any track is as safe as it's driver. i've been taking all my daily drivers to the track for the last.. forever and i've never had any close calls (well just one last yr where i think i fell asleep for a second and went straight off the track.. lol). i also do push pretty hard but never beyond what i'm comfortable with (a lot of ppl oddly need to learn this...)

just be smart, check the ego at the door. enjoy your track day!

white rocket: the $550 reflects the cost of the instruction by proformance iirc. the $275 were for the all you can run open days for those who have been signed off.

I'm tracking with my car, it should be fun, and make people sad that I'm "destroying" my car :(

Destroying a car is allowing it to weather and age and slowly die without being used for its true purpose.

Define true purpose? So tell the people who own civics and corollas that they are only to be used for appliances? Executive sedans like E klass, 5ers to sedately ferry executives in the back seat?

Sounds good when you read it, but horrible in reality.

Fundamentally, the true purpose of any motor vehicle is to be driven, regardless of what capacity. So yes, if it's left to sit and rot, it's being left to "die".

It sounds even better when you read it properly. I never said they were only to be used for that, but that it's a waste not to use it for its true purpose at all.

Using your examples, a Civic and Corolla are generally A to B cars but also meant to have some fun and sportiness. An executive sedan generally ferries around execs but also has the balls to really move when you give it the beans. Any of those cars are also wasted by just puttering around pointlessly their entire lives, the same way a big truck is truly destroyed by only being used to ferry kids to soccer practice. An extreme example would be driving to the mall in a semi truck. That is destroying a vehicle because you've completely missed the point of it.

IMO if you're not using a vehicle to it's full potential at least occasionally you bought the wrong car.
