I avoid the "red mist" guys as much as I can. One time some dingbat in a WRX spun in front of me ON THE WARMUP LAP! He got pulled off the track and got a good ass chewing by the stewards, which was funny to hear. "WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S CALLED A WARMUP LAP???"
I watch my mirrors, keep to the right, and challenge myself on every turn.

HPDE is practice.
i still cannot grasp why anyone would spend more money, to go faster, at practice. like if you spent more than 10k on a track day car, that was a foolish waste of money. your HPDE car is optimized when its reliable, and cheap to run. laptime is irrelevant.
