Thanks David - already have some track events under my belt, although this was my first with my NSX.
On the track my eyes can only watch the road, the mirrors and the tach, but I don't think I've ever driven as fast as I did with the NSX, maybe due to the 6-speed gearing allowing me to shift less or just the fact that near redline this thing is simply a monster.
I'm not pissed about going into a spin, I recognize what cause that and that is just a cornering lesson for the next time. But I am pissed about the fact that:
a) I didn't recognize the past-recovery point fast enough and therefore reacted late safety-wise.
b) Frankly, I should have been able to recover or at least be cognizant of the fact that I was *about* to loose it.
So - maybe I was just tired that day or maybe it is the fact that I haven't been on a track for many many years or any number of reasons. Since I couldn't put my finger on it I decided to quit the event early as no one there needed the hazard of an uncertain driver.
But right now I would like to consciously spin some cars under controlled conditions while learning how to detect / recover. Skip Barber seems to provide that.
Then back to the next track event.
Thanks for any further opinions...
