Sandra and I had an awesome time at our first Porsche HPDE with our NSX. The next one in November. If both of us can do it anyone can :tongue: I highly recommend you at least do the Saturday event as a first timer. They give you classroom and behind the wheel instruction before taking to the track. We were all slow at first but by the end of the day we were driving more confidently. Still not even close to the advanced groups but again if we could do it and keep up there are no excuses for any of you not to try it out.
I believe the $175 spent for one day was the best modification I could ever do on my car. I feel so much more confident now. I highly recommend ALL OF US do this because you learn so much about your car and most importantly about your self. The Porsche guys are known as being very strict and they are. We felt very safe and you will too. They had specific places for people to pass and were very strict to enforce aggressive drivers (to some of their displeasure) so that everyone was safe and could have a fun time. They stress a tech inspection but we did not do one. I did my own and made sure the tread was good on the tires, I changed the oil, checked brakes and fluids, tire pressure and torqued lugs nuts and took out loose stuff from the interior. There is a simple sheet that we filled out at the track and then we passed tech easily. The main concern is that you don't have big leaks and that your car is maintained.
Let's try to get a big NSX showing. No excuses, you can even rent a helmet at the track!
