The key to any track event is to drive within your comfort zone. At the end of the day/event, nobody is getting any trophies, tv interviews, champagne showers or groupies.
My first track event in the NSX was at NSXPO 2001 at Road America. I already had graduated Skip Barber's Racing School and Advanced Racing School and was passing most people while driving a Formula Dodge and Formula 2000.
I came to Road America with that background and was placed in the Novice Group. I had ten sessions on the track over the course of two days and was signed off to go solo after my 4th session on the first day.
I passed one car in ten sessions.
I had a great time giving point bys all day long and took pride in being signed off to go solo at my first track event and my instructor was Bruce McPherson. I drove within my comfort zone as an NSX track newbie and was hooked.
So much so that I now have 80 track days in the NSX.
I still get passed by the higher HP cars but am happy to be an Open Tracker knowing that I can safely drive with the best and fastest and not worry about ego bruising as I let a GT2, Z06, Lotus or those pesky spec miatas go by as necessary.
Embrace the opportunity but leave the testosterone at home.
