David, the groups I run with are small. 20 to 25 people total, and the run groups are in split into 3 or 4 groups. Most of the time I am basically on track by myself. I do not go nuts and totally avoid the red mist and doing stupid stuff. It is just so much fun to drive the car as fast as you can possibly go. You know for sure there are no speed limits, no kids running out into the road, and it is safe.
I explain it like getting to drive as fast as you can, and if someone was behind you chasing you with a gun and wanting to shoot you if they caught you, you could not go any faster. Running to red line on every shift, braking as hard as possible as late as possible, and letting the car just do what it was made to do. My face always hurts on the drive home from all the smiling on track.
I do NOT try to shift super fast, I avoid pushing so hard I will go off track. I keep it to 90% of the possible performance. There is no trophy, no glory, just go have fun. With a basically stock 37 year old car there is no chance to be really fast. But is sure is fun and not expensive.
