There you'll learn your limits as well as the car's limits with an instructor to help you at a place where everyone is going in the same direction and there's no CHP. You first time fast guys shouldn't worry about getting held up in the Novice Class. These are not parade laps; you will get to go as fast as you can safely go and be able to pass slower drivers on the straights. You might want to get a little seat time in traffic before moving up, but if you get hooked on this track day stuff, move up you will, as soon as your instructor signs you off. This is not door-to-door racing, but it is just one step below that. Safety always comes first at a track day. Next comes fun, and this is about the most fun you can have in a MINI. In addition, you'll have an inside view of the opening round of the MINI Challenge Race as well as be able to visit with the Handsome Windblown Drivers in the paddock between runs.</p> <p>Look us up in the paddock. Sad Arthur will be easy to find (see my NAM Gallery), and I just may be the one strapping into your right seat to show you the line.</p> <p>See you on the Speedway, Sid</p> <p>http://www.amviv.com/ http://www.minidriving.com/</p> <p>Edit/Delete Message</p> All you ‘Bahn burners and back road Marios should definitly bring your stuff to the Las Vegas Speedway on March 25th during AMVIV and join us for a Phil Wicks Driving Academy event.
