reason you cant save it for the track if you were truly not wanting to do it illegally.
I understand some of your reasons, but when there was no events and I did street stuff, I learned the hard way from accidents, tickets, nearly going to jail, and then seeing others do the same. What I say won't change your mind, but I hope you are prepared for what could happen.
