Personally --- I think that's part of the fun of track days -- driving the old stuff with all it's foibles... skinny little tires -- too much power for the tires etc... I know a lot of guys are all about their track times --- whereas I'm just enjoying the seat time.

I'm with ya here. Plus there are soooo many late model Vettes out on track days. Get lost in the shuffle there.

It's fun to try to make these old junkers do something nice and keep up with those Vettes.

And it's more fun to make those Vette pilots drive past their talent level chasing your old junker.
