Second, no offense to anyone, but unless I've actually seen you drive, know that you arent an idiot, and honestly know how to handle your car I'm not going to go carve corners with you. I dont care what you drive. A good handling car with a bad driver is still a fuck up waiting to happen. And we all know that The Wok can't drive...and has a small penis. Just see his sig to verify. I only have a handful of people that I would ever trust to go driving in such a place and none of them are registered on DragVa. Coincidence? Perhaps.

Third, I've been on a drive through the mountains before with a few people I quasi-trust and some people I dont trust. And we all know what happens. One person does something stupid, someone has to one-up them by being a bigger idiot and finally someone goes home with a wreckless driving ticket and maybe a torn up car. All of this seconds after everyone said how careful they will be. Shit happens.

Fourth, I'm attending a "invite-only" NASA Autox on Sunday, so I'm busy.

Fifth, My Valentine One doesnt work too well on curvy mountain roads.

Sixth, My SE-R is out of commission as a street car from now on. As of VIR last week it's finally a dedicated track car. I'm not planning on running shaved RA-1's on a mountain road either, sorry.

Seventh, My Miata doesn't have a SCCA legal rollbar. Yes, I plan on possibly using it, thats the point.

Eighth, Same as Brian, I have no medical insurance for the moment. I risked a lot at VIR, but nothing happened. Not going to push my luck til I get something.

Ninth, At this point I'm just seeing how many points I can make on one topic.

Tenth, I dont want to hurt an Elise driver's feelings by leaving him for dead on a backroad in a 106rwhp Miata.

Eleventh, the next NASA event is at Summit Point's Shenedoah track. It's practically a backroad it's so tight and technical. Horsepower means veyr little at this track. Do all of yourselves a favor and sign up and get some actual track experience. www.nasaracing.net I'm already registered.

Twelth, I appreciate the invite, but I'm going to have to pass. I plan on getting my comp liscense and going racing wheel to wheel by July 2006, if I wreck a car, I want it to be at VIR.

Thirteenth, I'm done.

I dont know who your insurance is with, but it should be covered. HPDE = High Performance Driver's Education...NOT a racing school. A driver's education track day is to make you a better and safer driver and it SHOULD be covered under insurance. We had a 350z eat the guardrail twice and then head-on into a tire wall. He came into the next class session asking about insurance claims and the lead instructor said he has actually talked to a insurance company helping the "student" out in a claim. It can be done. Stop making excuses. Bring dat shit.
