Drive it like you stole it

I agree with driving a manufacturer or track owned car at events if possible. The instructor's know them best and risking your own hardware is not "prudent."

At the Russell event described above I warped my front break disks by pulling over to think through what I was doing wrong on entering one turn and leaving my foot on the breaks ($1,800 repair later). Also, the knuckle-head that spun out twice was luckily following me both times. If he had been in front, "bad things" might have happened to my car (on wait list 17 months to get it).

Russell had track prep'ed Mustangs to lease and I would pay the extra if I wanted to take such a class again.
