I've sat in one but never driven one. All I remember is that the controls are nothing like a "normal" car.

Same.
It's totally different. Among other things, it's got a lever on the steering column that controls the timing.

over 13hrs from the E. Coasters.


I don't really have a dog in the fight. I'm pretty much in the middle in any direction. 6.5 to barber, 3-ish from NCM, 5.5 from Grattan, 6 from Pittrace, 11 from NJMP, 9 from VIR.

Needless to say the April one is out. May I'm not sure but I'd be down for any of the others.

I'd definitely be in the novice class as I've never done a track day.
