First time on the track: Advice?

[Rich Wesorick]

Obviously, on the track is best, but the simple fact is that most rookies make a mistake at some point and get to learn about going "two feet in". I have spun several times at Putnam over the 10 years I've been going there, and only needed a vacuum afterward. Is there some trouble there in spots? Of course, but nothing like Road America, Watkins Glen, VIR, Sebring, or even Mid-Ohio, which are not ideal tracks for your first time out, as they are pro-racing circuits rather than club-racing tracks.

"Boilers"....what's THAT ?? !!!

One order of magnitude better than a "Hoosier".

Thanks to everyone for all the great tips and advice.

By the way, very nice to meet you...and that IS a really sharp Viper...VERY nice (nasty!!) scream to the Roe coming off of turn 10 and on to the straight !!!

Thanks to all the Illinois Club for showing me such a great time. It was interesting listening to the Roe vs. the NA cars. Too bad they were all so much better drivers than me! Maybe next time..
