Lapping in a conga line is not racing, not even remotely close. The only similarity is geography.
HDPEs are fun and can be an entry into racing.
Have fun, learn about your car, then repeat.

For sure, it is just having fun in your car pushing hard and no worries of a ticket. At Missouri International a new driver was in my run group with a 911 GT2 RS. 700+ HP and she was lapping way fast than I was. Yea, big shocker. At one point she came up behind me and I pointer her by and stayed pedal to the metal at 4,000 to redline as she blew past me like I was pulling a trailer.
I tell all the other drivers in my run group, I have no ego in the drive. I will give you a point by as soon as I can.

This is at Barber. The prettiest track on the planet. It is the Augusta of race tracks.
