I'm hooked on the road racing for sure. I enjoy autocross but it doesn't quench my thirst. I was born a speed demon and road racing satisfies it and then some. That being said, it's not near as safe. The consequences are compounded. I'd recommend instruction to anyone that is planning to run. The RTTC instruction was basic but important. It gave us novices a chance to learn the line and get comfortable. It was only my second time on a road course with the first being a basic failure with a puked power steering pump. I have to say I liked that dirty old El Toro track more than Spring Mountain. It was more interesting and the track wasn't perfect. You had to adapt your driving style to match the imperfections instead of playing by the book. Maybe I'll change my mind when I get a chance to run full bore on Spring Mountain.
