About 30 years ago it finally dawned on me that to go really fast was going to take buying a new car, and spending a lot of money. That is when I got rid of my race tires, and trailer and just drove my car to the track, had fun on the track, and drove it home. Even if I won FTD it was just another trophy, for the attic.
At one of the tracks, I had an instructor that kept telling me to hit the curbs to have a better line. I said NO, I am not going to do that, I am going to drive this car home just as is. I see no reason to risk bending suspension, wheels or stressing the suspension mount points to gain a 10th of a second on an event that is not even timed, I am here to have fun, not hurt the car or me. He said he understood and he would take that into consideration for future students driving a street car.
