I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets confused by cones.

That's why I like track runs. I would be up to do an AutoX event if we could get one for all of us?

I just want to learn, and wherever the knowledge comes from I'm thankful.

You are thinking to much into it tho... the speed is low. You really dont go that fast. they put out plenty of cones, and after one or two runs you basically know what to do.

And if you want to be competitive, keep in mind that outside of your local group here, you will probubly be demolished by the people who normally go to these things (we all would).

And worst case... you take out a cone... oh well...

Cones weren't as bad as I was expecting. Like Josh said, it's relatively low speed so you have time to think before making your move.

You don't have time to think out there... if you think... you're dead.

I told him to come to the board and just read the comments and find out for himself. Okay, not really.

I told him that we all had a great time and that many want to come back again. He said that if we wanted to do an evening karting session to just let him know when and he would work with us to make it happen. I'll leave the coordination for the next event up to someone else though.

He probably referred to us as Nissan Enthusiasts because that is what I told him we were.

Jon, why not see if he could let us have some time to show people "the line" and work on basics? Instead of just throwing people out onto the track.

Is everyone there to post competitive times, or is anyone just going for fun?

This. However, is a tremendous learning opportunity, too.

So, for my own benefit and so I may best learn from and enjoy my driving experiences, what is your recommended progression? Shouldn't I have a base level of comfort with my own vehicle before signing up for HPDE or AutoX? When is it enough?

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:17 AM.
