It's hard to tell people to drive balls to the wall everytime you are at the track, especially when we are not backed by sponsors or trustfunds. As long as the driver is driving at a reasonable rate (107% rule?), I don't see what is wrong driving at a pace that you are comfortable with. One thing I do hate is that people get cocky and think they are better than what they are because they compare themselves to other schmoes at some track day. If a 911 is driven by a good driver, can someone in a Miata really keep up? Come on

Huh? I wasn't being pretentious or telling people how to drive. Nor was I commenting on my own abilities. I merely stated that fuel starvation occurs under specific, rather extreme conditions.
