But I agree 100% with Jeff. If you try this, decide you like it, and do it often, the best thing you can possibly spend your money on is time behind the wheel. I have sooo many students that bring their modified cars to the track and get passed by econoboxes with better drivers. And I am always amazed that the first thing out of their mouth is that they need a bigger this or better that, never that they need to work on driving skill.
Yep, that's why hiring a good instructor for one of your first 5 or so events is money well spent. So many guys that I work with tell me that in their previous HPDE's: I got an instructor for one session, I got an instructot that didn't say anything and didn't do a debrief, I had 3 different instructors that told me different things,etc. Working with one person thru 6 or 8 sessions makes a big difference.
