You should join us!Also, if you go through the trouble of buying plugs, make sure you actually drill the holes in your belly pan and install them. The inch+ of water that collected in mine is not the sort of ballast I really wanted  . |

If you're unsure of the whole track thing, most providers offer a sampler or street ride option. This might be two sessions in the morning or a lunch time parade lap for free. Think of it like a free sample from the dealer to get you addicted. Also, even if people in the puts look like they're off in their own little world, almost everyone is always friendly and open to talking if you approach them.
