Why not come to the race track?

[Mike Lowrey]

1 AutoX event = 3min seat time. Track day = 2hrs track time. Not to mention your actually getting up to higher speeds closely related to actual road speeds.



But at the end of the day you were still drving around a parking lot barely getting into 3rd gear. Its just a substitution for a REAL race track.

Since when can you not learn car control skills in 3rd gear or less? That is just stupid.

AutoX:
Yes, you are doing lower speeds, but the sweepers, offsets, slaloms are coming at you faster. Looking ahead, setting up the car quickly come into play more than a typical track day. Why? Because an autox course is very compressed. You don't have that long straight to setup the car for the next corner, you have to do it immediately off the last corner. Small mistakes show up more in an autox.

I enjoy track days and autox. Lately I have been doing more track days than anything, but nobody can say that autox's are "useless", "gay", etc. That is a general statement and it is just a stupid comment.
