Good points being raised in here. John, I'll talk to you more about this matter in person one of these upcoming days
Stuff I've compiled from previous posts:
- choose your hosts wisely (run with a popular/experienced track host (such as NCRC, Trackmasters, NASA, BMW CCA, etc.)
- obviously prep your car to the best of your capability prior to each event (so as to minimize the possibility of something going wrong)
- obviously have full coverage on your car for anywhere on the street (with AAA towing as a plus, just in case
)
- control your pace wisely: never go beyond self-control (it's not racing, it's schooling
)
