What I do think is that you're crippling yourself with your own mods.

Intake and exhaust does NOT mean you need a tune, so that excuse is out the window. Fearing for the safety of your car since its your only one IS a valid concern before hitting the track. And that is why you don't drive "at the limit". Driving "close to the lmiit" is STILL an exciting experience, especially your first times out. And the best part? You still wont be near the limit likely because you'll be scared shitless lol.

But I think you're setting a bar WAY too high. You're basically saying, "I dont want to JUST be knowledgeable...I want to learn how to do everything, right off the bat". Yeah well no **** haha - everyone wants to get the most out of each event. But you must start at the basics, and that means going slow. And with what you have done to your car, you can go do that right now without fear of "losing" anything. Besides, you can either gain much by going out and doing it, or gain absolutely nothing at all by sitting here and saying you only want to go out and get all or nothing.
This is why I say you don't understand what I'm saying. I'm not saying I want all or nothing. I'm saying that I don't wanna go do one event and be happy. Or a few events as me in my car. I'm saying I want to keep going. I want to compete. Eventually I'll have a 2nd car and that will be taken care of. Eventually I'll have everything done the way it should be done. But it's all in steps. I would like to go beyond me with in an instructor and get to the point to where the instructor feels comfortable with me alone in the car on the track, then get to the point to where its me with multiple cars At speed. Then Racing. And keep going. I'm not saying all or nothing, I'm saying if I go once, then I have to do it again, and better the next time. And so on lol

Again I can't explain it in words to where those more knowledgeable on the mechanics and physics and experience on a track will understand, so I'll just say that you're right, you know the track and you're my go to guy when I have a moment.
